Why I Write Verse, etc...

''I like to build, to make things. And you can build something out of practically anything. Want to build a song? We use notes. A house? 2X4's. A pyramid? Blocks of stone. I once saw a house in Arizona built with soda and beer cans! Have words in your head? Build a story. 

I like poems/songs. When I'm inspired the words follow like water and when I am finished, usually in less than an hour - what was once a blank screen now is filled with words - words that never existed before in that arrangement and that is the magic of it all. 

That is why I build. It is divine inspiration that uses my God given talent to create was was not there before...so that leads to the question: Who is the true builder and architect of it All?''
