    Pieces of 8

    About this ebook

    A leap of faith for an untamed heart
    to transform shadow, through alchemist art
    a sorcerer’s apprentice traveling through time
    head in the clouds, where dreams are mined
    carrying memories of time once spent
    a willful pilgrim, honing tools of ascent
    traversing patterns; the collective mind
    etched in memories from a once upon time
    through vices, virtues, the path to ascend
    to the higher self, knowing souls never end

    Stephen Rogers connects thoughts to thoughts in a debut presentation of eight poems shared in a stream of consciousness style.

    In a poetic spiritual journey that combines the esoteric with the exoteric, he reflects on renewal, transformation, forgiveness, a leap of faith, the light of the one shining through man, good men who tell lies at confession to an insincere priest, an enduring love that befriends a soul, a crippling social disease eaten from the devil’s table, and much more.

    Pieces of 8 shares a collection of eight poems that lead others through one man’s explorations of God, spirituality, and the world around him.
