The Key
Give me your hand
I will show you the key.
My heart shall be its handle,
And window to the soul of eyes
Ever watching.
The tear upon my cheek
Is but a wave rolling across
The ocean of my existence.
Set sail toward my shore
Upon a wind of change,
The horizon will take you
Into a dimension, until now untold.
My island is built of sacred stones
Etched with wars long past,
Its sands imprinted with markings
Cracked and bloodied by a nomads path.
However, as this island I will stand-alone
Relentless to my belief,
Unconditionally refusing the
Safety of an army.
I shall remain a proud
And solitary man,
Until you find me.

About the Book
Thought provoking and emotionally inspirational, this poetry is truly a "new age" style. Gary was born to middle class parents in the very quiet west end of Toronto, Canada in 1950. His home bordered the Etobicoke ravine where he grew up playing hockey on its open-air creek. He eventually graduated high school two years early because of academic achievements. He went on to marry and have two beautiful children and moved to a rural Ontario town to raise them. He coached and played hockey for years until the children were grown. His writing came forth naturally and has followed him to his early retirement, as he built his dream home on a lake with one of his best friends. It has been a rocky road at times, but the writing that has emerged from it all is truly inspirational.
