The red beating of the heart and soul
Amidst the green, green meadows
Brings the warriors to battle–strong, determined, whole
Lurking in the early morn as mere hints of living shadows
Whispers of unheard footsteps gliding o’er wet fields of dew
Startled breaths gasped in hollowed throats
Then soldiers’ war cries on the clearing air flew
Scrambling from long-ships and skimming wee boats
Approach the shores of doom
The aftermath a blazing fire in the sun rays hiding the gloom
Forest & sailing metaphors of life, my favorite 😉

So good to hear from you, Robert! I’ve been wrapped up in finishing my 8th book, “Annie’s Story, Blessed With A Gift”. Finally! Should be an eBook on amazon in a matter of hours? The 6×9 is done, but still in pre-launch. We did a nonprofit, fundraiser which went amazingly well. When is your next book due out?
