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

Reflections Run In Circles P. O. M. November

Reflections run in circles

Replaying all our time

What seems today a new thing

Is a past that’s redesigned

Each thought that wanders by us

Has surely been before

Although we can’t remember

The circle stirs once more

Even all the faces

That now come into view

Are souls that are remastered

To start a life anew

The face that I’m reflecting

Could tell a million tales

Of lives that have been successful

With joys I can’t regale

For memories they are fleeting

And will not stay inside

Like reflections of a circle

That spin forever wide.

An Empty Mind

It’s a long time since I sat here

And emptied out my mind

Then looked between the spaces

To see what I could find

For it seems to me forever

Since I was in my youth

And now that I am older

I suspect I know the truth

We travel life’s trail so willingly

Making decisions every day

And from the very start

We stumble on our way

Sometimes we’ll score a victory

Alas sometimes a fail

But that makes a vivid story

When we retell the tale

For nothing will be missing

When we conclude our life

And fill those empty spaces

With things both wrong and right…

Night Lights 15.11.2024.

The last time we saw a full sky of stars was in Cuba several years ago. Light pollution of the night sky  is sad... Street Lights The lights in the street They steal the dark Though in the sky The clouds do part But we can’t see What lies behind For these bright...

    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
