Preserving the Flame by Andrew Wilson

 



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.
