Pieces of 8 (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9781665732116)

A leap of faith for an untamed heart
to transform shadow, through alchemist art
a sorcerer's apprentice traveling through time
head in the clouds, where dreams are mined
carrying memories of time once spent
a willful pilgrim, honing tools of ascent
traversing patterns; the collective mind
etched in memories from a once upon time
through vices, virtues, the path to ascend
to the higher self, knowing souls never end

Stephen Rogers connects thoughts to thoughts in a debut presentation of eight poems shared in a stream of consciousness style.

In a poetic spiritual journey that combines the esoteric with the exoteric, he reflects on renewal, transformation, forgiveness, a leap of faith, the light of the one shining through man, good men who tell lies at confession to an insincere priest, an enduring love that befriends a soul, a crippling social disease eaten from the devil's table, and much more.

Pieces of 8 shares a collection of eight poems that lead others through one man's explorations of God, spirituality, and the world around him.
