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

Change Always Happens P.O.M July

A quiet place to think

Change always happens

That’s how it’s meant to be

For the spirit of a person

Seeks always to be free

To follow every pathway

To dance across the sky

This happens when we’re sleeping

And here is the reason why

The body moves so slowly

Each moment were awake

It reduces all adventures

That we are allowed to take

Then when it take’s a rest break

And falls so fast asleep

The energy within it

Creeps out into the deep

To wander amongst the cosmos

And dance around the stars

In search of new tomorrows

It hopes one day are ours

Then at the time of waking

It drops back into place

And there upon our memory

It does not leave a trace.

Superficial Smile & Clinging To Life

Superficial Smile

You take and make life easy

With your superficial smile

Your hands out stretched for grasping

For you won’t be denied

But what about some payback

I really think it’s due

You gave a little thought now

On what you have to do

To try and make amends now

For all that you have been

One of life’s true takers

Your ways has been obscene

For gifts are meant for sharing

With everyone you meet

For when you give with loving

You life becomes a treat.

Thought To Ponder – The way people shallow breath instead of taking proper deep breaths is similar to the way people think by excepting the popular answers to problems rather than first looking and searching for the truth – PTT

Clinging To Life

Between the cracking pavements

They cling and grasp for life

Spreading out their roots

As to this earth they fight

Once they are established

They bring their own rewards

With flowers so resplendent

They dance to natures chords

Their scent it marks the dawning

To welcome in the day

While light reflects their beauty

As in the wind they play

Their stay is all so fleeting

As to these stones they cling

Dispersing all the sunshine

There clinging lives can bring

Time Is On The Wing & Buttercup 16.07.2026.

Time is on the wing How often I’ve heard that said But only when you are older Can you see the truth instead As hours fly by What once had been a moment Has now become a day Birthdays ever constant Mass without delay The only thing that’s slower Is your body in decay...

    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
