SHADOWS OF A SILENT CLOUD

What can you do when thoughts keep buzzing around in your head at that loneliest time, the small hours of the morning, driving sleep away? Pin them down, give them form, write a poem. Much of Paul J Hurrell's evocative poetry was born as a result of sleepless nights, reminding us that just because someone makes the effort to keep going, putting the best possible face on circumstances, their life is not always as it appears. An illuminating insight that could have relevance for us all.
