Life’s Like That

“Life’s like that…

“Love must die for a reason.”

When faced with life’s choices it’s good to have an open mind and treat every move that you make as important to your future happiness and well-being.

I find that it’s better to take one step forward and two steps back, because a good solid defence is better than attack!

Is an attempt on my part to give an insight into a broad spectrum of feelings shared by us all and in particular how we feel about Life and Death.

Love is a common thread and permeates my work like the smell of incense in a Church elevating the senses, or a searchlight looking for life in the aftermath of an avalanche.

Such is the power and the meaning of words when used provocatively in poetry to give life to complex emotions and feelings.

Brent James was educated in Sydney, Australia in an opportunity class for talented children and loved it. He then moved back to the UK to attend grammar school and university, studying biochemistry. Brent has a technical bias, enjoying all things relevant to understanding the way the world works, and he also has a love of poetry, art and the written word.

Brent’s favourite phrase, which he has coined himself, is:

“There is no power on Earth greater than that which can grind mountains into dust.”

Brent is a fun-loving, forthright believer in the philosophy that you should always treat others as you wish to be treated yourself and he is also passionate about using his creative talents to the best of his ability.
