pause for a poem

A quiet pocket in your day.
Each episode, a single poem - spoken with care.
Some are old favourites. Some, my own.
All are offered as invitations to pause…
to feel, to breathe, to remember the beauty of being alive.Let the wonder of words find you - whether you’re walking the dog, sipping your morning tea or in between the noise.
Because sometimes, a single poem is all it takes to shift the whole sky.
