I'm running a humble half marathon to raise a bit of money and awareness for the essential work of the Brain Tumour Charity. 

And in memory of a smashing kid.

I am the light that soared

I am the light that soared

bursting from nothing into brilliant being!

When the dark sky wraps a thousand dreams

in a blanket of winking stars…

there am I.

I am the brightness in heavenly streams

of consciousness 

I am in each particle that floats

and spins on moonbeams

I am the almost imperceptible warmth

that melts frost-spiked leaves.

The normality of variety

Life in all its random games,

The breadth and depth of thought

The expectation of experience

The journey ahead, around, above and beyond

each path you tread.

I sing exuberantly

in a voice that clears the shadows!

Poised, watching, sure.

I am the answer to silence,

I am the love that will endure.

I am ready, steady GO!

The ebb and flow

Of Hope, Potential.

I was and always will be

Playful, sparkling

Possibility.
