JUNK POETRYI'm just your average junk poet!My poems will clearly show it! Such poetry looks, sounds like junk,That's below standards sunk! That crass, crude stuff, contains,Yet poetry-like in form remains. No fixed themes, reason, rhyme,Just whatever came to mind.But junk poetry, to be sure,Has merit, as does manure.Yet, poems in their clever way,Convey ideas we wish to say, That some may even pause to read,That normally, they'd no way heed.

Ex 3:1414 And God said to Moses (Donald J. Trump), "I AM WHO I AM." And He said, "Thus you shall say to the children of Israel, (the United States of America) 'I AM has sent me to you.'" NKJV About the AuthorSantiago's most cherished desire is to be a catalyst to ignite a worldwide end time revival and to go into as many countries as the Lord permits to conduct pastor's conferences and to write a sequel to this treatise as the Lord continues to reveal His desire to up-lift (rapture) us from this present fallen, evil world. This is his passion and why the Lord sent him back to earth from a near-death experience when He said to him "go back to your wife and children." His wife being the church and his children being the children of God he has written this message to.

Valentine not only enjoyed horror novels and movies but also the study of ancient mythologies. The Greco-Roman variety of myths was his favorite, but eventually he branched out into studying world religions as a whole. He earned his Bachelor's Degree in Philosophy and Religious Studies from Radford University in 2008. During his time there, he always found himself drawn to the practices of ancient Pagans and the darker side that is prevalent in ancient and even modern religion. Given his interest in both the study of religions and horror, we come to his current work of fiction. He has done some field work in paranormal investigations (although voluntarily, not as a professional).

The Ocean of OM: Thou Art That is a short book of philosophical poetry. It is born out of the Universal Contemplative Tradition, although it has great affinity to the Advaita Vedanta. It is about arriving at True Peace, about realizing and remembering the True Self. OM is that Silent Peace that is present everywhere, yet often goes unnoticed because of its subtlety. This Silent Peace is Reality and the True Self is behind the person who seeks.About the AuthorThe Ocean of OM: Thou Art That is a continuation of the author's work which started in his first book, The Hidden-Self of Sheer Silence. While The Ocean of OM is a poetic work focused on the Silent Non-dual Reality of the SELF, The Hidden-Self was a devotion work of prose. This transition from devotion to the Silent Non-dual Reality, from Bhakti to Jnana, is not commonly experienced or written about. The author speaks from his experience of crossing this bridge classically termed Tat Tvam Asi-Thou Art That.
