The Prologue to Playing Fields.... Coming soon as a paper book on amazon...

The world is changing ever so rapidly

everything transforming ever so quickly.

Can we keep up with the pace of progress,

veiled in such misery pain and loneliness?

Here we take on some of life’s darker themes

and frame them in sepia - in black ‘n’ white,

some pages seem somewhat harder to read

putting what’s been hidden in plain sight …

For these a courage is required

a gumption to perceive it all,

the poignant darkness all around,

in the big things and the small.

Iridescent colour beams through others,

verses like the sun bedazzling bright,

bringing joy, bliss, solace and peace

filling your being with sheer delight.

And in some like a meditation

we enter into a contemplation,

observing from the page’s safety

the sourness of each travesty

unfolding before our very eyes

beholding of the dark, its size -

at times touched by its rawness

evoking a sense of uneasiness;

at others a glimmer of peace

descends in a sense of ease,

silently shrouded in hope -

even if not knowing the scope

of what is going on right now,

knowing we’ll make it through somehow.

Each poem has a tale to tell.

Please enjoy! I wish you well.
