(from In the Shadow of my Pen : A Collection of Poetry and Prose
In the shadow of my pen, I release the words from my soul.
As I write, my words flow like a river, unending.
There are often dams along the way, even some debris.
But I never let that stop the flow of these words that belong to me.
My soul has a story to tell, even though at times it has been through hell.
Only when my heart ceases to beat will my story end.
Until that day comes, I will continue to write in the shadow of my pen.
