The Dark Place

TD Smith
grew up along the mighty Waikato River
in the North Island of New Zealand.
Among the misty pine lakes she became increasingly
fascinated by the mystical stories of the ‘old people’.

As a child she had nightmares.

The ‘old people’ told her to write them down;
that they might have significant messages.
Some messages are obvious, others obscure;
however ever since,
she now looks forward to her adventurous dreams.
