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

Jewels P.O.M. for August

Jewels

My heart is just a treasure

That opens like a chest

Filled with lovely jewels

A vision to digest

Its value is tremendous

No price can quite convey

And I am really pleased

You opened it today

You did it, oh so simply

With just a little smile

A gift that god has given 

To pass around with style

We all have our own treasures

To show the world each day

Filled with angels kisses

We have to give away

So go in search of treasures

And surely you will find

Chests just filled with jewels

And lots may look like mine

Quite Ordinary & We Gather Up Moments

Do you know he said

I’m quite ordinary

And the Angels laughed out loud

You have the gift of life young man

And you should be so proud

There’s many that just don’t make it

So they are left behind

Don’t squander what’s been given

For it is such a prize

It’s time to look around you

So open up your eyes

For the miracle of life

Can’t be quantified by size

It’s a gift that just keeps giving

To everyone that breathes

Don’t say that your quite ordinary

Only yourself will you deceive.

Thought To Ponder – If you have knowledge, let others light their candles at it – Margaret Fuller

We gather up moments

And take them in our care

Some will seem quite brilliant

While others won’t seem fair

But that’s the way time wanders

Upon the path of life

When laughter can be so fleeting

And sadness just not right

Though our journey is everlasting

From here to who knows where

The energy we use up

Won’t leave too much to spare

Then somewhere in our future

We may by chance look back

And ponder our decisions

Of the love that we gave back.

How Fickle & In Search Of Angels 05.08.2026.

How Fickle How fickle, how fickle the hands of time That robs us all of life divine That takes our youth as if misspent Like the passage of moments That do not relent An hourglass of what has been That filter through as if a dream Faces come and faces go To what end...

World of Colours & Trade Winds 29.07.2026.

WORLD OF COLOURS The world is made from colours With hues so bright and clear Like Reds that shout out danger In tones so full and dear To Pinks that speak of loving And Yellows like the sun Such Blues that seem so endless Just like the sky above And then to make it...

Superficial Smile & Clinging To Life 22.07.2026.

Superficial Smile You take and make life easy With your superficial smile Your hands out stretched for grasping For you won't be denied But what about some payback I really think it's due You gave a little thought now On what you have to do To try and make amends now...

    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
