""Well, here we are. I initially thought that I would have used a lot of my previously written song lyrics to fill the majority of the content of this book, but I found myself dissatisfied with nearly all of them, bar one, which did make it in, though I'm not saying which it is, but please feel free to guess. The title was the first thing I came up with, I felt it gave me free reign to go with and explore any idea that came to mind, which was a great psychological help, and the main idea was to put pen to paper about events and experiences that have stayed with me, that play on the mind, although I deviate from this every so often with the odd Zen poem or thematic piece, just for a change of pace. There's even a bit of a nonsense poem in there. I tried to space out the darker poems, and mix up the genres/rhyming schemes, sometimes even within the same poem, and as such, the whole book is all over the place, a bit of a patchwork, a bit chaotic, a bit like myself. So please, read on and enjoy one mans struggle with life, love and destiny, and thank you for your consideration and time.""

Excerpt from Musings Memories, Vol. 3: A Third Volume of Collected Verses Ere while the mist-wreaths floated by, And frowned above the sullen sky. The winds were out o'er dale and down, All sombre slept the forests brown, While angry brooklets sought the plains, Swollen and dark with winter-rains.
