Courage Wounds- an Anthology for Natural Warriors

As a unique Poet, I walk the Earth with gratitude and joy as I am part of the solution to heal its wounds.

Mother Earth feels real pain like we do and I wonder how she is coping with the hole in the Ozone Layer, which to my understanding is what we humans have caused? What do you think?

To describe my purpose in life and, of course that of "Courage Wounds", I quote an extract from my poem, 'Synchronize':

"Your eyes and ears

Are the likes of courageous Foot- Soldiers

Who in the flicker of a moment

Are readily alert

To become fugitives

Sacrificing everything

Fools only inflict wounds

Surpassing the real man's struggle

To safeguard their people

While the burning Spear Of Truth

Leaps out

Thwarting ignominy at its roots

So the Human Race

Can Survive."

Indeed, I am that very 'Spear Of Truth' in the Vast scheme of things!

Our fellow people are physically, mentally or emotionally broken because they put maximum strength and sacrifice to restore our World to its former Glory and to save it from extinction. Such beautiful hearts are captured in the form of our Soldiers in the Army, who fight in Wars to save humanity from decline. Our heroes!

My faith is illustrated in, "Courage Wounds" and I hope the words of my poems set hearts on fire, instilling enlightenment in free- spirited people.

I want to reach people with hopeful empathy. Vulnerable people deserve our support. As a fellow human, I feel responsible for phenomenal suffering caused by homelessness, Wars, etc both home and abroad. 'Isolated' cleverly illustrates mine and my dear people's suffering:

"I'm so cold

Out here

Hungry for the warmth of Unity

Isolated

But never alone

Living in faith not fear

I'm so upset now

Because I'm discovering missing pieces

Of life's quest

The truth hurts me

Now I'm crying

I realize fully

Why it suits Society

To 'sit on the fence'

Cheering on the corrupt concoction

Of systematic traps

To catch the innocent

In the name of 'Status Quo'

This Empire is alive and kicking

They want to keep

'Ethnic Minorities'

Out of someone else's crisis

To sustain the divide

And to ensure their collection

Of material bounties

They revel in keeping

Ordinary people

Under their thumb

And buried underground

Labelled as 'bad'

And labelled as 'criminals'

They won't fight

For equal Human Rights

And equal Justice

Because they know

That while the system is grinding good folk down

They are left alone

Filling the gap."

I am on a magical lyrical journey as an extraordinary Writer, like flying on a magical carpet. My inspirational talent is designed to uplift and enlighten future generations of life beyond the passages of time and space.

I bring beautifully powerful messages to everyone. I write from the heart and consequently my work can be understood when read with an open heart and mind. That is the only pre-requisite of feeling my poetry and allowing it to touch you. Let me show you the light of my poem, 'Butterfly':

"The nature of a butterfly

Its feathery wings

Powdery soft

Colourful vigour

Floating freely through spaces in the sky

Projecting endless love

So subtly you almost miss it

Oh, dear butterfly

You truly are free

And now I know what freedom really is

On a hot summery day

You warm my heart

With your delicate dance

Trickling droplets of joy

Surrounding you as you fly

Tickling my heart- strings

With your comforting love

I respect you, dear butterfly

And respect your body

And life- beauty

You teach me to fly forever

You savour the sky

Loving the gift of life

You show off your colours and you shine

Surrendering to Mother Earth's breath

Saying thanks for the source

That is oxygen

If only I could perfect my expression

Even to come close to yours

Effortless drifting...

drifting...

drifting."

My aim is to move the spirit of its readers, giving them a sense of liberation and awe. This is empowerment personified and the truth sets our hearts free! Amen.
