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
Epilogue Time P.O.M. June 2026
Epilogue Time
My garden like me
Is showing it’s age
Now Nature herself
Has turned over my page
Why look to the future
That will not be mine
I prefer to dwell
In my epilogue time
Reflecting on glories
And ignoring defeats
Especially those moments
When I became weak
Success is so trivial
It needs it’s own space
To think that maybe once
I kept up with it’s pace
Now it’s just history
And not really for me
For I’m in the place
Where I really should be
In my epilogue time

In The Shade, Father Becomes Son & The Love Of Angels
The next update on the website will be after the 19th of June
In The Shade
The sun it showed no mercy
So I sat in the shade
Reflecting on the sunshine
As it heated where was paved
The flowers did not falter
And gazed right to the light
Accepting every moment
As if it were their right
The rain had passed so quickly
The earth began to dry
Sweating out its moisture
In steam that seemed to fly
Insects in such hurry
Ran and flew with glee
Gathering in the bounty
That nature gave for free
With drooping eyes I drifted
Into a summer sleep
Beneath an old umbrella
In whose company I did keep

Music On You Tube -Daydreaming – Elliot James Reay
One of my favourite poems
Father Becomes Son
Oh when did it happen
For I did not see
When I became you
And you became me
Did it start in my sleep time
Is that how it works
When fathers become sons
And they in reverse
You tell me to do things
In ways I recall
Like please do not wander
Be careful don’t fall
Mind all the traffic
And fasten your coat
Don’t worry I’ll get you
Some sweets for that throat
It’s not that I’m frightened
But the world moves so fast
I just can’t believe
My life has flew past
So I’ll nod in agreement
What else can I do
When I am the child
That I once thought of as you

The Love Of Angels
The love of the Angels
Transcends through your life
Beyond all those moments
Of sunshine and strife
For nothing can faze them
No matter how strange
They simply accept them
And then rearrange
No matter how lonely
You sometimes may feel
The love of your Angels
Will always be real
So bathe in their loving
And dream in their care
For your loving Angels
Will always be there

A Collection of My Idle Thoughts
From April 2017
Success and Failure are both illusions
So they should be treated as such
………………
Life is so full of temptations
But what would life be without a few temptations
………………
Light pollution starves us of the beauty of the night sky
………………
How can we be frightened of the dark
It shows the way to the light
………………
If you can’t lead then standstill
Whatever you do don’t follow
………………
Time like water just seems to run quickly through your hands
………………
Illness is just a reminder of the fragility of life
Which mankind cannot quantify
………………
All gifts should be recognized
No matter how small
For the smallest gift
May have cost the biggest price
………………
The only person in life you can really forgive is yourself
………………
If you ever feel the need to justify yourself don’t
Unless it is too yourself
As you will be the only one who really understands your thinking
No matter how flawed
A Lifetime Of Sailing & Whispers From An Angel 10.06.2026.
A Lifetime Of Sailing I sailed upon an ocean An ocean filled with dreams And as slowly as I drifted I fished for all my schemes The one’s that fed a lifetime On the journey that I pursued From here into tomorrow On a history I would conclude No memories of these times...
A Wish To Hold & Caressed By Life – Epilogue Time P.O.M. June
A Wish To Hold To dream in light That moves the dark To think my thoughts And then impart To give of time Without reward These gifts I wish to hold To kiss a star That lights the sky Or hold the moon So way up high To feel the sun So warm and new These gifts I wish to...
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...

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 !
