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

Unison & Unfettered

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

Surrounded by the Angels

Who help to keep things right

Each moment is a treasure

With jewels beyond compare

As we stroll along life’s highway

Without it seems a care

And when it comes to parting

My body soul and me

We’ll ponder on this journey

And how it came to be

Happy that we made it

And sad it had to end

But grateful for the time

We lived as one and friends..

Thought To Ponder – Mix a little foolishness with your serious plans; it’s wonderful to be silly at the right moment. – Horace

UNFETTERED

CHASING DOWN THE JET STREAM

ACROSS AN EMPTY SKY

HIGH ABOVE THE WAVE TOPS

IN SOARING FLAMES I FLY

ARCING THROUGH THE ETHER

I’LL ROAM AMONGST THE STARS

PASSING ALL THE PLANETS

THAT PLAY A HOST TO OURS

UNFETTERED BY MY BODY

I SPIRIT ON MY WAY

A SOUL THAT IS ASCENDING

ACROSS THE MILKY WAY

BUT FREEDOM IS SO FLEETING

TOO SOON THE CALL OF DAWN

WILL BRING ME BACK TO GROUNDING

AND THE BODY I HAVE SHORN

MY CORD WILL PULL ME TIGHTER

INTO MY SHELL SO LEAN

THAT WHEN MY EYES DO OPEN

I’LL FORGET JUST WHERE I’VE BEEN

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 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
