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
Jewels P.O.M. for August
Jewels
My heart is just a treasure
That opens like a chest
Filled with lovely jewels
A vision to digest
Its value is tremendous
No price can quite convey
And I am really pleased
You opened it today
You did it, oh so simply
With just a little smile
A gift that god has given
To pass around with style
We all have our own treasures
To show the world each day
Filled with angels kisses
We have to give away
So go in search of treasures
And surely you will find
Chests just filled with jewels
And lots may look like mine

A Dancing Moon & A Lesson In Patience
While Angels danced around the sky
And shooting stars they hurried by
I was captured by the moon
Whose multi faces I did consume
For once so dark now bathed in light
Guiding all with beams so bright
Commanding seas to rock and roll
With all trade winds at her control
Spinning close and not too far
Her ecliptic orbit upon this star
While showing off her scars
That ever changing moon
Thought To Ponder – ” What’s bad for the swarm is bad for the bee – Marcus Aurelius
A LESSON IN PATIENCE
TO STILL MY MIND
AND HALT ITS TRAVELS
TO LINGER LONG
IN TIMELESS SPACE
TO SEE THIS WORLD
WITH EYES OF WONDER
TO HOLD ONES VOICE
IN HUSHED REPOSE
TO CARRY NOUGHT
BUT THE JOYS OF NOWNESS
THESE ARE THE THINGS
FOR WHICH I YEARN

Quite Ordinary & We Gather Up Moments 12.08.2026.
Do you know he said I’m quite ordinary And the Angels laughed out loud You have the gift of life young man And you should be so proud There’s many that just don’t make it So they are left behind Don’t squander what’s been given For it is such a prize It’s time to look...
How Fickle & In Search Of Angels 05.08.2026.
How Fickle How fickle, how fickle the hands of time That robs us all of life divine That takes our youth as if misspent Like the passage of moments That do not relent An hourglass of what has been That filter through as if a dream Faces come and faces go To what end...
World of Colours & Trade Winds 29.07.2026.
WORLD OF COLOURS The world is made from colours With hues so bright and clear Like Reds that shout out danger In tones so full and dear To Pinks that speak of loving And Yellows like the sun Such Blues that seem so endless Just like the sky above And then to make it...

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 !
