The blades stretch
     As the sun reaches down
     Arms extent -
     Fingers pushed to the end.
     The laughter continues.
     Around and around,
     There is never any silence.
     The voices are singing
     as the rain gently falls;
     The voices fade.
     The blades bow to the clouds,
     The laughter is silenced,
     and then the heavens close.
     The laughter is resumed
     The blades show their strength.

     Iron bars encasing
     Each follows the preceding in uniform,
     Of their distorted free will
     Through the days we play one part,
     While rehearsing another in out consciousness
     Each second diverted between reality, and desire
     One weeping; one marvels
     Ruling to think, excusing charged thought
     Tranquility is no place for a dreamer.
     Waves of discontent are too enormous,
     I am wet;
     Soaked with the possibility of a meaningful existence
     Ignorance in exchange for enhancement,
     Stealing from one's own woven net
     Let the holes break the seal,
     Spirits shall dance in the flood.

"I have been writing my thoughts, my words, in essence my poetry for years.  I have enjoyed bringing to light the ideas I find relevant in a world where sometimes the important issues get buried behind simulated relevance.  My family have been the supporters of my spirit and my work since the beginning.  They are the reason I have the strength to be myself.  They gave me the courage to let my friends see all the sides of me I have to offer.  Thank you to all my friends that have realized I can hold  myself up, but sometimes I need someone to hold my hand.

Please contact me with any furthur questions.  Thank you so much",
