Here is my favourite poem inspired by the Spirit World. Even though I wrote this poem I find more meaning in it every
time I read it. Please note though "kissing a prince(ss) only gets you a frog" means that the two sexes often expect
too much of each other, it isn't meant to be insulting. The Spirit World wouldn't do that and neither would I.
The Caves of Ismaron
Deep are the Caves of Ismaron
Where the Hoogles and Floogles have already gone
They've stolen the map and shredded the guide
If you don't know the way then you're sure to arrive
If you do know the way then you'll only get bored
And miss all the signposts that should be ignored.
It's vital your knowing just where you are going
In this place where the under is over the ground
In time without measure, in search of a treasure
That never/was hidden so can/not be found.
The folks you encounter will measure your worth
If the Hoogles are picky the Floogles are worse
They've negative standards and punitive means
And nothing is ever quite not what it seems.
For the faint-hearted fool can be fooled by the wise
And the wise can be fooled by the Ismaron's lies
If the wise and the foolish are one and the same
You'll need to know some of the rules of this game.
You were conceived in a mist and then born in a fog
And kissing a prince(ss) only gets you a frog
The light that you're seeking has never been seen
But it is where you are and it was where you've been.
So if you've the courage and if you've the nouse
And if you've the key to get out of your house
If you're willing to finish what wasn't begun
And to wander at night by the light of the sun
You may well discover the Ismaron's lair
Which could be a fable, and may...not...be there!
Here is another favourite of mine. Originally written for (and inspired by) my friend and mentor, Keith MacFarlane.
It's about the most important thing I learned from Keith, and it was that learning that started me on this path. So with
love from me, and Keith...
Trust Yourself
Trust yourself when your life's in a muddle
Trust yourself when you've broken your heart
Use your mind and your Spirit together
To keep you from falling apart.
You see the world and its workings as ugly
Of yourself you've a negative view
Don't you get any feeling of beauty
Can't you see that it's coming from you.
You're not a fool, or an idiot, or stupid
You don't 'deserve what is coming to you'
You're a human who sometimes gets muddled
You just need to work out what to do
So take your heart, take your mind, take your confidence
Take a happy and positive view
And go forwards and onwards and upwards
To where the world's shining bright - just for you!
