    About this ebook

    Short free verse poems exploring a theme of consciousness unravelling from the Matrix of Control.

    The Mist Tree is one of many deep dimensional perceptions of what a spiritual logos can be like. It is an ever-changing form of a Free Being.
    The act of reading poetry takes you deeper into a world of codes, symbols, dreams, and promptings about your own unfolding consciousness. An amusing mystery that does not pretend to solve who we are.
