Hesper's Wizard

With the emerald Dragonsight of Hesper

Fierce Nyber surveys the land

Over swaying fields of poppies blood red

And a deep blue lake ringed in silver sand.

Over mossy, ancient fir trees

Whose gnarled roots house gentle Gnomes

Over a magic singing stream

Where fair Water Fairies keep secret homes.

All is well in the emerald forest land

Watchful Nyber’s eyes shine glee

For no human has crossed the boundary land

As far as young, proud Nyber can see.

Hesper’s Wizard is a mythic tale designed to help people transcend the two-camp continuum of “them” and “us” that always dominates bigotry, intolerance, and conflict. It focuses on the power of “Right action” and embraces the idea of acceptance and hope when faced with adversity. Written in quatrains, it is a tale for campfires, gatherings, and outdoor adventures.
