Inside the Covers of this Book...


A dusty, near- forgotten tome found in some long- neglected nook its paper a fragile parchment crinckled with age... You open the cover, peer as if into a portal- opened, you expect profound truths. Disappointed at first, you read only this - ( though later appreciate the wisdom revealed.) " Seeker, future poet, understand that there is no quick formula to instant englightenment and any creed or dogma can only direct... Read the ancient inspired works the Holy Bible, Torah, Quran and Bhagavad Gita, read the I- Ching, the Diamond Sutra and the classics too, Homer and Shakespeare you'll grow in knowledge but know this- you must forge your own path, uncover your own truths, become your own sage."
