J Patrick Murphy Biography

My darkness has overtaken,
My light shrinks beneath its gloom.
When will my wildfire be 'wakened?
That my passion may fin'lly bloom?
...

When first light dawns far in the east,
And hatchlings chirp for morning's feast,
When night's last stars say their goodbyes,
And you awake with dreary eyes,
...

A pebble - tossed into a pond - can boast
A little power. The force within one stone
Producing tiny waves upon its host.
The transformed surface - how reactive prone!
...

My vessel fair 'Duality' faces dark tempest'ous night.
As dreadful storm oppresses, she curses her dreadful plight!
...

Were I a bird
I would race across the skies by day
And nest upon this mountain at night
What for others is an impossible ascent
...
