One man alone will help you discover your talent here...

Whether the sun is drenching my anxious soul, the rain is brewing my rapid imagination, or the dusk of an old day is preparing me to slumber in the beauty of what was and what will be... expressing myself through Poetry will always shadow my being, heart and soul.

Of all life's greatness, woes and mysteries, there's a part of me that is never left without the ability to express myself. The poetic voice of wisdom within.It started the day I could literally write it on paper. This voice is undying and incapable of hiding in the realm of my hearts chambers. It's the most wonderful feeling just knowing that, regardless of what my heart is enduring, the master of expression, himself, is always there basking in total darkness and also very happy. It's truly as if there's always a partner, a friend, and a teacher lurking around my heartstrings ready to heighten my life's expectations to another level... hour after hour, day after day, dream after dream. I have to admit, as many poets would, my obsession with creating heartfelt masterpieces for myself or for others certainly controls my life as I travel it. And though I've discovered that this mastery makes me the the kind and compassionate person I am, I still credit others.

I believe God gives us all one gift in this life to heighten our existence. This gift of writing poetry is mine, though not mine alone! As I etch another persons legacy, as if on a diamond's facet, I feel, I see, and I taste what their life is all about. God allows me to use His eyes, his senses and His emotions at all times. From me to them, to shine for an eternity seems to be the greatest evidence of existence I can offer another person. I can give others their link to the future through poetry. I am God's employee and the pay is the greatest! Expressing who others are, and the mark they have made on life bleeds from my very soul as if my emotions are always riding a conveyor belt through life. How blessed I am! How blessed I am! Many times this platitude has been the staple of which keeps me longing to do more with my poetic side. How blessed I am!

It's ironic though, others see what I do as a blessing just for me. I see it as God at work victoriously sharing His word every day with all of us! How blessed we all are to have this Master of heartstrings always expressing our greatness as He stands by our side. Therefore, I truly believe that if you look hard enough you too are certain to find eternal employment with this poetic Master of life, just as I have! Whether it's through expressions of the heart, crafting a masterpiece, or just being a compassionate and kind loving person...these are all GREAT gifts to be accounted for!

Share life's employment with the world because...

GOD is Great! God is Great!... and His compensation is eternal bliss!
