PATHWAY TO THE SUN
by
Elvira Nonchalance
A romance across the ages.
If Reincarnation is your 'thing'
This love-story is for you.
*
Remember how Icarus flew too close to the sun?
Recall how he plunged into the sea and drowned?
He reincarnated as Charlie Smith
From Lesser Ploddington
*
Very few people know this.
*
And it is as Charlie that he falls in love with Isadora Finchly.
*
So great is their passion
That the Benign Influence
Grants them a dispensation.
They may go back in time.
Or they may go forward in time.
Together.
*
Experience with them the drama of decision.
Which era will they choose?
Read about the battle for Isadora's eternal spirit!
Learn about Malignio, the Evil Wanderer,
Who disguises himself as an Icarus look-alike
And hovers with intent.
*
With Isadora, stand on the sun-drenched beach,
Is this farewell?
Who will live?
Who will die?
Where are they now?
*
The Reincarnation Review: "Surely Elvira Nonchalance is the reincarnation of Tolstoy;
otherwise how could she write so well?" Ann Jones (Boadicea wot was).

PAUSE
What is this life if, full of flaws,
We have no time to stand and pause?
To let the water cascade down
Obliterating every frown?
To stand beneath the drenching spray
Which washes care and hurt away?
The leap from bed to face a life
That's full of worry, full of strife,
Is over, but what lies before
Is a life of work, a daily war!
But, just for now, you are washed clean,
As though your tension's never been.
Close your eyes, and take this time
To banish more than dirt and grime.
Let the water cleanse your mind;
Leaving clarity behind.
What is this life if, full of flaws,
We have no time to stand and pause?
