Words are my passion. As much a creative writer as anything else, I love the moment when a perfect phrase helps a thought come alive. Social issues interest me as do political and parenting ones. Any issue that sparks a question is a good one for me.

Erasing empty feelings,
giving them new life.
Yet here they stay forever
within my weary mind.
Hidden from the light,
mine alone to bear.
