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

Object In The Sky & Stillness

Object In The Sky

As the clouds slowly burn

Revealing the sky

There is something that’s moving

In the open blue dye

It glistens and arch

Moving left to right

Oh what could it be

This thing that’s in sight

Too big for a bird

Too quiet for a plane

But it draws my eyes

Again and again

It’s probably a vision

Brought on by the light

Or maybe a spaceship

In it’s circular flight

There’s one thing for certain

As sure as can be

It still just a mystery

To little old me

Thought For The Week – The universe is incurably romantic. It believes in fairytales. Gill Edwards

Lanzarote

Stillness

The stillness surrounds me

Holding me tight

Not a muscle obeys me

But it seems just right

For I’m in that place

Where I’m meant to be

A moment of quiet

With my energy free

Blessed in the warmth

At the start of the day

Seconds to cherish

As time slips away

Too soon it will fade

And the bustle will start

But for now there’s just stillness

Surrounding my heart

    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
