About this ebook
The Far Traveler's Log
The series of books called the Far Traveler's Log is a collection of poems presented in three books: The Epistles of Kurata, The Touch of Love, and Progressions of Power. The Epistles tell the story of a seeker as he awakens from Sleep. The Touch of Love explores the verdant landscape of the variations of love. Progressions of Power is a fictional story of the challenges our hero Kurata overcomes in the quest for Power.

Hi, I wrote a majority of my poems/books while going through a spiritual awakening, hence most of the subject matter has to do with love, spirit, energy, and learning to live in a new world. I currenlty work as a programmer by day and do healing work when the opportunity comes up.

The Touch of Love - David Michael Hoskins
Introduction
Glory to you, Far Traveler ~ and Life everlasting!
The following is a collection of poems having to do with all the various shades of love I’ve encountered so far in this journey we call life. Over time my appreciation and experience of love has deepened and I’ve written as I’ve gone along. There is a Love with a capital L
that is available to us and it is beyond human but not beyond appreciation. Many of the poems touch upon this Love and our relationship with it. I chose to focus my Love on the archetype – the Goddess – for every woman I’ve known has the Goddess within her to different degrees – all tempered by their attitude towards life.
I’ve come to appreciate that each person who reads my writings can and most likely will have a different interpretation of what a poem means. In the back of the book I have included a glossary of sorts. The glossary gives a short comment about the meaning or motivation for each poem. Some of the poems have a mystical direction to them, so if one or two don’t make sense try thinking in terms of angels and who they associate with. If you like your interpretation better, run with it. It is my hope that my writings will touch your heart and cause your soul to stir.
Love to all,
David

Let us dance - as yet at a distance
Two stars yearning
Internal - eternal fires burning bright
Exchanging streamers of caressing light
Feeding the hunger of dreamers
Illuminating this dark night
Oh, that the cloud which is I
Might coalesce before her - taking form
Kneeling knight
Eagle in flight
Oh-so-hungry lion
Innocent child of light
Grinning jester
Cautious tester of the waters
Daughter of light
Honest and open
Gossamer robe slips from tender shoulder
As she reaches out to touch
Yea and the lion’s eyes glitter with delight

ON A WESTERLY
Love comes tenderly
Like butterflies on a westerly
Breeze - she comes easily
Caressing thy skin
In the midst of the whirlwind
Laughing and free of stain
Love kisses thy lips to silence
No need to explain
My lover
My life
No need to explain
Shuddering limbs
Thundering
