Conscience

Swathes of Glory

Working through the emotions

Relocating several times

To leave the past far behind

Only to have reminders

Thrust upon him without ending

By those who will not forget

Jealousy knows no bounds

In the hands of a bitter soul

Yet still

Onward and upward

Over the mountains of disbelief

To rise above the naysayers

Above the angry words

To rise and stay above

The clouds of doom

Wrung from the hands

Of those who show no mercy

To know the peaceful sunshine

Of a clear conscience

Animal Instincts

If you had to be an animal for a week, which one would you be and why?

Peregrine Falcon

I’ve always loved white tigers ever since I saw them at Bristol Zoo on a school trip. But that’s not what I’d want to be.

Red Kite

I think that of all the animals, I would have to opt for either a red kite, or a peregrine falcon. Such majestic birds.

And maybe then I’d overcome my reluctance to fly!
