Everything comes and goes,
But the soil.
Time withers everything to dust,
But time itself.
Whimsical melodies,
Reflect ancestral roots,
Beyond ancient hindsights.
We exited before them,
Those who left marks on this earth.
They did not die,
Nor shall we,
In the face of travesty and tragedy.
We will not perish overnight,
Without a plan to replace us.
Billions of years,
Millions of years,
The last species was given.
Thousands, We think in thousands.
How finite of you!

This collection will lay in wait for a good decade or more before publishing. Perfect timing is everything, so is good editing.

Time for some R&R?
Faith in Change Publishing are kicking off with the inspiration left to us by the remembered, by those who stand still in times called Renaissance, Enlightenment, and so on and so forth. Ultimately, we are learning from history while contemplating how best to apply the beautiful lessons that the past has taught us. The Celtic Poetry Project is now also open, with an invitation attached for communities of poets to collaborate towards other powerful themes of poetry and prose, with heritage and identity coming into full focus. For the drifter, the word wanderer who stands alone, you need not, there will be a community anthology project for you too. Writing for change is the mission, one we hope to achieve together, as one United Kingdom.
