I was born in Willmar, MN and grew up on a farm near Pennock, MN. Went to SouthwestStateUniversity at Marshall, MN and took some creative writing courses. I went on to MankatoStateUniversity in Mankato, MN and graduated with a degree in Human Environment and Design. I took one year of graduate school in Vocational Rehabilitation Counseling. I have poems published in poetry.com books. I like to meet creative people and see what they have accomplished. I also enjoy traveling, swimming, and painting.
Prophecy Shining
Gravity forbids. Prophecy foretells. We are going to experience the clandestine liberation from the rules of arbitrary living. As a vapor we will rise from the earth into the brightest of all heavenly lights and begin shining until the darkness breaks.
Newness of Life
Time explodes and fairy dust falls everywhere. We are magically transformed into beings of light so bright we have to see with our spirits and sing with our souls.
Sands
Shifting sands of emotions dart one way then another violating the depths of emptiness that no joy can fill.

Dark Hope
There is no deeper darkness than one that does not end. The tortured know this only too well. If given a choice they would choose to flee mortality and enter a blissful eternity.
Through Darkness to Light
Black is a thick color. At night it unifies the earth and sky. In rural areas scattered lights shine as the stars. Big city lights shine as the moon. At times there is total darkness, no light, no hope, and I swim in a sea of darkness until the sun comes up.
