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
Outside The Now P.O.M. February
Outside The Now
Sometimes while I’m in motion
I step outside the now
Reflecting on the universe
And wondering where and how
The stars they go in daytime
The moon it disappears
And why the trees in forests
Play noises in my ears
Why do the restless oceans
Keep beating on the shore
And why do tiny snowflakes
Make patterns on the floor
What makes the smiles on faces
At times just disappear
And leave behind a teardrop
To wash away my fears
Why do a babies giggles
Make me glow inside
And when somebody scares me
Why do I want to hide
Why do I chase each moment
As if it were my last
Reflecting on my future
As it repeats my past
Why do I look to heaven
What do I think I’ll see
Maybe God and all his Angels
Just smiling down on me
Spirit Of The Night & Solar Lights
Spirit of the Night
Gentle spirit of the night
Weave your dreams of pure delight
With magic wand, cast your spell
As in the darkness you do dwell
Spread your stardust all around
Like crispy frost on barren ground
Chase the moon across the sky
Sing to trees sweet lullabies
Call the dawn from far away
Champion yet, another day
For you’re so caring
And full of light
You keep me safe
Throughout the night
My gentle spirit guide

Thought to Ponder – Perhaps the straight and narrow path would be wider if more people used it. -Kay Ingram
Solar Lights
Solar lights reduce the dark
Whilst casting shadows that leave no marks
Then all at once within their glow
They give to me a night time show
Bats in flight that swoop and climb
Whilst telling all its feeding time
As insects gather around each light
Bats take their fill with sheer delight
And what was thought a gently scene
Now turns into a nightmare theme
The strong survive or so they say
So they can fight another day
But all this seems to say to me
Is life is just a lottery
Were bats have a winning ticket

Dusk Descends &The World It Thinks It Knows Me 11.02.2026.
Dusk descends in a whispered calm The rush of the day Now gives way to the dark The heat that had conquered Now sleeps until the dawn And the stars in their stations At last twinkle their form In quiet reflection The moon gifts her light For she is the beacon To guide...
Some People Just See Sunshine & Tranquil Garden 04.02.2026.
Some people just see sunshine While others only rain Why they think so differently I really can’t explain For one they say is positive With a cup half full with light While the other they say is negative And only sees the night Though black and white surround us And...
The Rivers Source & Seaside Waking 28.01.2026.
The Rivers Source We found the rivers source Where it wept out in the sun To think we’d found the place Where its life had just begun The start of something special The flow of life itself A fissure in the rock face Regurgitating wealth We looked beyond its birthplace...

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 !
