    About this ebook

    I cannot add or take away any poems
    from this my collection. I feel that it would upset the
    balance that I have created.
    I have been writing these poems over
    the last thirty five years.


    I hope that when reading my
    poems they will take you into your deepest
    imagination and are held within your thoughts
    long after you have read them
    as indeed they have done so for me.
