May the mirrors of the world shine brightly
and the reflection shows your friends your true worth.
May the obstacles across your path fade to nothing
and your distractors find deep holes in the earth.
May each day be your own new renaissance
and your good sense grows stronger as you age
May your heart be as strong as you need it
ever choosing what to confine to each page.
And lastly—
May you see each and every person ever clearly
and not just what they appear to be
May you be ever wise in your selection,
as a real friend comes without the need of any fee!

About Daniel Kemp
Daniel Kemp is a member of The Society of Authors. His introduction to the world of espionage and mystery happened at an early age when his father was employed by the War Office in Whitehall, London, at the end of WWII. However, it wasn’t until after his father died that he showed any interest in anything other than himself!
On leaving academia he took on many roles in his working life: a London police officer, mini-cab business owner, pub tenant and licensed London taxi driver, but never did he plan to become a writer. Nevertheless, after a road traffic accident left him suffering from PTSD and effectively—out of paid work for four years, he wrote and self-published his first novel —The Desolate Garden. Within three months of publication, that book was under a paid option to become a $30 million film. The option lasted for five years until distribution became an insurmountable problem for the production company.
All ten of his novels are now published by CNext Chapter with the tenth novel being a two-part ending to the Heirs and Descendants Series. A Covenant of Spies completed the four-book series alongside: What Happened In Vienna, Jack? Once I Was A Soldier and A Widow's Son.
Under the Creativia publishing banner, The Desolate Garden went on to become a bestselling novel in World and Russian Literature in 2017. The following year, in May 2018, his book What Happened In Vienna, Jack? was a number-one bestseller on four separate Amazon sites: America, the UK, Canada, and Australia.
Although it's true to say that he mainly concentrates on what he knows most about; murders laced by the mystery involving spies, his diverse experience of life shows in the two novellas he wrote, namely: Why? A Complicated Love, and the intriguing story titled--The Story That Had No Beginning.
He is the recipient of rave reviews from a prestigious Manhattan publication and described as—the new Graham Green—by a highly placed employee of Waterstones Books, for whom he did a countrywide tour of book signing events. He has also appeared on 'live' television in the UK publicising his first novel.
There is no morality to be found in evil. But to recognise that which is truly evil one must forget the rules of morality.

HI Danny, I love this poem. My favourite lines are these: May the mirrors of the world shine brightly
and the reflection shows your friends your true worth. There is something wonderful about this word image.
That’s very kind of you. I never know where the words come from. I once said how I think they float in the air waiting to find a receptive mind where they can land and work their magic. Yesterday my mind must have been open. 😛
My poetry is like this too, Danny. It just comes, more or less fully formed.
Usually, my mind is full of nonsense and there’s no room for anything else.
