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.

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.
