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
The Quest September P.O.M
The Quest
Look into your future
and you will see your past
For nothing in that vision
is changed within the vast
As things are all repeated
again and then again
So making all your choices
will only end the same
A trip back home to heaven
where all the answers lie
Within the halls of wisdom
that’s closed to you and I
Except when hearts are opened
to see inside your soul
And measure out the journey
that each life does enfold
As it races to its conclusion
upon this waking dream
That travels ever onward
to a light that’s yet unseen

Legends & Listen To The Raindrops
LEGENDS
FORGOTTEN LEGENDS
THAT CREEP THROUGH TIME
ANCIENT ADVENTURES
AGAIN I WILL FIND
TALES OF WIZARDS
CASTING SPELLS
MOMENTS OF MAGIC
IN WHICH I DO DWELL
UNICORNS RACING
ACROSS A BARRON SKY
VISIONS OF TREASURES
AND WHERE THEY ALL LIE
FIGHTING WITH MONSTERS
THAT SOON FACE THEIR END
RUNNING FOR COVER
WHILE NEEDING A FRIEND
WAITING FOR HEROES
TO COME TO MY AID
GAZING AT FOUNTAINS
WHOSE WATERS CASCADE
FIGHTING FOR FREEDOM
AGAINST THE CORRUPT
ALL COME WHILE I’M SLEEPING
AND LEAVE SO ABRUPT
THE MOMENT I OPEN MY EYES

Thought To Ponder – The wise one does not judge others, not their words or deeds or what they have or have not done. The wise one only contemplates their own words and deeds. – Buddha
West Kirby
Listen to the raindrops
Tapping on the floor
Cleaning all the daydreams
Whose visions we’ve ignored
Thoughts without the fabric
To make them come to be
Memories of wishes
We’ll never come to see
Cleansed with lots of hoping
And dressed by skies of blue
While buried in a cloud base
That sweeps away our view
The magic of their patter
That hides within the rain
Are all the secret moments
In life we can’t explain
But still we hear them knocking
While dancing on the floor
The sound of things erasing
To which we’ll say no more.

Friends & When A Raindrop Hits A River 02.09.2026.
This poem is dedicated to John Cuckson May 1946 to August 2026. Friends God gives us friends to cherish Of that you surely know To share our special moments And when we’re feeling low They can’t be bought or bartered In fact they come for free And I am truly grateful...
Busy Little Spider & Butterfly Sanctuary 26.08.2026.
You are safe no spider picture Busy little spider Spinning out his web He lays it like a table For soon he will be fed He likes his food to be fresh So insects please beware When you’re passing by it Don’t touch if you dare Or else he’ll jump upon you And wrap you up...
A Dancing Moon & A Lesson In Patience
While Angels danced around the sky And shooting stars they hurried by I was captured by the moon Whose multi faces I did consume For once so dark now bathed in light Guiding all with beams so bright Commanding seas to rock and roll With all trade winds at her control...

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,
