The British British Columbian: Who Are The British

Who are the British,

Are we ghosts

Not entirely of this world but not fully in the next one.

We keep riding west, to find the quiet place

To think, to dream

To escape the fiery races which so solid on this earth

Run over and run thru us

From Athens to the Isles, from the Isles to the Pacific, we ride west

Forever chased by tribes so solid that then displace with desire.

And we look away, we follow the sun.

Our eyes ever searching for it’s unsetting hope

Our hearts for ever in love with it’s glory

Lions and Lioness's

Darwin, Shakespeare, Elizabeth Tudor

Elliot, Tolkien, Winston Churchill

Lennon, Lennox, Oscar Wilde

Boadicea, Merlin, King Arthur

So many more, with pen and word our sword and shield

We are ideas,

Thoughts

Whispers

Ghosts

What can you see, on the horizon.

We ride west.

We follow the sun.
