Back to Poetry

Yes, I'm returning to poetry. I'm moving from the abstract text-blocks I developed in the last year or so, to a more conventional form. Loosely linked words and phrases, with some repetition, focused more outward and less inward in subject. But it's the mix of outward subject with inward context that I hope will capture something that others will find worth reading.

This is a way to find meaning through creative work. I am reminded from one of the Hasidic blogs that I read that Joy is an important part of life. God wants us to be happy, to be joyful, and to live fully and creatively. God or not, we all seek happiness in life. It can be found, but the process may be longer and more difficult than we were expecting.
