SEEING THE LIGHT
Golden leaves hang by a thread
Filter sun that shines bright and low from a clear blue sky
Autumn dazzles on this glorious morning
And you feel glad to be alive
Here
In this sparkling world
In this shimmering moment
GIVING AWAY OUR FUTURE
We live in a take-away, throw-away society
With fulfilment just a click away
You can even get away
To somewhere far away
And. It. Won’t. Cost. The. Earth
Views from The Edge is available now in paperback.
