About Me

Isn't it fascinating when life imitates music? That song was written before it became my reality. But, this I can say, I've overcome both the Soldier and the Sailor...that fan can be a damn good life jacket!!! Without it, I'd have surely gone down with the Ship of Fools. So, I've returned from the ashes of my fire, like Venus and am shining brightly once again. Always have been a travelor, living in Brooklyn, Queens, Morgantown, Holmes Beach and now, downtown Sarasota....Happy in my new home and with the changes I've made in my world. I was skipping happily on the path once again with the Sailor who's returned from the depths of his sea, but have released him once again so he may be free. The storyteller surely doesn't know how this tale will end. Raise the drinking horn again Let laughter fill the hall The storyteller has returned from other ports of callHe seems to be a younger man than when he went away- though you and I, my own true love, have lived to show our dayStill you seem a stranger in the flesh of someone dear While the storyteller speaks I feel your darkness stirI see the shadows on the wall take color, depth and form I see a lion's den await three riders in the stormI see you fall upon the ground for space of half an hour Then I see you rise again cloaked in earthly powerI see myself approach the den to work your fateful will Terrapin shines in the west The anxious wind grows stillDid I make the proper choice? The storyteller winks Even though I hear his voice I can't tell what he thinksHand in hand we leave the fire the storytelling done; pinch the candle and retire tonight our dreams are oneCounting stars by candlelight all are dim but one is bright: the spiral light of Venus rising first and shining best from the northwest corner of a brand new crescent moon while crickets and cicadas sing a rare and different tuneTerrapin Station Archivetable, td{background:url
