My Life Has Been a Poem (eBook)

MY LIFE HAS BEEN A POEM: 

A brief sampling of some personal poems I’ve written since meeting my guru in 1969.

A Note from the Author

In many ways poetry has ruled my life. I began to write poetry at age 13 or perhaps I should say poetry began to write itself through me. At age twenty-three I entered my guru’s ashram and on the way in, I threw away all my previous writings and possessions. Since then, I have penned over 2,000 poems of all shapes and sizes. I was the lyricist for 6 albums of music, four of which were widely distributed throughout the world. This book is a brief and somewhat random stroll through that forest of verbiage where I am the writing pen and Saraswati Devi is the poet.
