From the depths of a darkened doorway
I saw you walk by, old friend
no doubt on your way to a place
where the flowers grew fresh
where the sun was young
and the stars were new.

From the depths of a darkened doorway
I held out a beseeching hand 
needing no more than that
which would feed me for awhile
or mere conversation,
a minute of your time spared
In your doubtlessly busy day.

From the depths of my darkened doorway
I watched you pass by, 
my presence not even registering
and in that moment of death, I saw you
surrounded by life and joy
and, as I departed this world,
you passed me by, like always.

Outside a darkened doorway,
you did not even stop, old friend
loaded down with your gifts,
your luck and your life,
as you made your way through 
the winters snow and boundless throng
back to your loving family, 
to that place you call 

home.

Good evening world. This post is being written at midnight, with the aid of several caffeine-based products.

What is Dagda Publishing? Well, simply put it’s an outlet for new poets and writers to gain some recognition and exposure on the world-wide-web (at the moment at least). There is one editor on here, he is also the owner, dogsbody, tea maid, buyer of cheese and all other related things.

You could call this an experiment, as it’s aim is to build up a publishing company from the ground-up, through stages of growth and good times. Everything has to start from somewhere, right? Basically, as this site and the ideas grow and mature, there shall be news of what is going on with our little area of the literary world. With a bit of luck and graft, Dagda will become a full-fledged publishing house. But time shall tell…

For now, a good strong cup of tea is needed. Keep an eye on the site for our first featured writers (who will be appearing soon)
