Preserving the Flame…
Take the smile exchanged
on the way to work
wrap it in a leaf
carry it with you
throughout the day until
you need warmth, then
blow it into glowing life
fire up some tinder from your heart
- fuel gathered from your dreams
all the while remembering
the smile exchanged
on the way to work.

Andrew Wilson still works part-time as a factory manager in Bradford, West Yorkshire, and when not working, writes for pleasure. He has been a signwriter, painter, architectural draughtsman, as well as a restaurateur and other food management roles. Working in many roles is a source of inspiration, and as an early adopter of reinvention every few years, his philosophy is use it or lose it.
If we could wrap so many things in leaves…they’d probably be better off, too.
