In this second in a series of published poems, entitled 'Glory Grain of Courage,' the author authentically attempts not only to explain but also admonish to the readers and people of all walks of life that it pays to be courageous while pursuing one's life endeavors; notwithstanding how herculean, tough or insurmountable a task may seem, if one arms oneself with courage while tackling matters at hand; the solution will eventually emerge.

Like a mountain climber, ocean diver, Olympian, and various contestants in outstanding and highly rated events, reflective writers' examination of events, borders Olympic game competitions: right from commencement you may need to take a deep breath, and follow your track to the end.
One thing is however conspicuous and crystal clear, and informs the reason for being advised to be courageous when pursuing the clearest choice of service, or collectively made so that the goal of purpose will be realized, so that when temptations of various forms abound everywhere and at any given circumstances, it is there- fore not to be ruled out that the forces of deception, distraction and discouragement may intervene on the way sown with intent to disrupt and interfere with one's will power. When this happens, quickly recall you owe it to yourself to reach the end of the track. Hold tenaciously to your selected goal, following your path stay focused; abiding resolutely to the plan, never seeking to give up. Your courage will get you there. Always yielding to your inner positive guide as opposed to externally negative voices that gets one to succumb to fears and failures.
Stay the course. Follow your initial instinct: your journey, your dream goal is waiting to be unleashed. Stay undaunted in the event of unfounded confusion. Don't ever give up; keep moving forward; steadily on the course until the objective is fully and completely achieved.
Indeed, you may find that a spine steel of courage acts like a catalyst, a moral booster that enables one to attain. No matter what the gravity of condition that is encountered along the lane of attainment of a goal, there may be some slips and skips, but no fall, in so far as courage is set in place; all will be well in the end.

Keep your neck covered when you meet Mike Reynolds and he lets the vampire out of his new Dark Fantasy / Horror novel for the official launch of 'Hell and the Hunger'. Mike will be talking about and signing his latest book on Sunday, August 24th at 1:00 pm at The Double Eagle Pub in the historic Humphrey Scottish Rite Center, 790 N. Van Buren Street, Milwaukee, WI. 'I'm going to talk a little bit about the book, do a little reading, answer questions, and then I'm going to do some signing,' Reynolds said.
Saturated with horror, 'Hell and the Hunger' is a dark fantasy that manages to keep its feet firmly planted in reality with complex characters that maintain their human element even when skipping across dimensions or challenging the grip of time. Joe is the vampire. There are none like him in the world. He has been walking this earth for tens of thousands of years and each of them weighs on him. If he had the will power he would just stop feeding in the hope that he could actually end his suffering, but he just isn't strong enough. Having lost his love of the hunt, Joe is reduced to combing bars for drunken women to feed on and gaining no joy from his sustenance. Then he meets her.
Evelyn is an enigma. Lacking the emptiness that normally sits behind the eyes of the humans Joe hunts; she intrigues him, challenges him, and disrupts his melancholy routine. She leads him on a journey that leaves him battered, burned, and nearly dead. By the time he recovers - with the aid of an old priest - Evelyn has been taken. Joe will have to battle to the center of Hell and back to save the one thing in this Universe worth living for.
