The Chiang Mai Sessions is my first collection of poetry. I submitted it to BookBaby.com and it is now available on four websites, including Goodreads.com. I don't feel much excitement about this, but I do feel good that it is finally available for readers to pick up if they are so inclined. I feel good that it is in bed, and I look forward to getting the next book online as soon as possible.

sometimes you walk alone
but you have to hold your head high
the road you walk isn't well-known
not many will see what you get to see
only you get to be what you are meant to be

sometimes you stand alone
but you have to hold your head high
where you stand isn't well-known
not many will see what you get to see
only you get to be what you are meant to be

sometimes you’re on the mountain
breathing pure winter air
sometimes you’re in the valley
longing for someone with whom to share
sometimes you’re in the thick of a fight
wondering if anyone is left to care
sometimes it's a lonely star
looking for someone to take the dare

sometimes you sleep alone
tired of holding your head up high
remember the visions you've been shown
in dreams not yet come true
not many will see what you get to see
only you get to be what you are meant to be
