 I call this segment where I will feature his poetry called  " LETTERS FROM THE EDGE' -  Enjoy!



Stop
We get so busy with our
lives
We miss the boat to
paradise,
Moments swiftly passing
by
Until it’s time to die
Yet die we must but
constantly
To moments of eternity,
Time is but a vast, deep sea
Of the heart set free
From all the turmoil and
the toil,
The ceaseless tears shed on
soil
Stained with bloodand
sweat and spoiled,
Life the great gargoyle
On the church of love
installed,
Spouting fetid waterfalls
Upon our freedom and the
call
Of peace for one and all;
There is no peace for those
who face
The other way from life’s
true grace,
The blissful rain without
the pace
Of life so hectic there’s no
trace
Left of things that matter
most,
The soul, the soul no
longer host
To banquets of the living
ghost
Of love nor life; to death
we toast
And call it life, but what is
life
If not the need for paradise
To fill the ache and vacant
eyes
Of wasted moments in our
lives!
