This episode of ‘What The World Needs Now’ was broadcast on Southern FM from 10-11am on Sunday 22nd September 2024.

Fire’s Reflection by Rainer Maria Rilke
Perhaps it’s no more than the fire’s reflection
on some piece of gleaming furniture
that the child remembers so much later
like a revelation.

or other for a promise.
Let’s not forget the music, either,
that soon had hauled him
toward absence complicated
by an overflowing heart….
