"I believe all of us are on a path of learning. At certain times in our lives we start to ask the age old questions. Why are we here? Who am I? When we really start to seek and are in earnest the answers start to come. And then the quest begins. We start to make choices based on awareness. Then we take responsibility for our lives and try to find meaning and purpose. I believe my purpose is to express myself artistically. I hope these words take you to far reaching places of your mind. Maybe even inspire!"
"I have been an artist all my life. My passion is to create and I have been blessed with many talents. Most recently, in my life I
was given another gift, the desire to write and recite
poetry. My poetry themes are metaphysical in nature and beg to be comtemplated. I enjoy philosophy, ancient cultures and histories, metaphysics, human evolution, Neuro Linquistic Programming, yoga, meditation and inspirational stories and books.
It is my intention that you find these poems
stimulating and helpful in the quest to know "The Real Self" your own soul.
Chasing the Spirit
I hear calling and run to the door
But no one is there
I hear beautiful singing
But when I try to understand the words the song disappears
I feel breezes blowing through me
But I can't hold on to them
I see faces in the clouds
But when I try to speak to them
The faces turn into clouds again
I smell the fresh scent of a just picked flower
But once picked the scent
is soon gone
I see the curtain open to my
worldly play
But the actors are all me
I close my eyes to sleep and dream
But when I awaken I have forgotten
