Amber Trips the Light Fantastic

 Introduction

Back in 1988, I wrote a piece of children’s literature that I call Amber Trips the Light Fantastic.  It’s a fantasy novel done in the old dream-vision format.  This story is not just for children, but also meant for adults.

The main character Amber is about the age of seven, when children may become aware of the concept of mortality upon losing a beloved pet. 

This book is written for the young adult audience, from the age of 12 and up.  It’s also for adults.

I will publish Amber Trips the Light Fantastic here at Brigits Well in installments.  I reserve all copyrights.

Magical Language of Birds

Magical Language of Birds

He insults and yells.
She tunes him out and learns to hear
The magical language of birds.

He screams, turns red, spittle flies
As she builds walls to shut far from near.

The King of Swords rings bells, death knells.

She learns to see kaleidoscopes in trees
And balances on beams of equinox light.

News comes he’s fallen on his sword
While she’s become adept
In the Mystical Language of Accord.

Summer Rain

 

Summer Rain

Earth tight and dry
Pressure squeeze down low
Been up way high.

Stuff in seeds and frogs that ain’t been
Go movin’ round.

Man and woman be sweaty
And he look at her and gleam. She know.

Big Sky Roar.

Cats be scatter.

Summer
Rain
Pour.

Invocation to the Muse

Invocation to the Muse 

Oh, Goddess of Life
Please smile on us here
Bring us laughter, stories and tears
Enlighten our minds, and please feed our souls
Bring us dancing, chanting and musical tones
Block all the snools and
Free all the fools
To live, love and laugh
And remember the past
Water our flowers
And bring in the crops
Prepare us a feast
And bring on the hops
Mingle and
Tingle-tangle
Till we
Drop.
