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
A Lifetime Journey P.O.M. November
A Lifetime Journey
I’ll sail upon an ocean
An ocean filled with dreams
And as I slowly drift
I’ll fish for all my schemes
The one’s that feed a Lifetime
On the journey I will take
From here until tomorrow
Without a single break
No memory of this time
Will clouds the days to come
And only when I’m finished
Will I see just what I’ve done
Some dreams will seem just perfect
While others they might fail
But that cannot be a reason
Why I just do not sail.
Bon Voyage……

The Last Supper & A Farewell To Flowers
The Last Supper
Nobody saw me but I was there
Laying the table with bounty so fare
Nobody saw me but I was there
Pouring the wine with infinite care
Nobody saw me but I was there
Cutting the bread for all to share
Nobody saw me but I was there
Providing the fruit without causing a stir
Nobody saw me but I was there
Reading each face to find just who cared
Nobody saw me but I was there
Watching my son while being close to despair
Nobody saw me but I was there
Waiting for his tomorrow.

A FAREWELL TO FLOWERS
I BID FAREWELL TO FLOWERS
THAT DRESSED MY MORNING TRUE
WITH LOTS OF VIBRANT COLOURS
OF GREENS AND REDS AND BLUE
THE DIFFERENT SHADES OF YELLOW
THAT CALLED TO ALL THE BEES
THE MANY TYPES AND PATTERNS
I FOUND AMONGST THEIR LEAVES
I’LL MISS THEIR WAFT OF PERFUME
THAT PERMEATES THE AIR
THAT PLAYED WITH ALL MY SENSES
AND TOOK AWAY MY CARES
I’LL WISH ADIEU TO PETALS
WHOSE LIVES WERE ALL TO SHORT
AND THANK THEM FOR PRESENCE
AND THE JOY THAT THEY HAVE BROUGHT
I’LL SAY GOODBYE TO SUMMER
WITH JUST A LITTLE TEAR
AND HOPE THAT I WILL SEE THEM
WITHIN THIS SPACE NEXT YEAR

Forgetful & A Shamed Of My Past29.10.2026.
Forgetful... You seem so very forgetful But think that it’s ok And you only need remember What you are going to do today But that reply it holds no water It leaks just like a sieve And I know that sooner or later Things will have to give You are standing there before...
A Memory Of Love & Accepting Change 23.10.2026.
A little later than inspected, I am back from my Autumn break in Crete. A Memory of Love We all just leave a memory And perhaps a broken heart So different from when we came here At that time we called the start We learnt so many lessons And stepped on lots of toes...

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 !
Hi Phil,
