The World Smiles Back

Was drowning neath the sea of small concerns,
fixated on the fears that weighed me down,
ignoring every lifebuoy thrown to me.

Iโ€™m not quite sure what happened in between
(perhaps it was the moon as people say),
but something caused reversal of the tides,

for here, instead of strain, short bitten nails,
suspicion such a world would suss me out,
I shine before reluctance has a chance

and everything seems new and brash and brave
and everything runs crude and coarse and free,
but nothing shall dissuade me now. Youโ€™ll see.

Somewhere, beneath Orion gazing proud,
where mermaids sing and pirates rule the waves,
you smile upon the world, the world smiles back.

The 2nd early review for upcoming new fantasy novel The Honeymaker's Daughter is in:

"It kept me gripped, guessing and wondering all the way through. Pick up a copy of this excellent book. It's more than worth a read - it's a must-read." (Frederick K, author of The Enchanted School)
