Voidian Poetry Volume 57

This collection is dedicated to Nature, whose presence surrounds us even when we fail to notice Her. We live in a world of astonishing beauty, yet many move through it without truly seeing the landscapes, rhythms, and quiet miracles that unfold around them each day. Nature is not merely scenery; She is a teacher, a guide, and a reminder of the deeper harmony we often forget in the rush of modern life. When we learn to respect Her, our own lives begin to settle into a more balanced and peaceful rhythm.These poems were written out of the joy and calm I find in the natural world. Each piece reflects one of Her shifting moods - the gentleness of dawn, the wildness of storms, the patience of forests, the quiet endurance of mountains. Through these words, I hope to encourage you to look again at Mother Nature in all Her majesty, and to recognise how fortunate we are to share a world so vibrant, so intricate, and so alive.Yet even in Her strength, Nature is becoming increasingly fragile. The world we depend on is under strain, and Her warnings grow louder each year. These poems are also a reminder to treat Her with care, to honour Her wherever She reveals Herself - in the wind that moves through the trees, in the rivers that carve their way through stone, in the stars that burn above us. Her eyes shine in those distant lights, and Her heart is the very earth beneath our feet. She continues to nurture us, even when we forget to nurture Her in return.This volume invites you to pause, reflect, and wander freely through the landscapes these poems evoke. Let them offer you moments of stillness, clarity, and quiet appreciation. Let them remind you of the connection we all share with the world that sustains us.May these poems bring you peace.May they deepen your sense of wonder.And may your journey through Nature - both in these pages and beyond them - help you grow in wisdom and walk more gently upon the earth. David is a myth‑maker and philosophical storyteller whose work moves fluidly between darkly reflective fiction, disciplined poetic cycles, and lighter, whimsical tales for younger readers. His novels explore the hidden machinery of human nature, while his satire and children's stories reveal a playful intelligence that delights in pattern, logic, and gentle mischief.Drawing on Eastern and Western mystical traditions, as well as a lifelong fascination with the occult and the unseen forces that shape perception, he writes with a blend of clarity, curiosity, and quiet intensity. Whether he is crafting mythic narratives, thought‑provoking satire, or imaginative stories for children, his work shares a single thread: a search for meaning beneath the surface of things.He writes from the northeast coast of England, cultivating a deliberate, solitary life that supports a daily practice of creation, reflection, and the steady expansion of his growing universe of books.
