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

Busy Little Spider & Butterfly Sanctuary

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 so neat

Then all thoughts of your future

Alas will be complete

So heed this timely warning

And pass that way with care

Or else if you’re not careful

You’ll be a spider’s fare

Thought To Ponder – “There are many paths up the mountain , but the view of the moon from the top is the same” – Ancient Japanese Saying

BUTTERFLY SANCTUARY

SILENTLY THEY FLUTTER

WHILE KISSING EVERY BREEZE

AS THROUGH MY SPACE THEY WANDER

TO DANCE AMONGST THE LEAVES

RESTING ON THE FLOWERS

TO DRINK THEIR SWEET PERFUME

IN MULTI COLOURED PATTERNS

THE NECTAR THEY CONSUME

THEIR LIVES THEY PASS SO QUICKLY

A BLINK IN NATURES EYE

BUT SUCH A THING OF BEAUTY

ON THAT YOU CAN RELY

PLEASE DWELL WITHIN MY GARDEN

OH YES I BEG YOU STAY

MY PRETTY LITTLE BUTTERFLIES

WHO ON THE WIND DO PLAY

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...

Quite Ordinary & We Gather Up Moments 12.08.2026.

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...

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...

    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
