It was wanderlust that provoked him

Guided by a constellation under a crystalline night sky

Fearless in his uncertainty about where he will sleep

He lays his weary body down on the raw Earth

Beneath the heavenly finery of celestial skies

Using this as his blanket he begins to drop off to sleep

Morning delivers herself with a clean fresh sting

Upon awaking he is bestowed by her beauty

Pupils dilated he fills the well of his soul

Full of elation and lost in a state of reverie

He continues on with his journey

But where to nobody knows

Bio – Lisa O’ Mahony

I am a novice writer. I did the Artist’s way recently and started painting and writing poetry. I live in a small town by the sea called Balbriggan in Co Dublin Ireland. When I was younger, I use to write song, but unfortunately stopped. It wasn’t until much later on in life, and with much regret for not continuing to write, that a good friend introduced me to the artists way. Since this day forth, I have began to paint and write again. I am currently writing a short dark fictional novel titled Enabler. I have recently finished academic studies with a masters degree in social science (Human Rights and Social Policy).
