Albert Lee Moran is many incarnations, both metaphysical and mudane. He enjoys storytelling to children and adults alike, and spends many hours entertaining both. With the wide variety of life experiences, he has a never ending reservoir of tales and poems to draw from.
He writes for many small local markets, ranging from editing local group newsletters to national magazines. His writing spans essays, eulogies, short stories, and poetry. Derived from an interesting start on a poor Indian reservation, to modern-day technology. He actively continues to improve himself with classes from universities, and other self-paced classes online and at local schools. He lives in Southern California with his wife, Rhona, and daughter, Megan (who is a paid freelance writer for a girl's magazine at age eleven), and Miniature American Eskimo dog, Frodo Baggins.
He enjoys participating in local poetry readings, with Tebot Bach being his favorite.

Pristine |
Earth's gentle lullabies
purring into my ears.
Sprawled on unruffled
emerald meadow.
Dispatches flimsy fears...
to remote nameless points,
with a mental catch
securing the link -
stronger than steel
could ever be.
I yet bask here
amongst novel,
easing, flawless space.
All worry is imprisoned -
sterile in instance.
No uncertainties,
no biased quandary
building on vulnerable.
Release! Reprieve.
My mind hovers
in unpolluted breeze,
foreseeing impending.
Rejuvenated strength.
Fluttering flora and fauna
under shimmering billows,
sail above me
tremor below me.
The boulders
absorbing my view
covering one by one
as I sink into earth.
Caress of bliss.
Drizzle,
shiny clear droplets
fresh cool delight.
In hallowed fallow
pure presence
I recline still,
unyielding,
passionate,
and pristine.
