Often I have thought submitting poetry is a secretive divulging of the authors diary. That thought has brought me to this prose.

Someday I will be known for the words I do pen

Maybe not in my life, really don’t know when.

My hurt, my loves, all I want and willingly share

They all come on the screen, then remain right there.

Not every day, nor every week and not in a year

My heart is emptied, then filled up with all that is sincere.

Releasing my words so they leave my mind and then my heart

Keeps me rewriting, recomposing as if it is only the start.

    We visited Glacier this summer, and we live about 100 miles from it. It’s so beautiful

    Writing is good and a sort of healing. But the medical community would surely stick with the notion: No approved therapeutic claims. It solely depends on us writers. Well done, Rob.

    My sister always says to me, writing is a soul healing. I guess maybe she’s right. I like you pic, thanks, my friend.

    Sure wish I could put pen to paper like you do! I have been away from Triond for some time, but there are several – you included – who I have thought about often because I so enjoy reading your work.

    Thanks! :) ~)
