Today I welcome poet, visual artist and filmaker, Browzan, to reflect on a poem from his debut collection, Quest for Ions...

…What is happiness? Hitchock describes it just about as profoundly as one can: ‘a clear horizon’.

Peace, the second poem in the collection, is my ‘clear horizon’.

This poem emerged, like a soft dream. Laying these words down on paper was a very soothing experience. One, I wanted the reader to share.

Though many great works catapult from the nadir of chaos, stirring one’s soul anti-clockwise isn’t always the best way to go. In this poem, I allowed a tide of inspiration to wash over me. What remains are words, ordered on a page, like footsteps on a sandy beach.

Next week read my review of Quest for Ions.
