This pastor is so progressive to embrace this poetry. Once you hear the words, it makes you think -- what can we do, where do we go from here?

With all the negativity we are bombarded with on a daily basis, there are positive things that can be done. You can go out, have a great night with your neighbors, without alcohol, and go home feeling empowered.

A Word is Dead

A word is dead
When it is said,
Some say.

I say it just
Begins to live
That day.

I turned silences and nights into words. What was unutterable, I wrote down. I made the whirling world stand still.

Poetry involves the mysteries of the irrational perceived through rational words

Poetry is thoughts that breathe, and words that burn.
