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
Dusk Descends &The World It Thinks It Knows Me

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 all through the night
The owl on her perch
Scans all around
Looking for movement
And the littlest sound
But all seems so quiet
Except for the leaves
Who talk to themselves
As they tickle the breeze
Now I make haste
And wile my way home
To a place of safety
Where I am never alone

Thought To Ponder – Your friend is the man who knows you all about you, and still likes you – Elbert Hubbard

The world it thinks it knows me
That I am plain to see
But believe me when I tell you
There’s so much more to me
I think outside the box so much
It’s simply hard to tell
If I’m making sense
Of theories I can sell
My outer self is normal
Which belies what’s held inside
A million different questions
The world it tries to hide
I could give you some examples
With answers clear to see
But they would be my theories
And they belong to me.

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...
Palm Tree & Mirrored Thinking 21.01.2026.
I just thought a nice poem about warmer days in past might bring back pleasant memories. Palm Tree So tall and long and slender Before she shows her palms No branches like convention And that is just her charm Her roots they feel so sandy You’d never have a clue That...

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 !
