DESTINY
Our lives are shaped
by who we love...
(how it goes,
or doesn't)
if in the dark
no one's voice is near
because of this
and only:
Sand, wind, time, waves.
Between the corridors of Los Angeles and Denver - the crush
of night, the stark of day - love and loss are as present as the
deserts, mountains, valleys, and canyons we veer through...
rivers or trails crossed...people and places missed or touched.
Deciding who to love, or even how - is not an option. Either one
does, or one doesn't. Even the best of choices can fail, the best
of plans can go awry. This is the story of our lives. To know the
difference between death and morning is the secret of life. There
is only the doing or the not doing. One must be led by the heart,
the mind, the spirit. And one's God. Without these, surely we will
break.
Death and Morning was the Poetry winner for the Los Angeles Book Festival, 2011-2012, and the 2012 beach book festival. It was also a winning Finalist in the 2012 International Book Awards.
