The visit

An old man declines
this strong man now so fragile
our hug long lasting

Dampness grips the air
sharp showers and prolonged rain
an English autumn

Phantom opera

Nightmare too vivid
heart racing, thorax thumping
light on, reset, calm

- Writing this in the depth of the night to distract myself from the horror of my dreams. Too unsettled to return to sleep.
Happy place

I am transported
to the dunes where insects buzz

Earthshot Prize

A King in waiting
lends his voice to the planet
doing the right thing

The Earthshot Prize looks at solutions to the challenges our planet faces. Five prizes of £1 million are awarded for five years, this being the second year and the award ceremony will be in Singapore.

Wait a while
