I was once told by a wise man, also a writer, who said to me, “Whatever it is you write down, make it goddamn prophetic!” I’ve always kept that in mind over the years and the more I remember it, the better my writing becomes. True story…

    Silent Prayers

    How does one fly the night with pinioned wingsUpon celestial windsWhich caress the moon and steer the starsBefore the day beginsAnd so,In dreams go I to tethered heartAnd quietly slip the moorTo sail upon the darkling seaIn search of...
