Set Free


Held by illusion's grasp
Shackled in painful confine

Imprisoned in coveted care
Time, purpose, call and command

Set free the souls and hearts of man.

Thank you for sharing my words. I am pleased that they have spoken to you - that is indeed the intention. And YES, what is posted is a recent photo of me. Your compliment is most appreciated.

Best always,
