I have my books And my poetry to protect me; I am shielded in my armor, Hiding in my room, safe within my womb. I touch no one and no one touches me. I am a rock, I am an island.

You want to be a writer, don't know how or when? Find a quiet place, use a humble pen.

Faith is an island in the setting sun, But proof is the bottom line for everyone.

I won't disturb the slumber of feelings that have died. If I never loved I never would have cried...I am a rock.

Was a sunny day, not a cloud in the sky. Not a negative word was heard.

I feel I should try to reveal. When you hit it right, you produce an emotional response in the listener that can be cathartic. When you're wrong, you're soppy, sentimental.

Not every song I write is ecstasy. And it can happen only one time. After that, when you sing the same melody and words, it's pleasure, but you don't get wiped out.
