"We don't read and write poetry because it's cute. We read and write poetry because we are members of the human race. And the human race is filled with passion. And medicine, law, business, engineering, these are noble pursuits and necessary to sustain life. But poetry, beauty, romance, love, these are what we stay alive for."

The Poet
In yon holy nave, With chalice on high, This blessing he gave To all who were by:
May God never part, The Muse never fail, May Love lead the heart And poetry tell.
Dedicated to a contemporary poet and friend, Regina (aka Obiterspeak) …
