I love you because no two snowflakes are alike, and it is possible, if you stand tippy-toe, to walk between the raindrops.

Poets can tell the truth as they see it. It’s the author’s story, the author’s voice.

Death is a slave's freedom.

Who I am really keeps surprising me.

His headstone said FREE AT LAST, FREE AT LAST But death is a slave's freedom We seek the freedom of free men And the construction of a world Where Martin Luther King could have lived and preached nonviolence.

I want to be clear about this. If you wrote from experience, you'd get maybe one book, maybe three poems. Writers write from empathy.

We are better than we think and not yet what we want to be.
