There is rarely an end to a collection, itself being the action or process of collecting someone or something into a place to be cherished, observed, reviewed and displayed. This is my first intentional collection of poetry, a selection of work that gathers further memories of people, places, events and dreams. This book is about ownership, and the responsibility we have to our own course when sailing even the wildest seas of ageing, it is the duty of responsibility to our younger, hopeful selves who dreamed and willed us to deliver their future but have yet to face the challenges that life will deal us.
