Synopsis

Some years ago, the Author of this book experienced a supernatural event. This true documented story entwines the death of a U.S.A soldier killed in 1944 with a Canadian soldier killed in 1992. Included in this book are spiritual 'Prose and Poems' which the author feels adds to the supernatural event and the existence of a spirit world. 'InBetween Shadows' will be of interest to readers of all Faiths since it strengthens Belief and helps to convince those who doubt. After all, there is only one universal God, one Truth, no matter which Prophet or Teacher we follow. This fascinating book also includes a bundle of 'That's Life' poems.

THE DREAM

Last night I dreamed I walked a path,
singular and straight,
and at the end I saw a light,
shining white, as only God can make.

And in my dream He was the light,
excellent and just,
and when I heard Him call my name
I lowered my head for I felt my shame.
For I dreamed He loved me with all my faults,
my mind with all its impure thoughts.
I dreamed He loved me for who I am
and for what I'm not,
He loved me as we humble beings cannot.

So as I stood with arms outstretched,
empty of all wordly goods,
I dreamed He loved me without terms
as only He, the Almighty, could.

LAST ROLL CALL

Oh, yes, I know this place well
for I've been here before
stepping over debris
from another blood-spilt war.
For me it's too familiar,
for me the path's too known,
for me it makes no difference
which flag hangs limp, shell-blown.
There are no men commanding,
they lay in blood, dark red,
there is no little drummer boy,
he's lying long since dead.
Oh, yes, I know this battle ground,
oh, yes, I know my way,
that's why I step so easily
between each makeshift grave.
For century after century
I call each side in line,
then the bugler sounds his trumpet
and the drummer boy beats time.
And both sides stand together,
man to man abreast,
the Corporals and the Captains,
the Sergeants and the rest.
Then I march them out of battle
away from blood and pain,
away from shattering fire,
away from greed and gain.
I march them down the valley
in straight and orderly line,
I march them into Glory,
forever out in time.
