MOVING FOREWORD

From the mind of a poet to the deep darkness of truth, my right hand stretched forward to reach my people, my feelings of that which is true. Communication amongst many people, I have accepted various opinions. Spiced and flavored and strengthened, free to all captors of visions. My mind has been cornered in places, my feelings stuck in shaded situations. My self inspired by the delight of all that I have experienced. On a daily basis I pray, asking God for my inspirations.

I have sat in services on some Sunday mornings, fulfilled with church blessings. I have been heartened by soul, overwhelmed by the pastor’s messages. Enlightened with the spirit to construe what I fail to fully understand. My adrenalin warmed and excited, my soul dancing. My mind has been stricken by the fire of the Sword; my tears, my incentive. I have sat on the edge of seats at attention, to my delight, inspired by orators of all denominations. I, the numerator, give unto God all my praises.
