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

Speak Louder Sweet Angel P.O.M. April

Speak Louder Sweet Angel

For I cannot hear

The things that you‘re saying

Please make them more clear

Your voice is so quiet

The world drowns it out

And it’s not your way

To stand there and shout

But I am still listening

Though sometimes it seems

I’m lost in my thoughts

Instead of my dreams

On the road that I follow

You’re there at each turn

From all that you tell me

I know I can learn

If only the noises

Of life would subside

My path would be golden

With you by my side

Leading me onward

To a world full of light

Just speak a bit louder

And all will be right.

Hotel Reception

The ebb and flow of people

That wander through the door

Some that come from places

We’ve heard before

All with different accents

With such a lot to say

And we are pleased to have them

So glad they came to stay

We try our best to help them

As we greet them with a smile

Making sure they take it easy

As they linger for a while

We answer all their questions

At least the ones we know

And keep them entertained

Until they need to go

Then we thank them for their custom

And hope they’ll come again

For without their lovely visits

Our life is not the same

The Picture Gallery

He’s here again she whispered

As he walked in through the door

I know where he is going

In fact I’m pretty sure

It’s to gaze upon that picture

From oh so long ago

And marvel at it’s detail

As only an artist knows

He’ll take a seat right by it

But will not speak a word

As he views each little brush stroke

From a mind that’s seldom heard

For the world that lies before him

Is a scene that’s filled with life

Created by an artist

Whose vision was precise

For it captures every moment

Within times changing light

Unison We speak in unison My body soul and me As we look towards horizons That only we can see Our days are filled with magic A kind you cannot buy And if I said we are lucky It would not be a lie We are blessed from dawn to sunset And protected through the night...

    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
