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

Adoration P.O.M. for May

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 afternoon

To warm the coldest heart

The things that you can manage

I know not where to start

For you really are so special

A thing of pure delight

Then you disappear so quickly

Into the coming night

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 me away from this bleak mountainside”

Alas you’re too heavy

To wander with me

As I travel quickly way out to the sea”

Oh please I’m so desperate to just get away

And roll in your current who’s joys you display”

Here little stone I’ll give you a push

Over this cliff top and into my thrust

But then I must leave you without further delay

As I gather up speed upon my sweet way”

So the stone it did fall as if out of the sky

While glancing off others as it passed them by

Until in a blink it just came to a rest

On the banks of a river were it lost its zest

For then in that moment, it found its sweet home

With others just like him so he was not alone

Thought To Ponder – “It’s a sign of a educated mind to be able to entertain a thought without accepting it” – Aristotle

Speak Your Mind

Please tell me why you whisper

Why not speak right out loud

For you have a voice of vision

That not a thought should cloud

We cannot tell your story

Unless you speak the words

About your hopes for a future

No matter how absurd

For whose to say you’re silly

You might make perfect sense

And the world in all its glory

Could be completely dense.

For fools they seldom differ

And great minds think alike

But the voice that’s starts as a whisper

One day could prove just right.

    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
