Shine

Is This It?

A poem about growing old. We hope that if we have the privilege of years, we will be afforded the kindness, patience and love of those around us.

Residue

A poem about the thoughts and feelings found in ancient places. Do they hold a memory of all those who have visited through the centuries?

In The Forever (The Neighbourhood of God)

I was inspired after a close friend talked about how perhaps in the end, we all move into the neighbourhood of God. This poem has come out of that conversation. Caroline Bonnett has wrapped up these words with music, that carries us along with comfort and hope.

The Artist

Whatever our belief about the creation of the cosmos, be it the Big Bang theory, Evolution or the existence of a heavenly being; I think we can all agree that this beautiful world is incredible.
As someone who does believe in God I see Him most clearly in the natural wonders of this planet.
A forever evolving creation.

Born Still

The journey of life usually prepares us for the inevitable, that we do not live forever. I cannot imagine the pain that comes with the loss of a child. I believe that children represent our future and therefore to lose a child at birth must be one of the hardest things to endure . All the hopes and dreams, plans and expectations never to be realised. This poem is for those parents whose children live only in their dreams and memories.

Humanity Paused

This poem is a reflection on how COVID has caused us all to pause and take stock of life. What might have to change as we move forward; or will we go back to 'business as usual'?
