feelings from a traveller along life's pathways

About Me

My Photo
Name:
Location: Watford, United Kingdom

I've travelled; I've lived here and there; always searching for something. And yet perhaps the one discovery of recent years has been the realisation that I have a strong clear voice inside. I listen so much to so many voices, some my own - despairing, angry, frustrated, scared. And I want to achieve so much! But what I'd really like is to reach out to you, call you to listen to your voice. And then who knows what might happen in this crazy world of ours. And I'd like to live on in your thoughts. Share what we have and who we are; what else can we do? We all have such strength and beauty and love - we just have to find the courage to show it - and to share it. Because that's where hope comes from. That's how I can face the future.

is the poet a commentator?

What am I to say when the world turns black
Am I to counterpoint the flashes
Light up my words
Even as the night sky flares

Am I to trot out my wit
At each turn of fate
What matters
If I just sit and watch

Are we always to turn to another
To find out what to think
How to feel

Were we not all born
With senses connected
Alive

Do we not smoulder
Ready to burn with our passion
