About

  “KNOWING THAT

 What I think

 Soon becomes my art.

 BELIEVING THAT

 I have lived on the lip of insanity

 Knocking on the door.

 BEING THAT

 American lover of beauty and the good,

 I am a searcher, an artist.

 SEEKING THOSE

 People vast enough in spirit

 To be companions”

***

 Ancestor

 I feel your feelings.

 My heart soars

 when memories of you appear.

 All the colors

 of all the people

 show in your face.

 Now and forever

 It is as you say…

 …Good
