With family and friends in the forest of Gleigh, wee Mister Cumphobiecack chose to decree.... Ostara would be a fantabulous fest to celebrate all of by which they'd been blessed.

Never before has a Glumpet been asked....

It was in the twilight of Christmas Eve, 1867, when Cyrus Fernsby first caught sight of the tapering square towered lighthouse on Wraith Rock from the large rowing boat which was conveying him to, what was intended to be, a short term keeper posting. As it emerged with evermore clarity from within the Atlantic sea mist, and the spray of the crashing waves which embraced it, an inexplicable and undeniable sense of foreboding began to seize and permeate the innermost reaches of his soul.

The Glumpets of Gleigh, happy still as can be, now prepare for the season of Yule. Favours and treats of cakes, puddings, and sweets…will make Mister Cumphobiecack drool. Life’s joys are now his... with his wife, Effie Fizz, and his parents, restored to his side. With friends all around, they still live underground, beneath the oak in their forest... with pride.

This is a small collection of selected poems inspired by my own personal journey of revelation...and awakening. Never forget that the experiences and lessons of every life possess profound relevance and value...whether recognized and understood or not. Love is the only true reality.... All else is merely illusion.
