Chaos Charms Part 4 - Shock of Breath
(Click to see full size with greater detail)
An excerpt from a book I am working on entitled "Chaos Charms". I finished the Final Draft at the Weekend! Some formatting work before commercial release! - In this piece the earth itself is born - soon to be gifted and burdened with humanity... Other parts of the story are available - https://www.graememcallister.com/t/chaos-charms Shock of Breath Dust coils, crushing heat Sculpt and smooth a globe. Places set, an empty seat. New skies weave stain robes For lonely mountain shoulders. First rains feed bare earth, Wet Sparks, cells smoulder. Alarming shock of breath.
Happy Tomes Tuesday
I've been quiet on this (and pretty much all of Substack) as I've been hard at work on a new book - Chaos Charms. It's a book of poetic art chronicling the creation of universe and consciousness, through to language and civilisation to the ultimate transcendence of the soul. Hoping for a June release - I'm serialising parts of the book in the meantime. I'm really excited about this one and I'd appreciate any feedback.
Other serial writers here on Substack are listed below. Take a look and see what stories are being weaved by these teller of tales:
