Thanks to our wonderful electricity generation utility, South Africa once again finds itself in the midst of rotational power cuts. Here’s a little piece I wrote earlier this year – inspired by the positives from an all-too-familiar situation… … More Powerless
From up here,
the world is calm,
no screaming, fights, or pain.
Just crisp, clean air,
sometimes, the occasional plane.
While you toil and labour,
struggling to find a smile,
I invite you,
dear human,
to join me once in a while. … More Life as a Bird
Unlike the train ride,
many of us don’t remember
that this life is just a short journey
which will inevitably come to an end;
and when our worldly journey eventually ends,
will we be satisfied with how we spent that time? … More Book 2: Train of Thought
I like rooftops,
for they give space to my dreams.
Allow these inner eyes to explore,
and ignite in me the thought
of what could be. … More Let it Flow: Rooftops
A as time brings a new season,
shed the attachments
that no longer serve your growth,
and emerge
more beautiful,
ready to float through life’s currents… … More A Song of Spring
Hey guys!

One of the most gratifying parts of the creative process is when the audience shares genuine feedback on what that particular piece has done for them.
Unfortunately, the plague of the “Like” has robbed many works of getting meaningful comment. It’s far easier for a reader to tap a thumbs up / star, then keep scrolling to the next item in their feed. … More No likes…just genuine feedback
For those who have been here a while, you’ll know that I’ve been working on my book for a number of years – an anthology of what I consider my most meaningful creative pieces (poetry and prose) since I started writing 15-odd years ago.
It’s been quite a journey so far, and after many, many revisions, a lost typographer along the way, and some delving into the world of cover design, I’ve finally completed what I hope will be the final document. … More The birth of a book
Remember the One
Who is always with you,
Who loves for you to ask of Him,
Who listens to your pleas,
Who guides your heart to that which is best for you. … More Remembrance
