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……

A Quiet Man & Life’s Cards
A Quiet Man
One lonely picture
on an empty wall
No one could tell
what he thought at all
Only from his books
that were scattered all around
Could anyone gleam a single sound
For most of the time
he uttered not a word
In case someone thought he was absurd
For this was the world
of a quiet man
Who all through his life
did the best he can
Not to ruffle anyone’s feathers
except perhaps his own.

Thought To Ponder – True intelligence operates silently. Stillness is where creativity and solutions to problems are found.
Eckhart Tolle
Life Cards
I’ll play the hand I am dealt she said
To see just where it goes
For no one can foresee the future
As far as I truly know
Some cards I will dispense with
Because I’ll need their space
To take up a new gamble
In this my human race
It’s all a game of chance you see
Just full of Ying and Yang
So I’ll play the cards I am given
And hope it’s a lucky hand.

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...

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,
