Bio
I am a poet-essayist-singer-songwriter, and advocate for the poor, with a teaching and counseling background. I grew up in Florida, now live in Arden, North Carolina. I also lived in New England 20 years. I love nature, music, and poetry. I am married and we have three adult-kids between us and four grandkids! I am interfaith, leaning toward Taoist, Celtic, and Native American spirituality, and an "Obama Democrat." I am now focusing on our upcoming move (within Asheville) as well as my music and poetry-writing. I also continue to write political columns.

Now That I Cannot Sleep (poetry)

Rate: 3 Flag

well, I can't sleep

and I'm thinking about people

trying to transform me

 

into their own image

and how that feels

 

not good, my friends

now I'm simply writing

to you

 

and waiting for the dawn

 

I think I will walk outside

and look up at the moon

 

and stars, and imagine a world

where the beauty and strength

 

and uniqueness

of each living soul

is acknowledged
