“Are you a poet full of noise and empty sounds? if so you are like one of those mountebanks that make us laugh when they are weeping and make us weep when they laugh. Or are you one of those gifted souls in whose hands God has placed a viola to soothe the spirit with heavenly music, and bring his fellow men close to Life and the Beauty of Life? If so, you are a torch to light us on our way, a sweet longing in our hearts and a revelation of the divine in our dreams.”
~Kahlil Gibran
I never really gave myself a title of poet, but I would say I’m a writer…sort of. I write – sometimes it flows, sometimes it doesn’t. But when I do put pen to paper (or fingers to a keyboard), what am I really saying? What gets across? I hope I reveal God. My desire is not to push others away…or to confuse them as to who my Lord really is. Whether in poetry or letter, whether on paper or in action…I want to be true to the God I serve and my complete and utter need for His Grace. Hopefully I am true to that, at least as best as I can be… today.
