I searched throughout my life for the meaning of life, more honestly for the meaning of my life. I demanded to find it face to face, breath to breath. And then found it in salvation and years of joy; face to face, breath to breath. Suddenly there came years of tangled and troubled events and with those years came writing from the deep emotions that followed. In the writing of Verses of Life, of Love, of God those events would often express themselves through the life of someone sitting alone in thought, a child lost in their world, fictional characters, or myself, breathing, aching, loving as they, as I lived my life. Then in expressing that pain there would often come a vision of clarity even hope. God is the theme of my book as if He was observing us and I was privileged to listen in to His thoughts. Though only through Rhema of the Word and direct revelation can we truly know His heart and will for each of us, the Word of God reveals His heart and He has pressed upon the earth that heart and wants us to hear its beating. Poetry is that medium of expression that can exert itself with a glance at a face, a memory thought long forgotten, an unsettling, even tragic experience, with nowhere to put it except in verse; and a way of expressing love that is deeply personal and hopefully original. In the writing of poetry there occurs a spontaneous movement of thoughts that seem to collect upon a subject, and so often it is the subject that has been moving within our life. If we attempt to write about a subject and there is little inspiration the poem will trail off into an effort, but not poetry. Today the earth is in turmoil politically and spiritually-marriages ending, children plunging into sin; so if a word can reach someone and turn them toward righteousness, toward life, not death, then it is a word of life. Poetry has taken a different course with todays authors. No longer the Tennysons, the Brownings, Miltons, Wordworths, Emersons; rather little rhyme
