2. Prologue
I bring to you in love and light,
My pictures really do connect
A most unusual oracle, But some may leave you blinking,
With art work to enhance your sight
Find the link, and you’ll be correct
And rhymes that are rhetorical. Just try some lateral thinking.
Some meanings clear, but many hidden This oracle is my invitation
You’ll find them most appealing,
And when you just believe,
Thoughts may come to you unbidden It stimulates imagination
And even bring some healing. Of the joy you can receive.
Some verses make an instant bond So if it is the truth you seek
To some you’ll find resistance,
Just hear what I’m suggesting,
Others point to what’s beyond Buy this book as it’s unique
And give your life assistance.
It’s worthwhile you investing.
Some are messages from the Earth
I hope you like my simple rhymes
Or bring a call to action, And know that I am sending,
Many work for our rebirth My love to you, in changing times
Using the law of attraction.
With the hope of a happy ending !
Some criticize the government
I’m not apologetic,
They’re written with the best intent
And may prove quite prophetic.

5. 1. Peace.
If every human worked towards peace
Surely all war would be banished,
The Earth would heal with a sigh of release,
But the greedy would find their world vanished.
Our peace is exchanged for oil and gold,
We exist knowing much fear and strife,
Populations are damaged in ways untold
So the few get a nice cosy life.
Changing the world is a huge objective
So we all need to focus our vision,
By working together our conscious collective
Makes peace the majority decision.
So make sure all thoughts are heart felt and kind
Compassion and love show the way,
To create a new Earth by power of mind,
Could bring peace to our world today.

6. 2. Horoscope
When in life you can’t decide
Or are baffled by technology,
It’s time to get all starry eyed
Try embracing old astrology.
The papers chart each zodiac
But details are evasive,
It takes a while to learn the knack
Skilled readings are persuasive.
Your life is in your birth and sign
With planets all converging,
And when you know the stars’ design
A new world starts emerging.
So in the dark no longer grope
And no more contemplation,
It’s time to get a horoscope
And bring transfiguration.

7. 3. Stay On The Path.
Your life’s a pathway, metaphorically speaking
The clearest route is what you’re seeking,
So use your eyes to stay on the trail
And let your common sense prevail.
Beware of wolves and wizened hags
They’ll bring unhappiness and snags,
And even those with nice behaviour
May be a sinner, not a saviour.
Some people have the darkness within
So look out for their evil grin,
And if you sense an atmosphere
Don’t wait for monsters to appear.
We all have fears we have to face
So choose a path of love and grace,
Believe that you won’t lose your way
Go bravely forward each new day
