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
The Sands Of Time P.O.M. March
What can we learn from the sands of time
But a constant change and redesign
Of all we’ve come to know
From pyramids both large and small
One day will fade and be no more
Of all we’ve come to know
And seas so vast with restless flair
Will one day rise into the air
Of all we’ve come to know
And creatures that can swim and crawl
Will they be here in life at all
Of all we’ve come to know
So many questions we might ask
Especially if we’ve seen the last
Of all we’ve come to know
Then what of man I hear you say
Will he be lost along the way
With all we’ve come to know
Yes
Lost Friends & Who Am I
This old poem of mine appeared randomly on my phone yesterday so I have taken the hint and used it on this weeks update.
LOST FRIENDS
THEY SNEAK RIGHT UP BESIDE ME
ALTHOUGH THEY’RE OUT OF SIGHT
THOSE MEMORIES OF PAST TIMES
THAT BATHED ME IN YOUR LIGHT
FUNNY, SILLY, MOMENTS
WHEN WE HAD TIME TO SPEND
WITHIN EACH OTHERS MAGIC
THAT MEANT WE WERE CLOSE FRIENDS
WE SOMETIMES SAT IN SILENCE
WITH NOT A WORD TO SPEAK
FOR IN THOSE PRECIOUS SECONDS
OUR KNOWING SEEMED TO LEAP
ALL OF LIFES ADVENTURES
WE GRASPED WITH LOVE AND GLEE
AND LIVED EACH SINGLE MOMENT
IN HOPE THAT WE WOULD SEE
THAT WHEN THE SKIES THEY DARKEN
AND EACH IS LEFT ALONE
THE LIGHT THAT WAS OUR FRIENDSHIP
WILL SERVE UP JOYS WE’VE SOWN

Thought To Ponder – Study the past, if you would divine the future – Confucius
Who Am I
A question from your Guardian Angel
Who am I, what do you see
A whisper of a promise
That maybe I could be
Its likely I’m a memory
Of a day that’s passed you by
Or that quiet little moment
Upon the edge of time
I rest right here before you
For nowhere can I go
Just a whisper of a promise
That once you used to know
Before the world of wonder
It lost it’s magic spell
In a age so full of promise
You used to know so well
The cause of life is costly
And brings it share of scars
But God and all his Angels
Will make forever ours
For forever is a garden
With flowers full of care
And an everlasting promise
You’ll find me standing there

Unison & Unfettered 18.03.2026.
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...

SPRITE HE COMES FROM OUT OF NOWHERE TO DANCE UPON A BUSH HE BOUNCES THROUGH THE FOILAGE AS IF HE’S IN A RUSH HE’S CHECKING ALL THE COLOURS TO KEEP THEM CRISP AND NEW IT’S RARE THAT YOU WILL SEE HIM WHEN HE COMES INTO VIEW FOR HIS BODY SINGS SO QUICKLY IT BLURS AMONGST...
Sinkholes, Simple Things & Station Platform 04.03.2026.
The earth is making sinkholes To fill in all the gaps Then she flushes them with water So they will not collapse For her shell is now like acne Pocked and full of holes For beneath her hidden surface There’s tales that go untold For sand is ever shifting And ploughing...

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 !
