A lot has happened since pen first

touched paper,

The evening I was inspired by a

programme about a poet with the surname of

Thomas:

And music that made me want to lie in

a field and gaze at clouds on a

Summer’s Day.

But, looking back through the mountains

and valleys of this journey,

It's been worth it to stand where I do now;

To acknowledge and to give

deep thanks

This story is posted elsewhere by the author. Help them out by reading the authentic version.

For the help and support that has been

there through it all:

To Christel for asking me about my poems,

To EQ Transcription Services for typing out my longhand;

To Joe for also asking me about my poems;

To Fabienne who lights up Instagram with her love of that

rich, radiant and calming colour known as Blue;

To everyone who has read this far and wishes

to journey further:

Thank you.

The verse has opened and it doesn't

want to stop :)
