New Alpha Rising: Ascension Part I
Description
<p>Countless years ago, measured in thousands, the Gods came first. Monstrous creations were born of their frivolity. Like the Gods, some of the creations were peaceful, others not. Their duty to preserve the earth completed once more, however, the day came that the Gods had to leave earth. Unleashed and with loose regulation, the abominable creations left behind multiplied. In their midst, another conception came to be, and his kind would exist absolutely outside of the God’s purview.<br />Unmated, alone, and untrusting of others, Chatran was charged to go to a place and protect the father of a great child, yet unborn. This duty, however, was unknown to the most cognizant part of Chatran. Only the Beast, who resided within him, knew. As a result, the Beast led Chatran to Walhalla, North Dakota. Although his initial charge was to protect the father he found there, Chatran also gained a mate and Pack. With them, Chatran also found a new way forward, and started on a course that would lead to – New Alpha Rising: Ascension.</p>
Story Behind The Book
The poems in this book spans the course of my life from a naïve young adult to woman who is still learning and growing. I’ve had relationships with God, self, and others that were at times toxic (sometimes my own doing); and exhilarating. Reflecting on my past offers me a chance to look at the whole experience – setbacks and victories – and whole me. I recognized being emotionally, spiritually, and mentally malnourished; and had to stop or else I would die inside. I appreciate and choose not to have any regrets because in the end; I can’t change the past.
Poetry has helped me to reconnect and bridge a gap in my life where common sense falls short. I’m a strong believer that our natural born gifts were given to us to nurture and edify others. Thank you for allowing these poems to make footprints in your present, leading to your brighter future.
