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

Epilogue Time P.O.M. June 2026

Epilogue Time

My garden like me

Is showing it’s age

Now Nature herself

Has turned over my page

Why look to the future

That will not be mine

I prefer to dwell

In my epilogue time

Reflecting on glories

And ignoring defeats

Especially those moments

When I became weak

Success is so trivial

It needs it’s own space

To think that maybe once

I kept up with it’s pace

Now it’s just history

And not really for me

For I’m in the place

Where I really should be

In my epilogue time

A Wish To Hold & Caressed By Life – Epilogue Time P.O.M. June

A Wish To Hold

To dream in light

That moves the dark

To think my thoughts

And then impart

To give of time

Without reward

These gifts I wish to hold

To kiss a star

That lights the sky

Or hold the moon

So way up high

To feel the sun

So warm and new

These gifts I wish to hold

To have your trust

And friendship sweet

To make my life

Oh so complete

Then dwell a while

Within your care

These gifts I wish to hold

Thought To Ponder – The Sun ,with all those planets around it and dependent on it, can still ripen a bunch of grapes as if it had nothing else in the universe to do – Galileo

CARESSED BY LIFE

HELD AM I

IN LIFE’S SWEET HAND

AS HERE IN NATURE

I DO STAND

FOR NOT A THING

ESCAPES MY GAZE

AS ALL HER LESSONS

SHE DOES ABLAZE

SHE STOKES A FIRE,

THAT STARTS AT DAWN

AS ON THE WIND

EACH DAY IS BORN

A DAY THAT MOVES

FROM PLACE TO PLACE

THAT LINGERS NOT

AS IT MAKES HASTE

FOR AROUND THIS WORLD

IT MUST DANCE

TO GIVE ALL THINGS

AT LEAST THE CHANCE

TO BE CARESSED BY LIFE

A Restless Stone & Speak Your Mind.

A Restless Stone “Why are you running”? said the stone to the flow “And when you leave here just where do you go” ? “Little stone don’t ask questions For can’t you see I’m off to that place that I’m meant to be” “Then can I come with you ? Can I hitch a ride ? To take...

Adoration P.O.M. for May 27.05.2026.

Adoration I sit in adoration Of all the things you are Sometimes you’re just a thought in mind Perhaps a falling star Where once you were the coming dawn That came from out of night You change into the morning sun With rays so clear and bright Then onto early...

    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
