I began poetry as a teenager in love and wrote lots of stuff that I hope nobody ever sees. I've stuck with it and developed my craft through the years. I studied Shakespeare in England, which was inspirational, and took a course on Milton's Paradise Lost, which inspired me, too. I practice law, which is gratifying in its own way, but I like to keep up with poetry because it can bring insight and clarity and beauty to your life.
To praise the Lord is good.
For praise is communion with God.
For praise heals the heart and soul.
For praise is right, for the Lamb of God is worthy of it.

Imagine you're in heaven
It's easy if you try
With hell below us
Above us only Christ
