My Imagination, mixed with the loss of a safe haven in my neighborhood and the lack of that moving music of the 1970's along with the curse of addiction upon myself and my community, pushed me to be creative. I thought if I could create something from nothing, such as a song or a poem, then my life might be worth something. It was more than just a distraction. The songs and poems that I wrote made my life worth living. The written word became everything to me in a world where my country, my community, and my own God given strength had failed me. It is from this field of my life's journey that I create a thing of substance, something eternal. Through all the pain and power, a dim starlight illuminates the storm inside of my mind, and a song is born. The poet in me awakened and I am no longer another sentient soul irrelevant. The universe inside me becokons to be heard. With joy in my heart I would like to take you on a journey. From sinner to saint, from helpless to hopeful and with rhythm and rhyme. Until at last, at last, you and I are free.
