Muted

 Muted

A trumpeter I used to be,

Tunes I would play for all to hear,

Of love and romance,

Memories made,

Muted now I have become,

As I drift away...............

Cathedral Grand

Cathedral Grand

Sat in the grounds,

Cathedral grand,

Heart of a city,

Listening to the toll of the bell,

As life carries on.

Hypnotised

 Hypnotised 

Tripping on colours,

Fixated in another dimension,

Senses numb,

I have become,

Around in circles spellbound,

Colours of a palette mixed by a brush,

Artist's desire created by lust,

Memento Mori

 Memento Mori

A second in a minute, 

A minute in the hour, 

An hour in a day, 

That is what I remember of yesterday, 

The hand on the clock does not stop, 

No pause in reality, 

Time goes forward in so many ways, 

A day in a month, 

A month in a year, 

Another year older, 

As the hands on the clock go forward, 

Time is a healer, 

So they say, 

With hope and faith to guide me on my way, 

Growing older as the clock goes forward learning along the way,

A White Horse

A White Horse

 

With a white horse,

After the day,

Survived the battle,

Slowly taking it in,

The view that can be seen,

On a high,

Near the sky,

Watching clouds float by,

Gentle breeze caressing my skin,

 

Note

Once there was a time when my heart knew my mind,

It was easy to love,

Being young and carefree,

Lessons learnt over time,

My heart and mind battle now,

With my soul in control,

With what will be will be ........

Hakuna Matata

HAKUNA MATATA

Hakuna Matata my soul shouts to me,

As I am alone and free,

After things did not go as I planned,

Watching the herds from a high,

As the days go by,

Learning from the past,

Licking my wounds as time passed,

Looking towards the stars for guidance,

Predictions forecast,

Wishing on a shooting star,

That my dreams can come true,

On this journey of a circle of life......

August Days

August Days 

August days passing by,

Nights slowly drawing in,

Days strolling along waters edges,

Following a course from where I begin,

Sheltering under a horse chestnut,

Protected by the limbs,

Riding out of the storm,

Till the sky is blue again....

Stood on a high

Stood on a high,

I have stood on a high,

Questioning why,

With pain running down my face,

Hands held high screaming out why,

To this day I did not get an answer,

Walking away starting again on a new path,

Accepting the change,

Coming to terms on where I am stood now...........

Busy Bee

 Busy Bee

A busy day in a scorching heat,

Humming a song to motivate,

Doing what is required.

Personnel Growth

Some times you have to learn to stand your ground alone, to stand up to be

heard. Remaining positive and choosing your own path. Good  or bad 

results is a learning curve. Life is about choice, accepting change and

adapting  and developing. Learning to say NO........ Personnel Growth.

 

Bolt Hole

Bolt Hole A bolt hole for me to go, to take me to another place, 

a place for me to escape, a zone to be free

 

Images

Images 

Viewing images on the sea, 

A reflection is what I see,

Rippled views of the above,

Cast upon the sea,

Extended and distorted by the movement of the tide,

Hidden sometimes by the clouds in the sky,

Hummingbird

Hummingbird

Like a hummingbird I am flying through my life,

Forwards, backwards and even upside down,

Sampling the nectar's available to me,

Some sweet and some sour,

Hovering over periods of time,

Then darting away to be free..........

Sunday Afternoon

Sunday Afternoon

Sat under a sweet chestnut tree,

In the grounds of Dartington,

On top tier of an amphitheater,

Listening to the sounds,

The show today was nature,

As the birds sang their songs......

Gazing

Gazing

I gazed up at the stars at night,

I viewed beauty with my sight,

A shooting star I did spot,

From where I sat from afar,

On a tor,

A beauty spot,

I made a wish,

But not for me,

For I have everything that I need,

I hope my wish does come true,

For the wish,

Was for you .........

Driving

Driving 

My hands on the wheel,

The foot on the pedal,

Driving with nowhere to go,

No destination scheduled,

Just listening to the tunes on the radio,

The miles covered have rolled into days.......

Doorways

Doorways

So many doorways in front of me,

Which one will open or do I have to choose,

What lies behind the eyes can't see.....

Magic

Magic 

I felt the magic in the air,

When you're presence was there,

Stirring emotions in my heart,

I dare not stare,

For you don't care,

So we will stay as we are,

Apart.........

I

I

I breathe,

I see,

Everything around me,

Sensing,

Taking it in,

Remembering everything,

Developing,

Growing,

Maturing.......

Bleeding

Bleeding 

I am bleeding if I write in red ink,

For words are bleeding from my wounds,

The wounds run deep,

Not easy to stem the flow when you're grieving so,

Time moves so fast yet so slow....

Writing

Writing

Write it down,

Emotionally how you feel,

Read the words out loud,

Set it free,

The winds of change will assist,

For what will be will be........

Thoughts

Thoughts

My thoughts are in my mind,

Connecting with visions of the past,

Conjured by deja vu,

Memories transformed to dreams,

Stirring in my sleep,

Waking to reality,

In the present with change,

That you are not here,

Surviving with a broken heart,

Forward I go,

Slow .....

Silent Days

Silent Days 

Oh silent days in my life,

Where my voice can't be heard,

I trust in my actions to be seen,

To bring joy to another being,

For if I can bring a smile,

My action has been worthwhile x
