From the Mountain to the Waterfall

Come one, come all

Lace up your boots

It’s time for the hike

Side by side

Or single file, if you like

Pack your bag

With new & the old

The familiar, yet unfamiliar

Dress for the cold

Off on the journey, sticks in the ground

The guide leads the way

No map to be found

One foot in front of the other

The sun up ahead

The path unfamiliar

Companions, friends, lovers

Waiting to be led

Once upon a time Andrew Ridgway, who was born in 1973 wanted to be a writer. But life had other ideas, and so for over 21 years he has worked as a theatre nurse.

In his first published book, which collects together his humanistic themed poetry Andrew is processing difficult events in his life. These include recent experiences being re-deployed to his hospital’s intensive care unit during the Covid 19 pandemic.

He is currently working on a second book of poetry based on love and relationships.
