Balmain Contemplations

A friend said writing poetry is part of your healing. My stay in hospital was a long period of isolation and solitude and every day I got up to write with the vista of the city before me, I was engaging with healing of body and mind and as a period this offered me significant reflection and redeemed my style of writing with reflections on nature. So many of the poems were a response to kindness and care of those around me.
