My Writings: SET FREE

(Though often depressed, I had good days too.  Slowly I began to reject the draconian view the church held about homosexuality --- though I remained a virgin until 28 --- my spirit was beginning to embrace the idea that I was "ok" just the way I am --- gay!  I was about 15 or 16 when I wrote this poem)

Their Songs Rang Louder In Time

But I Made a Sound And I Made It Mine

So I Set My Sails

And I Set ‘Em High

I Spread My Wings

And I Spread ‘Em Wide

I Sang My Song

And I Sought My Dreams

And I Reached For The Son

On Crystal Beams

And When By Chance

I Should Fall

I Stood Again

And I Stand Real Tall

For I Seek All I Can Be

And I Know What I Am

But My Dreams Will Sail The North Winds

Before The Winter Can...

So Don’t Curse Life

For The Ups And Downs

The Highs And Lows

The Leaps And bounds

Just Open Your Eyes

And You Shall  See

A Lesson Learned

Is A Spirit Set Free
