a gentle whisper, kindly word to guide and make
the mould within which your soul can grow, and steers thee from strife;
bless--the spirit of life.
no matter what, alone you're not, and ne'er shall be,
the friendly crowd that brings the light with which to see
full nature's bounty that surrounds the way you seek to live
the life once chosen; thy soul to sieve
and mesh the love, the favour, the joy and passion
that warms away the chills, and
breezes away the webs and drifting sand
of time, this genial band
with--the spirit of life.
ever present our watchers,
angels, faeries, loved ones now departed,
seek----the spirit of life within--uisge beatha.....

It would be amazing to have the two poems as beginning and ends of the book. What say you, GeoffC, are you game if Jaxx is game?
