For Aged Men

Then came a time to build my shattered life. I had my legal work of course but that was not enough. I rafted for a week down Colorado River rapids. The scenes and feelings evoked there gave birth to river poems presented here. At that time too I wanted back the home life Id abandoned recklessly. The love poems written at that time reflect the hopes and fears and turmoil driving me. I also in those years wrote legal articles that most properly have since been long forgotten and ignored. I then remarried and my inner fears and problems vanished for a while. I never wrote more poetry. The ones presented here were packed away and not looked at again. They now are resurrected as a tribute to those days of insecurity and fear.
