Soular Souldier

Soular Souldier - 'poems on the road to love' - is a soulful collection of 114 Chay Tana poems from 1970 to 2007. Here's one soulful sample which also appears on the back cover of the paperback, plus a middle verse from the voluptuous title poem:

'In the Garden'

Did you see the garden fair

Where lovers weave songs in the air,

The golden symbol's resting place

The lonely souldier's dream?

We passed through there

And for a brief and happy moment

We found we were that beauty.

Did you see the garden there

Where we first loved

When someone cared?

Some people called it the common

But to me it was Shangri-La.



excerpt from 'Soular Souldier':

...

Somewhere there's a sun rising

And he wants to be there where she is.

Her golden home

There

Then

Reflects her golden glow

Reflects her own horizon

She clasps her heart about the sun

And sings of the soul who needs her:

"Woodsman woodwind piper playing

Wonder where you sleep at night

All alone you wander wildly

Restless heart you carry mildly

Wonder why you smile so loudly

Wonder why no tears are seen." ...
