The Lake

Reflections from the water
Pay homage to the trees
Ripples on the surface
Making currents for the reeds
Wading birds in their plumage
Swim in a rhythmic dance
Waiting for that moment
When fish will take a chance
Geckos bathe in sunlight
With tails raised to the sky
While fruit from out the branches
Upon the lawn does lie
All things in a pattern
Going through their time
As I doze upon a sunbed
And waste some more of mine

The Desert

If you‘ve ever seen the desert
You’d say why all the fuss
Because if you had to live there
You’d find it very tough
For the sand goes on forever
And grass it isn’t green
In fact it is not fertile
At least the bit I’ve seen
Though camels seem to thrive there
And prosper in those climes
I don’t think it for a townie
Or made for their design
So I’ll have to say no thank you
And bid it all adieu
But if you’d like to live there
It’s really up to you

 A HARMONY OF ANGELS

TODAY I ASKED THE ANGELS

TO TAKE YOU TO THEIR HEARTS

TO GATHER ALL YOUR PAIN UP

THEN REMOVE IT FOR A START

THEY SPREAD THEIR WINGS AROUND YOU

WHILE YOU WERE FAST ASLEEP

THEN A HARMONY OF HEALING CAME

FROM THEM FOR YOU TO KEEP

NOW TIME WILL MAKE THINGS BETTER

AS TIME ALONE WILL TELL

THEN FROM THIS MOMENT ONWARD

YOU’LL REALLY FEEL QUITE WELL

THE DARK DAYS ARE BEHIND YOU

AS YOU MOVE TOWARD THE LIGHT

BECAUSE I TRUST THE ANGELS

TO MAKE ALL THINGS JUST RIGHT
