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 Quest September P.O.M
The Quest
Look into your future
and you will see your past
For nothing in that vision
is changed within the vast
As things are all repeated
again and then again
So making all your choices
will only end the same
A trip back home to heaven
where all the answers lie
Within the halls of wisdom
that’s closed to you and I
Except when hearts are opened
to see inside your soul
And measure out the journey
that each life does enfold
As it races to its conclusion
upon this waking dream
That travels ever onward
to a light that’s yet unseen

Friends & When A Raindrop Hits A River
This poem is dedicated to John Cuckson
May 1946 to August 2026.
Friends
God gives us friends to cherish
Of that you surely know
To share our special moments
And when we’re feeling low
They can’t be bought or bartered
In fact they come for free
And I am truly grateful
You’ve been a friend to me

Thought To Ponder – What comes from the heart, goes to the heart. – Samuel Taylor Coleridge
When raindrops hit a river
At once they disappear
Just where we think they’ve gone too
To us might seem quite clear
They’ve gone to join the oceans
That span across the earth
The very place in history
That once had gave them birth
And we, we are not different
From what just might have been
A thought within a prism
That now lives out its dream
For like the tiny raindrops
We will at last become
Where life itself begun

Busy Little Spider & Butterfly Sanctuary 26.08.2026.
You are safe no spider picture Busy little spider Spinning out his web He lays it like a table For soon he will be fed He likes his food to be fresh So insects please beware When you’re passing by it Don’t touch if you dare Or else he’ll jump upon you And wrap you up...
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...
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...

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 !
