What Daedalus Saw

A long sleep that smelled of death;
that’s how it felt in the cave-dark,
in the sealed-up maze.

Voices called to us through tubes;
a torment of fragments
and a few sweet whispers that melted
into the dank of dream.

Then the light came,
the wings to the world
and we went up into the sun,
the pieces of our lives remade
in rivulets of wax.

A version of this poem appeared in my debut collection, Turning (Headland, 2011)

I'm a creative coach helping passionate and ethical business owners to create sustainable businesses geared for a healthy work life balance and helping to break through blocks and regain or maintain focus. I use creativity as a key problem solving tool and motivator.

As an artist is create inspirational works of art for private and corporate clients, from full size wall graphics and installations for offices, conference areas and receptions, to cafe's and restaurants to health and wellbeing centres. Any wall or space can be transformed with large scale art, which is a key motivator for staff and can reduce work related stress. I also accept private commissions for paintings, sketches and illustrations.

As a published poet I write about the joys of nature and the human devastation of it. I also write poems for brands and businesses to engage their audiences in new and more thought provoking ways.
