More Poetry

Just to prove I can write poetry other than Fibs, here's a piece that appears at the start of my novel, Eclipse - The Lost Book of Ascension.  Then, to prove I don't write much poetry other than Fibs, I've included some more Fibs from the Pearson Mathematics series.

Eclipse - The Lost Book of Ascension

Picture
When the Mountain becomes the Abyss
And what you breathe becomes what you expel
You will find what is hidden.

When the sun becomes night
And you become what you believe
You will find your heart.

When the Reader becomes the Teller
And the searcher is the one found
You will find the truth.
