See the strange grace
of a soaring vulture
to whom death is life
and carnage, beauty
it is noble, majestic even
with wings stretched wide
in its cylindrical search
hoping for the hopeless
taking joy in the descent

"Poetry and Hums aren't things which you get, they're things which get you. And all you can do is go where they can find you." ~ Winnie the Pooh
"Poems are forever floating through my mind and if I don't catch them pin them to the page they are gone forever and what good is that?"
~ My journal (age 14)
