Street Sign
This poem and painting were created based on events that occurred during my childhood. I never understood why until my adult years; but there was something, be it an inner voice or my intuition, that would always stir up this feeling that, the world was much bigger than what I had seen. I would say to my Mother, "it feels small here" and "I'm too big". She would laugh at first, only to realize that I was serious.

"Through Hollow And Hope"
Hello, Dear Reader This is a poem that I had written in 2019 and was performed on stage in front of a panel of judges from our local Poetry and Performing Arts community. It was an exclusive event, to which one could only attend by invitation. I was performing some of my work at a local venue, and one of the judges was a member of the audience. I did not know this at the time; but he said that he enjoyed my performance and ask if I would accept an invitation to perform for one of their events. Of course, I was honored and I accepted. He explained that the judges panel consisted of published Authors and Poets... and said that they can be Brutal if they are not impressed by any particular performer. My confidence was too high to be intimidated, so I attended... and he wasn't kidding! When it was my time to performed- I nailed it! It was with this poem and my painting that not only earned me some very high accolades, but one of the judges became teary-eyed as well! The comments were so overwhelming and left me humbled and grateful for this opportunity. It was because of this piece, that I selected to compete in an annual Poetry competition, to represent the local Poetry and Performing Arts Community.
