To see What we have never seen,
to be what we have never been,
to shed the chrysalis and fly,
depart the earth, kiss the sky,
to be reborn, be someone new:
is this a dream or is it true?
Can our future be cleanly shorn
from a life to which we're born?
Is each of us a creature free -
or trapped at birth by destiny?
Pity those who believe the latter.
Without freedom, nothing matters.

In the real world
as in dreams
nothing is quite
what it seems.

Hi emeraldstar
I hope the following information will be of some help to you…
The Book of Counted Sorrows is false document "quoted" in many Dean R. Koontz books.
For many years Koontz fans everywhere searched for this elusive book. Koontz himself states that he received up to 3000 letters per year inquiring about it. There was a limited signed edition released in 2003, along with the main ebook version. The ebook can be purchased from Barnes and Noble ISBN 1401400221. He includes a history of the poems in the beginning of the book, followed by the poems, some having never been in any of his books.
The following link will give you a few liks to sellers of the ebook:-
*****************
I just found a copy of the book on ebay.
EACH COPY IS HAND SIGNED BY DEAN KOONTZ - It is up for auction at $200,00. (+/- £110,00).
The auction closes in just over five days…
