“An ember glows brightest—
when it's almost gone…”

“I am troubled by stories that institutions of science and learning are becoming an enemy of our country’s political greatness.”

“Remembering youth
Angels saved me from myself…”

“Be the clear voice and purest grace
of an effervescent—babbling brook…”

“there comes a time in our life expeditions
when we must stand up for sheer goodness…”

"True courage stands tall..."

"merciless breakers of rolling rage
born beneath lost—lonely rainbows
churn deep colors into hoary froths..."

“our love danced upon silver flocks of stars

long before time was ever contemplated”

“evergreens huddle around my dark sorrows
quieting anxious tines of ravaging nerves
whispering their draught of greener spice
I breathe spellbound in a wilderness temple”

“long after all my enraged eruptions end
earthquake shudders soften into silence
penetrating diamonds of harsh hails hush”

“awkward paths of sky
move slow—ahead
of mysterious breaths
in dawn’s lonely air”
