A Dream of Gerontius
A DREAM OF GERONTIUS
To be like you
To welcome you into my arms
To step within your dream
Oh, Dream, of Gerontius.
I know you question life itself Gerontius
Faith, though, is your cornerstone.
Do not drift into a marble sleep
But see the real me.
Look closer, and you will see me
As I see you
You will know, at that moment,
that I am always with you
Always have been
Always will be...
Let not the babblings and writings
of sacred texts lambast you.
They are no more sacred
than anything written.
Look to Nature.
In Nature, we find life.
Life in perpetuity.
We cannot do any better.
But Gerontius, I counsel this…
Whatever is higher cannot be influenced
nor has any desire to be influenced.

His website, kennwebb.com, showcases his work as a writer, blogger and podcaster, resting on his successive careers as a police officer, progressing to a junior lawyer in succession and trusts as a Fellow of the Institute of Legal Executives, a retired officer with the Royal Air Force Volunteer Reserve, and latterly, for three years, the owner and editor of two lifestyle magazines in Liverpool.
He also just handed over a successful two year chairmanship in Gloucestershire with Cheltenham Regency Probus.
Pandemic aside, he spends his time equally between his city, Liverpool, and the county of his birth, Gloucestershire.
In this fast-paced present age, proof-reading is essential. And this skill also occasionally leads to copy-editing writers’ manuscripts for submission to publishers and also student and post graduate dissertations.
