Preface

A painter’s brush dipped in the endless blue,
washes the sea with ever-changing sunset colours.
At the water's edge, an infinite mirror extends.
In fading light, gentle ripples bend, refract and multiply,
until the reflection is no more reality’s imagine.

A dreamer sinks into the endless blue,
bathed in ever-changing sunset colours.
In Lyra’s Northern Lights, other worlds shimmer in the sky.
In our seas, gentle ripples bend, refract and multiply,
so that we may glimpse our other worlds.
