Favorite Quote:
&quot;Writing eases my suffering. It&#039;s my soul&#039;s medicine. I write when I hurt. I write what I fear. Writing is my form of personal freedom. I write to save myself. I write to survive as an individual.&quot;<br /> ~Amor Magner


The relief and escape of sleep
Evade me,
Like a wary bird
Flying higher than the range
Of a hunter’s bow.

I sit enveloped in my thoughts,
With only the moon and stars
For company.
Silent and ponderous,
I wonder about things
Long gone and faded,
And recall memories
As sharp as shards of glass,
That cut my mind
Into many scattered pieces
That I attempt to glue back together.
