I hug the silence of my home

for safety!

I surround myself in its space

for peace.

I let all the sounds I feel

lull me!

My home is wise and gentle.

I find myself in its calm…

My home is fair and patient.

My breath is of its energy.

I hug the silence of my home

for safety!

I listen to the music that rise

in the dark.

I fit the cadence of its dance

in the light.

I hug my home for safety!

In silence!! …

I am a professor, a poet, an author, and an immigrant. I am the survival of many political and economical hardship. As a political immigrant, it took me a long time to master the English language and to come to terms that I can never see my family again. "THE PARTING FROM MY FAMILY WAS THE BEGINNING OF A FRIENDSHIP THAN THE END OF OUR FRIDAYS!" My autobiography, "THE RAIN STOPS IN TEXAS" was published in 1997 by Eakin Press. It can be found in Amazon. As Ernest Hemingway says, write about something you know, most of my novels are about cultural difference of the old and new and American style of living compare to my home country. My poetry are in all forms. I write as they come to me. My first draft is always my last draft. "THIS IS MY WORLD, WELCOME!" "THANK YOU FOR BEING HERE!"
