Book Cover & Preview Text
"TOWARDS DAWN" Fate’s unraveling a road for me today, though I’m not sure the way Yet it is here becoming clear even with a mist out there And there is that tear which all together surpasses the weather True I’m longer lame and here the light came just the same For I do not play a game and thus have no shame But am serious not delirious Somewhat curious and never with feelings careless Deep go the emotions slow than at a faster pace eve to eve face to face And the bell and the Bell and the bell do toll and tell of the wishing well And of the hell on hell and what is right and what’s not well AS it does swell and become a waterfall cascading down from mountains tall And the deafening silence does shout loud and clear and proud to those who can hear Near here and there where the message is very deal and goes and grows from year to year And it will gird the earth and go round and round and round from mound to mound From morn to early evening to night then deeper midnight Towards Dawn again Go I Ever to feel what is real and true and unending Bringing light on light AS I light the candle bright Each of these days and nights Now with a cup of coffee I’ll outside go And rest as while with a Smile As the sun does glow and the rose does grow Welcoming me like a Eulogy As the music plays always And the sky caresses me tenderly

About the Book
This book Eulogies Unchained is about affirmative struggles through tragedies and the serenity is found within and without sometimes along the rocky road to light in free verse and rhyme as the Bells on Bells Chime with symbols of freedom in the city with the Liberty Bell! And unlike some poems in Seasons in Shadow the first solo collection by this author/artist. The odes especially to suicides (especially of the friends and daughter of the author) are balanced in this volume with sounds turned pictures of reaffirmation cemented in hope to life in all its myriad colors, cycles and dreams.
