The Truth
Truth is a smile not a story.
It is in this moment and not in the
Retelling of what has passed.
Stories
Are memories that remind us that we are alive.
They remind of us that we have lived and
They remind us that we are not alone.
Lies
Are when we deceive ourselves
That living is anything but beautiful...
Even in a monsoon.
Richard J, Nedervelt
These are poems from my upcoming book. I hope you all enjoy them as they are added. The Power in me was the last poem in my first book,Code of Silence Deep Within, published by me back in 1987. I had the honor of being on KPBS radio in San Diego to talk about it. It was a great feeling to know that someone walked into a bookstore, flipped through my book, and bought it. Any writer couldn't ask for a better complement.
