The Hum

We talk about the hum,
the murmur of the earth, so numb,
this breathing time,
a waking, walking line.
Prisms and rainbows of light,
small echoes just out of sight,
reflections of dew eyes on grass,
vast azure oceans clear as glass,
dust mountains yearn to touch the clouds,
our imaginations out of bounds.
In the silence listen for the hum,
breathe it in, this heady drum-
beat through the striding trees,
velvet whispers on the breeze.
Hi, I live in London, UK, and I have self-published 17 books. I love reading, writing, films, the sea, art and animals. I have published a six-book series about a magical cat called Kiwi, a zombie series, an undersea fantasy, a comedy with a dog as the hero, a funny detective series and five books of poetry. Kiwi and the Serpent of the Isle was a finalist in the Children's Books section of the National Indie Excellence Book Awards 2013. I Dream of Zombies was a finalist in the Horror section of the same competition in 2014.
