A safe place to go

Alisa Fineman. A California coastline folk singer. A woman with a beautiful voice and kind heart.

  A safe place to go

I'm dreaming of Big Sur.
I'm wanting to be at the River Inn.
Listening to good music and drinking the good wine.

The California coastline saved my life once.
I found a kind woman name Alisa Fineman and many kind people.
Her gentle song and hopeful words make me feel.
I was okay.

She called me the street Poet. A honored name to me today.
She told me. You are going to be okay Johnnie.
No easy life for anyone. Come sit with me.

She held my hands like a old friend.
Caressed my forehead like a child.
She told me. You can't hold on to hate. You must know peace.

I followed her show for three years till I departed California.
I helped her unload her gear and found peace in her sweet voice.
She treated me as a friend.

Today I listen to her music.
Her voice take me back to where I learn to laugh again.
Thank you dear Alisa Fineman.
My kind Angel found on the long road.

Inspiring others by being inspired by others is a direct example of the collective human consciousness.

Its always satisfying to read your clear and honest words.

[Coyote Poetry]

Thank you. In 1992. Alisa came to a stranger and she told him he would be okay. We need the kind people to show us. Life can be okay.

[Lyn Anderson]

The thing about your writing that makes it so powerful is its clear and honest voice. Sans clutter. Pure emotion.

[Coyote Poetry]

Thank you. We are lucky sometimes. We meet truly kind people. Alisa was a folk singer who gave time to a poor soldier. Today she is still singing for peace and love still.

She is still amazing woman. A woman who support love and peace. She is a hero to me. I was a soldier back from war. She caressed my head and she told me. You will be okay my new friend. There are Angels with us. Thank you for reading and the comment.

I love the lines... "She called me the street Poet."
"Street poets`ve got a way to steal beautiful one`s heart with the cold play art of their words." You`ve brought a very systematic imagery to your readers for love." Good to read!

[Coyote Poetry]

Alisa Fineman is still singing. If I get a bonus this year. I will find her again next year. She is singing and supporting the cause of peace and love. A Angel among us. There are some left. Thank you for reading and the comment my friend.

[Wórdsmíth]

All things have reasons. I joined a war to find peace. Army took me to the coastline for three years. I learn life can be okay.

She is working for peace today. I like to show-off her voice and song. Like all places in our world. Unknown singers can be hidden away for the locals only. Thank you for reading and the comment.
