Imagine, reader, that your "poetry engine" has stalled. What you need is a creative battery jumpstart. This book will do it with you. From the "Flight Poems of the Imagination" to "Live with a Thorned Heart," "Everywhere Past the Galaxy," these poems attempt to feed and characterize what becomes beauty in images into the profound and ideal, guided by a "Student of Life," pointing to the masters, in an ever- brocaded journey into rhyme and sound; you'll find yourself tasting of a higher power of the divine citing itself somewhere in time before beginning, before the bang. Those fragile words go forth to enrich those who might embark on eternity to find themselves and their deity. Sort or long the verses fall from a poetic heaven, as drops of rain in a storm, as a prelude to life, yet to be. Put yourself in the cockpit, off to find a brilliant star cluster, as far off as you'll go, where even the imaginings run dry. Counsel your peers; bring up your dregs. Carve out an empire rivaling Alexander, The Great still needs to be done. Go with God!
