My Choice I who owe my life to thee, Indebted for the life I lead, Am here to speak of truths unknown, By those who walk their paths alone. Freedom beckons, as freedom brings, The words I say, to help me sing, To those who listen open-eyed; With wakeful ears, a choice descried. For here, […]
The Shaman, the Healer and, the Prophet – Warrior’s Blood
This is a continuation of my novel ‘The Shaman, the Healer and, the Prophet’. Still very much a work in progress, I’m presenting it here in the draft stages. It’s a project I haven’t worked on for some years now, but I may well return to it. It follows on indirectly from my previous posting […]

The Tree Gods
The Tree Gods – Tall trees think your answers up into the skies Where clouds form full and thunderous above your wise leaves And the living libraries of your sturdy trunks; with deep roots Reaching far down into the psyche of the earth and all that is. Synaptic charges ricochet from earth to sky through […]

Old Friend

The Overseer – Part One
