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

Change Always Happens P.O.M July

A quiet place to think

Change always happens

That’s how it’s meant to be

For the spirit of a person

Seeks always to be free

To follow every pathway

To dance across the sky

This happens when we’re sleeping

And here is the reason why

The body moves so slowly

Each moment were awake

It reduces all adventures

That we are allowed to take

Then when it take’s a rest break

And falls so fast asleep

The energy within it

Creeps out into the deep

To wander amongst the cosmos

And dance around the stars

In search of new tomorrows

It hopes one day are ours

Then at the time of waking

It drops back into place

And there upon our memory

It does not leave a trace.

World of Colours & Trade Winds

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 perfect

There are forty shades of Green

Along with all the Purples

Whose powers are extreme

For we live upon a planet

A rainbow out in space

Because we are so lucky

We are a multi coloured race

TRADEWINDS

MY HEART IS IN THE TRADEWINDS

THAT CARRY NATURES LIFE

LIKE THE SMELL OF EXOTIC SPICES

THEIR GENTLY BREEZE INVITES

THE SIGHT OF SKATING RAINCLOUDS

ARE NEVER FAR FROM VIEW

AS I TRAVEL IN THESE TRADEWINDS

TO PLACES BOLD AND NEW

THEY LIFT MY SAILS WITH PASSION

AND SPEED ME ON MY WAY

AS I NAVIGATE BY STARLIGHT

BENEATH THE MILKY WAY

HOW I LOVE THESE RESTLESS TRADEWINDS

THAT FEED MY WANDERING WAYS

AND HOPE THEY SPEED MY JOURNEYS

THROUGHOUT MY SAILING DAYS

    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
