This is the last episode of the season one, and as we are heading into a long winter of uncertainty I decided that the last poem of the season should be one of hope and consolation. So this week I will look at the poem Everything is going to be alright, by the recently deceased Derek Mahon. This poem is reached a global audience online during the early days of the pandemic's outbreak when Andrew Scott read it. 

As a final treat, I will also read to you my latest poem, This too shall pass, which was inspired by this poem and the ancient Arabian proverb which hinted at the transient nature of life, but in this poem, its application is narrowed down to days of suffering. I hope you enjoy it.

I hope you enjoyed listening to my podcast and reading these poems, I will be back in January with season 2. Until then, I hope you all keep safe and well, and whatever good comes your way, may you enjoy it to the full. Don't forget to read more poetry though.
