Book Cover & Preview Text
On the horizon a stream fit to burst, gurgles out of sight
The central aspect of life, just out of reach
Man will find a way to infiltrate nature’s goodness
He will also cower in fear when the forces of our world threaten
There is only one race that rules here
Or so we would all like to think
On the horizon I stop and stare at a minute corner of our world
So much to catch my eye but only an instant in which to admire it
Time is strapped to my wrist, it tells me I have to move on
Back into the monotonous rules of a dying world
There is no one to check your passport at
The border between man’s control and nature’s power
Even though it is illegally crossed every single day
An extract from the poem 'Infiltrating the Way of Nature'

About the Book
Emotions and feelings are often hidden due to embarrassment or ignorance until they become taboo. Social idealism has no room for them as we all strive for perfection. Unexpressed, they become a hindrance to our everyday lives, taking over our need for rational thought. The human mind stalls when trying to comprehend matters beyond its control. We often launch in before opening the door to our vast library of sentiment. For many this is a cold, dark place to avoid but for others it is a chance to explore.
About the Author
Having to deal with Dyslexia, Irlen Syndrome and being on the austistic spectrum, Tom has always found dreaming easy but implementing these dreams very dificult. With his mind racing at one hundred miles an hour and no recognised outlet for this creative energy, he felt frustrated and neglected by a society demanding conformity. One autumn day, inspired by a walk in the Lake District, he decided to place his thoughts on paper. Dipicting his life through verse, he has now found the outlet for these feelings and emotions. They are now laid bare in this fascinating collection of poems.
