About The Poem “Someone Is Watching” From The Book, The Day Of the Hidden Truth Poems
From the words of echoing power and from the mind and spirit of the poet, Martin Freier comes the true words of hidden truths:
“Miles from shore I felt lost in a stormy sea.
All alone without a friend,

I found no peace in slumber,
For I always woke up with empty dreams…..”
