The beauty of a poem
The beauty of music
The beauty of light
The beauty of life

A man alone
is a night alone
is a poem alone
a man alone

A FEW KIND WORDS

A few kind words
From a stranger far away

A life is lived the way it is lived
I did what I did

And whether he stops or runs,
A man walks slowly to his own grave
wherever he is,

My Despair comes and goes
It is not the ultimate despair
The despair of those who have forever lost hope
The despair of those who have lost what they never will regain
...

WHEN THERE IS NO HOPE AND NOTHING TO HOPE FOR

When there is no hope and nothing to hope for
When no specific path presents itself
...

THERE ARE SO MANY POETS

There are so many poets
Many have won prizes
