WRITING                                       
Somewhere                                      
between the pain                                                
and the page                                      
               there is hope.                                      

Hope that man                                      
in his humanity                                      
might learn                                      
from his mistakes                                      
might see                                      
a new horizon                                      
where peace                                      
and beauty                                      
rise up.
                                       
Somewhere                                       
between the pain                                                
and the page                                      
there is love.                                      
Love that comes                                      
bearing witness                                      
to hate                                      
love                                      
that out lives anger                                                
                     and war.                                                                            

Somewhere                                      
between the pain                                                
                        and the page                                      
there is a poet.                                      
A poet                                      
who’s heart bleeds                                     
and who’s brow                                      
is furrowed with thought                                      
and hope                                      
and love                                      
           for all of mankind.
