ben trail

here's one by the late soldier, teacher, and poet benard doss trail, the man who taught me to be a writer.

CREED by B.D. Trail

I believe in poetry - the dead speaking
to the almost dead, their hearts still beating,
cadenced chanting I am not alive.

I believe Hell is the place reserved
for those who lit no fires in the
Heaven of another human heart.

-B.D.T.

thanks 'n' a tip o' the hat to terry for sending this.
