The Thing With Feathers on Instagram
Oh night with no moonlight
just scars left by stars
that burnt out long ago
tracing my veins like chalk
dust brushing black board
fading away
as if what were once permanent
is now just a memory lost in the wind. 💭 #poetry #spokenword #poetsofinstagram #poetrycommunity #poemsofinstagram #poem #london #londonpoem #londonpoetry #essexpoetry #creativewriting (3/3)
Connection is what we all seek
human connection
with people who love us
as we love them
serving our inner cry to be known
and I asked the trees that whistled
but remained unseen
where are you
now I am outcast and without shelter 💭 #poetry #spokenword #poetsofinstagram #poetrycommunity #poemsofinstagram #poem #london #londonpoem #londonpoetry #essexpoetry #creativewriting (2/3)
Docklands tower blocks with beaming lights
rose around me
false lighthouses in the black night
my heart got smashed on the rocks.
Human certainty,
no certainty at all
and I am left alone and scared
on the dark side of the moon. 💭 #poetry #spokenword #poetsofinstagram #poetrycommunity #poemsofinstagram #poem #london #londonpoem #londonpoetry #essexpoetry #creativewriting (1/3)

10 Reasons I ❤️ the ocean 🌊
1️⃣ The ocean takes all, forgives all, forgets all. The #poet in me simply loves what a great equaliser the seas are. When I am sad I will often head down to the local coast and let my cares wash away with the tide.
2️⃣ You can sail on it! Nothing is better than spending a day letting the wind carry you with only the sound of the waves.
3️⃣ 50-80% of all life on earth is found under the ocean surface. Why such a vague figure? Because we have only just begun to grasp its beauty!

10 Reasons I ❤️ the ocean 🌊
4️⃣ The ocean plays an important role in regulating our planet's weather and climate. It absorbs, stores and slowly releases large quantities of heat reaching us from the sun. (UNDP, 2019)
5️⃣ Over 70% of our world is water - we are the #BluePlanet - yet we know more about space than our seas.
6️⃣ It gives us fresh water to drink. Through the cycle of evaporation, the ocean regulates our fresh water supply.

10 Reasons I ❤️ the ocean 🌊
7️⃣ It provides us with the very air we breathe and is just as important as trees. Small marine plants like phytoplankton produce oxygen that enters our atmosphere.
8️⃣ It shapes and it inspires cultures. Whether it be growing up on tales of fishing in my home area (#leighonsea still holds a yearly folk festival) or whether it be the legends and myths I have learnt about as I have travelled - the oceans inspire!
9️⃣ It is home to a wonderfully array of life! I grew up working at Sealife Centres and then at a big aquarium in Hull. The sea is amazing and the #biodiversity of the oceans is astounding. 🔟 From fishing, to shipping, to tourism - the ocean and its vast ecosystem provides an income for every tenth person in the world (UNDP, 2019). #oceans #lovetheoceans #oceanhabitats #ilovetheocean #lovetheseas #oceanelders #oceanlife #marinelife #marinebiodiversity #protectourseas #protectouroceans #loveourworld #oneworld #oneplanet #climatechange #naturalworld #ecowarrior
#sdg16 - Peace, justice and strong institutions. 🕊 The threats of international homicide, violence against children, human trafficking and sexual violence are important to address to promote peaceful and inclusive societies for sustainable development. 🕊 I was delighted to visit the work of @allwecanuk with Rohingya women and girls. I saw first-hand the importance of this goal. We need systems that protect and a world with access to justice for all. ❤️ #globalgoals #sdgs #peace #peacejusticeandstronginstitutions #justiceforall #accesstojustice #a2j #rohingya #peacebuilders
This ends my little mini-series of posts on the #sdgs. I encourage you all to find out more and unite behind the goals. @endpoverty30 do a great resource for churches and Christian groups to use to engage more with the goals, @togetherbandofficial help you pick a goal personal to you and amplify the message further, @una_uk are doing great work to promote multilateralism and the goals in the UK, @globalpeoplesummit help you have a voice in the global conversation and provide a wonderful source of inspiration and I am proud to work for @theelders_org where independent world leaders are striving for a world that is more just and fair and more liveable for all. #globalgoals #unitebehindthesdgs #sdgs #oneworld #togetherwearestronger #togetherwearebetter #globalcitizen
#SDG17 - Revitalise the global partnership for sustainable development 💕 It takes all of us. We need NGOs, businesses, global north and global south, civil society, world leaders, village leaders, workers, old, young and everyone in between. #togetherwerise #globalgoals #togetherisbetter #oneworld #sdgs #endpoverty2030 📷 Taken in #India with a sustainable farming trainees group - work that was part funded by NGOs and part funded by local government. The farmers could then go back to their villages and share their skills ❤️
