It seems to be so long ago
That you stood and said, "I need to go."
You left The Court for a different land
with just your good name and shield in hand.
With knightly stare you met each foe,
but soon a great stir caused you woe.
For in starry dream Merlin came to you
and you asked, "What would you have me do?"
"Reach deep inside and find the sort
of courage it takes and return to The Court."
With swift-drawn sword the gauntlet was run
after preparations made at rising sun.
Lo, even after these many years
you chose to return without any fears.
You met each challenge and firey test
with unsullied character and gave your best.
With knightly promise I make this vow,
to only one time on bended knee bow.
Now, safely come to this spirited fort.
Joyous! Welcome back to this place called The Court.

The songs and art in this book are about our collective emergence after the pandemic and trauma of the last few years - comprised of 5 collections: World as Refuge, Where We Live, In Our Hands, Rhythms of Change and What We See & Sow.
This book represents a thirty-day period of my poetry journal. Each poem addresses
the dominant thoughts occupying my mind during the early morning hours of a given
day.
My book of poetry is being redone by me, I have a beautiful cover designed and the book will have a few more than 200 poems in it. I am going to have it printed on demand here in Canada. When it is done I will let you know when it is done and if anyo
