The layout is, eight sections of twenty poems! of content; the poetry ranges in 'tone and tune'. Life is 'two tone' therefore; this book is too. 'Light and dark' shapes are being. My enthesis is upon the light but this is balanced! What follows; is a 'voyage of mind' of 'soul and heart'!

Since young; an injury has been my 'bedmate' and life driver! In the early twenties illness left me in a wheelchair I am, as I pen in this! Now, in my fi fties 'life is lived' in the 'slow-lane' still. Never a 'person of money' - 'rather a worker' defi nes 'who and what' my essence is!
