As one grows, various influences come into play – some more powerful than the others. In my case and as far back as I can remember, I was drawn towards the realm of flight and flying machines.
Later the powerful attraction became more specific – Spitfires, fighter pilots and the Battle of Britain. I wanted to become a hero just like them. This vocation made life easy. I didn’t need to choose a career – it was chosen for me – was this fate?
‘skite
the strings of my kite
tug at my heart
as it struggles
against the wind,
but under my hand,
she weaves and
climbs high
above the trees
and carries my soul
aloft.
