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

Speak Louder Sweet Angel P.O.M. April

Speak Louder Sweet Angel

For I cannot hear

The things that you‘re saying

Please make them more clear

Your voice is so quiet

The world drowns it out

And it’s not your way

To stand there and shout

But I am still listening

Though sometimes it seems

I’m lost in my thoughts

Instead of my dreams

On the road that I follow

You’re there at each turn

From all that you tell me

I know I can learn

If only the noises

Of life would subside

My path would be golden

With you by my side

Leading me onward

To a world full of light

Just speak a bit louder

And all will be right.

The Light Of The Universe & Night Ride Into Sunrise

The light of the universe

The light of the universe is easily found

All you need do is just look around

It’s written on faces that give you a smile

It breezes through trees almost all of the while

It’s there in the ocean whenever it sways

And there on the land whose beauty conveys

It’s the kiss of raindrops on the flowers you’ve sown

The thought in your head when you finally reach home

It’s the glow of a moonbeam as clouds drift on by

The glory of nature that never will die

It’s life ever changing while looking the same

It’s the movement of people again and again

It’s the love of your family who greet you with joy

As the universal light we all do deploy

While searching for its source.

Thought To Ponder – One ought not to desire the impossible 

Leonardo Da Vinci

The night ride to sunrise

The night ride to sunrise

It happens in the dark

When sleep gives way to sunlight

And we wake just like the lark

To face another journey

Into the coming day

When who knows what adventures

Life will send our way

But what is really certain

Is everything will change

For all the time we are sleeping

The world it rearranged

Each second in its motion

Is nothing like before

Although sometimes we miss it

While rushing out the door

But maybe in a daydream

We will come to see

That we are mere spectators

In a world that’s meant to be.

Unison & Unfettered 18.03.2026.

Unison We speak in unison My body soul and me As we look towards horizons That only we can see Our days are filled with magic A kind you cannot buy And if I said we are lucky It would not be a lie We are blessed from dawn to sunset And protected through the night...

    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
