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
Peel Castle – Isle Of Man P.O.M. May
Peel Castle I.O.M.
I know you are watching
But I wish you were here
To bathe in your light
That I once held so dear
Now just a memory from out of my past
Moments in time that just did not last
Adventures in living that won’t come again
With just your odd photo caught up in a frame
Not even in colour but just black and white
Still its better than nothing and a wonderful sight
A constant reminder of just what has been
Three brothers in life that lived out their dreams
Some went by the way side and some really came true
Now just a history of me and of you
The gift of your presence
I’ll always hold dear
Though every so often it might bring a tear
As I march towards my future
The River’s Source, Silent Angel & Speak Your Mind
After todays update the next update will be on the 28th May
The River’s Source
We found the rivers source
Where it wept out in the sun
To think we’d found the place
Where its life had just begun
The start of something special
The flow of life itself
A fissure in the rock face
Regurgitating wealth
We looked beyond its birthplace
To the valley far below
And saw its many comrades
Just adding to the flow
Until out in the distance
Its girth and depth did swell
While rushing to the ocean
Its journey for to tell
Perhaps she’ll say she met us
When talking to the waves
That simple little trickle
Whose source we’ve found today
SILENT ANGELS
THOSE SILENT ANGELS
THAT STAND AND STARE
TO WATCH US WRESTLE
WITH ALL OUR CARES
THEY ONLY NEED
FOR US TO ASK
THEN THEY WILL HELP
WITH ALL OUR TASKS
AND IF BY CHANCE
WE HAVE TO LEARN
THEY’LL STAND ASIDE
AND SHOW CONCERN
THEY’LL DRY OUR EYES
FROM ALL OUR TEARS
THEN GUARD US FROM
OUR HIDDEN FEARS
AND WHAT’S THE PRICE
WE HAVE TO PAY
TO RECEIVE THESE GIFTS
EVERY SINGLE DAY
IT’S JUST A SIMPLE
THANK YOU
Speak Your Mind
Please tell me why you whisper
Why not speak right out loud
For you have a voice of vision
That not a thought should cloud
We cannot tell your story
Unless you speak the words
About your hopes for a future
No matter how absurd
For whose to say you’re silly
You might make perfect sense
And the world in all its glory
Could be completely dense.
For fools they seldom differ
And great minds think alike
But the voice that starts as a whisper
One day could prove just right.

The Footprint From Each Human 14.05.2025.
The footprints from each human is left upon the sand Surely they've forgotten that the oceans in command She sees their tiny footprints and treats them with contempt As she sends out all her wavelets until their tracks relent Her sands again are pristine just like the...
Tai Chi & Fleeting Moments 07.05.2025.
Tai Chi Each limb it moves in rhythm In rhythm to the stars As mindful of each moment I drift away so far The earth and I seem ready To dance amongst the sky And whisper to each planet As space it passes by In slow and graceful motion I gather in the light And feed...

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
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
Thank you Phil for bringing memories forward and knowledge that everything and everyone is just a thought away !
Hi Phil,

Hi Tracy Sorry I didn’t reply sooner. I hope you and your lovely family are well. I only go into my website on a Wednesday as a rule to update it. The website has a good following and it’s nice that you enjoy my simple poems. x
