A Deeper Anthology

Now residing in texas, where i have built my home and live

alone , and am a 28 yr survivor of HIV, derived from a

blood transfusion while active duty military via oral surgery done

in 1983. I now devote my retirement to my preoccupations of

fishing and puttering around my modest home,,along with writting

songs and poems which i have done for 35 plus years, as a singular

vocation.

I feel that in all of us as spirited beings ,we each do hold potential

for compassion some more than others perhaps but still inherant to

us all,,,I write poetry to convey those instincts to those that are less

aware but require reminders that they too are beings of empathy

I trust that my works will offer some a peace of mind and awareness

so needed in this fast paced all too short existance we all share and

to some degree will offer solice in reading words that instill hope

for a better tomorrow, gleened from living, this is my short legacy i

wish to leave.
