I rode a painful trail,
because not doing so curtailed
Biting hard on Areion’s bit,
all else in life assailed
With blinders on I forged ahead,
whose route my will complied
Its ledges steep, all fear below
—my destiny astride

Legacy Of Fear
Would you rather die
than be embarrassed
Rather destitute
than shamed
Would you rather set your heart on fire,
than barter out your name
Does your reputation matter,
will your legacy endear
Does what others think,
release the pain
That haunts
—and drives your fear

First Things First
The gateway to good writing
—always tell your story first
