Paul Haedo is an author, poet, philosopher, and all-around free spirit, who enjoys the twin joys of writing and reading in his spare time. Paul believes that there is no limit to the number of genres and topics that one can read and write about. An all-around reader and author is something to aspire to according to him, not shy away from.  Such a sentiment is reflected all throughout Paul's total body of work. It is reflected in the many topics that he writes about, in the different arguments that he proposes, and in the worlds that he creates. No matter the topic, or the book, Paul tackles it just the same, with an intense passion for wisdom, and a great desire to see others share in the wisdom and joy of reading and writing.  

Book preview

The Wilderness Beyond

In the savage land, where beasts reign,

And man's domain is fatally maimed,

The fields flow, the forests grow,

The bees hum and perform that special show.

Under the trees, on that cold forest floor,

There lies a paradise, for those who face death's door,

They earned a small reward as their souls rise and soar,

Their only reward, before departing forevermore.

The battle has set the wilderness ablaze,

Never again shall the land taste bliss,

Brutal and cold, is death's kiss.

The wilderness, once the refuge of all man,

Is no longer, the first victim of his hand,

The place where he once found peace,

Is now the only respite, for his pain and decrease.

Therefore, kind soul,

Take heed and focus on your goal,

To rid man of his inner demons,

Before they turn into his most feared legions.

The Lands Beyond

Past the domain of man's tiny might,

In the land where endless moons shine a glorious light,

The great void beckons, her endless expanse unfolds,

She is filled with wonders, a land both young and old.

An incredible galaxy, a majestic nebula,

Are just some of the treasures there, out there on display.

Mighty beings filled with color,

A great cacophony of chorus,

Never will man uncover,

Every last little song.

The distance too great to imagine,

A land where one does not breathe,

Just one quick journey,

Is all that is needed to take your breath away.

Take note reader, the next time you look up high,

And see the twinkle of that little star,

Imagine the song that she sings,

As you look upon, that majestic galaxy.

That Curse Called Love

In heaven's meadow, where the angels sing,

That is where my love for you will live, for all days,

Every moment, every chance I get,

I will think of you, my life's grace.

The stars up high, they twinkle,

So do my eyes, when I think of you,

Every time my life's heart beats,

It beats for you.

I live for you, the first thought every day,

I die for you, the joy that holds me under sway,

All life's obstacles, all of her pain,

I pass them all, I pass
