VISIT THE A J LEWIS POETRY SITE
Yes I am a poet, as if the world needed another, right? Well, as you will discover (if you haven't already), I am good at this craft. I like to type on the computer or typewriter when I write (whatever meets my mood at the time). I am honest and to the point, meaning I am not afraid to say what I think. I like walks in the park and late night phone conversations. I like to read Bukowski when I take a shit on the toilet and Rilke when it rains. I think that Snyder is brilliant. I know that there is a God, but I have serious doubts about organized Christian religion. I am a Pisces, which means I am moody, emotional and sensitive. I like to drink vodka in the afternoon, but don't call me a fucking drunk, because I can out drink any of you little shits. I am not athletic, but I excerise occasionally. I am a vegetarian. I write to get this loud voice of poetry out of me and into words. Please... only the serious should read on. I am not interested in the boring, mundane, average or the needy. I am not attempting to be a hero, nor am I a role model. I am just a poet with an honest voice. I am awaiting your reaction to my poetry.
The Journey Of The Spirit is a collection of poetry and artwork by A. J. Lewis. It is a striking translation of the connection that we all share with the Earth. Each poem is a journey into the spirit, and the artwork is a captured moment of this journey. The sun will rise and set in this book; clouds will form and reform; rain will break through the sky and the wind will pass through the trees; and as you read this book, you will be taken through the author’s life and your own. A. J. Lewis has brought forth his imagination and has let the Earth around him touch his most inner workings, and as you will find out, the Earth around you is not so far off after all.

Wet Dirt (from "The Journey Of The Spirit")
it is raining on this desert tonight
and I am a memory - a chapter from my childhood.
you see,
often my parents would yell at each other... it would be unbearable.
to escape them I would go outside.
sometimes it would rain
and it would cover me.
as a child it was hard growing up with them.
it was difficult to listen to their voices
and their frustrations with life.
but my life is not a result of theirs anymore.
I have grown into this man,
and I have moved beyond the memories of them.
as this storm passes through,
I will tell you this:
tonight this is only rain
and a memory entertained
by a quiet evening of my own design.
Thanks so much for adding me! I hope I can
further your understanding of our universe,
and give you realistic hope for "faster than
light" travel without violating relativity!
