The very word itself is inspiring; it conjures up in my mind a world of infinite wonders that I can only marvel at.  Wonders that my head remind me that nature does not revolve around me, but around a vast universe of possibility.  For whether I acknowledge it or not, Mother Nature and all her diverse energies will continue to exist long after I have evaporated into the sand of earthly time.  She will continue to vibrate at her own frequency ever evolving and enhancing her beauty until she metamorphosis into the star she is meant to be.

The poems and writings on this site and within my books are purposely simple and are meant as building blocks to deeper thoughts (yours not mine).  They are reminders of things that in time have been overlooked or forgotten.

Please accept these little ramblings as signposts to the world you might have left behind in the innocence of yesterday

Counting Backwards P.O.M. September

I’ve started counting backwards

To see where I began

But if I look too closely

I won’t know who I am

It seems a contradiction

To find and lose myself

But somewhere in my past

I accumulated wealth

Not the wealth of money

Or properties galore

But things saved in my energy

Where all my pasts are stored

For my soul has lived forever

At least that’s how it seems

And only now and then

I remember in my dreams

Then I wake and just forget them

Those things that I’ve been told

So I’ve started counting backwards

Before this body’s cold

If I Had Wisdom

If I had wisdom what would I say
That the world was meant to be this way
Because I know without recourse
As we wander on as if by force
Towards a day when we will see
The light of true eternity
And all that’s gone will then re-mend
As from our home in heaven we send
The gift of a lifetime’s love

Masquerade 10.09.2025.

You look but do not see it This masquerade called life You think you’re in the moment But really that’s not right You’re far too busy planning Some future that may be And miss the life around you The one that you should see But the pixels in each second Are dense...

Invisible Friend 03.09.2025.

A teardrop masks the evening sky For at days close we say goodbye All my toys are put away I’ll bring them out another day I’m off to bed and slumbers sweet Where Angels care again I’ll greet But what of you I leave behind The loyalist friend I’ll ever find Though...

The Perfect Lie 27.08.2025.

No two people see things the same way there is always a slight difference because we are all unique. The Perfect Lie A procession of faces now come into view Each with a story to speak as if true Which one is lying I really can’t tell Maybe the truth is not easy to...

    I always find your poems so refreshing and indeed relaxing. When life becomes a whirl and gets too fast to cope with I just ‘fix’ myself by reading what you bring forward. Indeed a great tonic for me. Thank you Phil x

I have a firm belief in angels and feel them around me all of the time, especially when I need an extra bit of help in making decisions

Also, as I get older, I have a much better appreciation of the beauty of Mother Nature and enjoy nothing more than to sit in my garden and let her overwhelm me with her many gifts

The poems and writings on this website are reflections of my thoughts on various subjects, as they wander through my mind
