While The World Sleeps Poem by Patricia Sampson

In the midst of what we are facing with coronavirus I have been watching the movement of the wildlife in the (park)gardens through my window. What I noticed was a change in behaviour of these creatures and how the flora and fauna has flourished without the intervention of us human beings. I founded and now chair a charity that have for the past 3 years worked with both the Borough Council and the local police to transform these historical sheduled gardens (Southchurch Hall Gardens)from a no go area to one that is inviting to both people and wildlife. We have a special interest in our invironment so with the assistance of Jason Alexander I was inspired to write this poem
