Around the earth’s curve in silence

As frozen husks

The faint chatter of their masters  

Fades into static  

~

Metal legions turn above

How they clash and they burst asunder  

Into glittering storms of dust

~

Driven out into the heavens

By the reveries of kings

Now they’ve broken their gaze

With the cluttered night sky

~

Their ghostly beacons

Slash into the circling void  

Giving back every rock

Every mineral that was stolen

‘While some are frightened by the howling wind on the darkest of nights, others find peace of mind and guidance in its mournful melody. Acts of nature can fill our hearts with terror, but can also inspire us and lead us to the truths we have sought for most of our lives. In the pages of this book, you will join a young man on his journey through nature and the unknown, as he makes his way home. You will join him in being swept along through great expanses of beauty and devastation, as he wrestles with grief and pieces together the stray fragments of a shattered world.’
