back in the dark ages
when I attended school
I was meandering along with
all the rest
then one day I read a book
a Perry Mason book
defender of the poor and wretched
I consumed
those treasured words
my heart began to sing
when entering worlds I never knew
when I was immersed
in my books
I could, for a moment
forget I wasn't George Robert
son of the richest man in our little town
I forgot my tumultuous home life
n'er knowing
I would in the far off future
sit down and
write books
It seems I'm doing it again
writing another book
based on reincarnation it is
it's name
We Meet Again

Having never written a book myself, I think it is the coolest thing ever...kinda like having kids. Write away sir!

Hi Lori. I had truly believed that I had no more words for another novel. I think I was wrong. Thank you for your kind words.

Jo, yes indeed it is an interesting subject, and that is the reason I am able to find the word to write another novel.
