I have a wife, three girls (one died in a car accident - she was a sweet 16yr old 2/07/09 RIP) and a few dogs. I started writing poetry in 2007. I enjoy writing and hope others enjoy reading (them) . Poetry is my outlet/out-reach. I'm so glad to have found this site. I have been chasing the Truth for most of my adult and late teen years - still chasing/searching/ finding and correcting my outlook/philosophy. Hope you do the same. Keith

to take your pain and fears away?

fearing each day, till the end of your show.

giving up the world and all its lust, after lust.
The mind is willing, but the body seems weak.
