Scopes of Alliance

By Elma Gabriel-Mayers

Welcome to ‘‘Scopes of Alliance”; a work of openness, tips and bits, elements which aided the writer’s journey of survival, her loss of a parent and brother during the Covid19 pandemic; her consideration to that of the encounters of many relatives, close friends and her community at large. Thousands of others; some whose last connection was that ‘drop off in faith’, that dreadful reality which equalizes a society to seclusion, Surges into a political confusion, a capitalist game controlled by a market trend, managed to the disadvantage of a people in isolation.
Elma’s observation excels within her writings; releases a mixture of encounters– Of inspirational quotes for survival. A realist who admits that to find the real meaning of love you have to look into the eyes of the little ones, that being in-distress is the purity to those innocence; tarnished by the unconscious confusions of The Day.
And so as she prepares the release of her third volume, she brings us closer within her inner circle, by way of poetry, quotes and the opportunity of reading between the lines of her walk through what she terms “my destiny”. She welcomes you with a peek into her passion….. ‘Feel the passion within the book; Her PROSE.................
As through mid-winter I see
The wonders of a summer tree,
Mirrored by rays of the sun ablaze...........
A silent sound a trick at play,
A tinging here a toggle there..............
The sun may dim but not as grimed, so worry not what –Life’s destiny still spins.

Chapter 1

Prologue

There are moments in the chaos of our daily routine that beckon the desire to be able to sit with someone who has lived a full life and hear their perspectives on the past, present and the future. To live vicariously through them, and gain empathy for dealing with the trials of the day, and escape in the hope of tomorrow’s daydreams.

‘Scopes Of Alliance’ takes us on a journey and shows us how the soul grows through life experience. Writing that evokes calmness, transports us to the innocence of childhood, the trepidation of young adulthood and the maturity of a community elder.

In sharing observational journal entries, Elma allows us to become the writer, revisiting their thoughts on an event. Through poems of grief and triumph, we see and hear through her eyes, yet remain the listener. We accept her tutelage, being motivated by the words of inspiration and proverbs that no doubt have proven themselves to be immeasurable in building character and legacy to be proud of.

Chapter 2

Introduction

‘Scopes Of Alliance’ illustrates its message in short chapters of topic, the form much like a journalistic collection of realities, quotes and poetry, came to the forefront though the reminisces of a child, whom from her earliest days may not have recognized the disadvantages of the day; and no doubt a clue to any such thing as a ‘Future’. A word that may have never touched her innocent mental tempest; but of minuscule hope of visions through the rain forest bushes on a little island of her upbringing, that would have impelled glances of that hazy line edging the formation of tint between the ocean and the sky. Her little brain of premature muddles; of vague concerns as a puzzle to what’s ahead, as too her grandmother’s skirt tail on which she innocently clutches was that shelter of assurance. Her little feet trod short-cuts through hills and valleys, river stones, twigs and bushes; listening to grandma’s hellos and small chats here and there, the stories, of introduction to cousins, great aunts and uncles through bloodlines distant and close; but all loved the same.

Today is still that spiritual shield on which she walks. Her having no memory of any maternal fidelity of the first five years on this place called earth, but is empowered through her walk in ‘Destiny’ as she continues her belief in ‘Standing Tall in Echoes of Destiny’; the name of her first book of which ‘Scopes of Alliance’ being her third–which still omits much and yet intrigues those intense to rumor. That to which she warns, let not the obliviousness of our early years; embitter the inner being of our today, in her determination to her walk on this universe.

Chapter 3

Prefix

The truth is that the impacts of the Past

will forever live on....As History is ‘legacy’

and does not fib, but repeats itself.

Becoming a grandmother is like saluting a journey back to the realities of my past, the gratitude to what may well be similar to the encounters of today; a small walk in awareness of the dynamics and struggles of those women and men of my past. Yes the Good, the bad and the evil, myself as a result from those times, the opportunity to emulate either of the various hearts gone ahead. Those taken for granted during our ingenuous days but no sooner ascends as visions within our memories if we are so blessed of those golden scores; ten more if faith permits. In a world infested with love; the truth to affection of which revival lingers but are priceless when ensued coupled with tolerance; on a road to deliverance under a sky of moments adorned through humanity.

How has the world of today deviated so
