When We Pause

In life we find times when we pause,

It's all about choice,

Your choice,

No right,

No wrong,

Be brave and take that first step,

It it doesn't go as planned,

Pause,

You learned,

Let your inner instincts guide you,

One day that path will lead to a wonderful thing,

The Path

Emotions Flow

The emotions flow,

Tear stained streams,

Of what the pain means,

Now to see clearly,

Of what you truly mean,

Looking through the windows,

Of a Soul,

Looking at you,

Looking at me,

Lost,

In a space, between,

Releasing the pressure,

A wall crashing down,

Removing that barrier,

Perhaps now we can talk,

For if true love exists,

After being put to the test,

Love will find a way,

For if two Souls,

Hear the same song,

Of two hearts singing,

They can become one........

Tears of a Clown

On A Summers Day

Sat on a seaside bench,

Watching a couple stroll,

Looking over a bay,

On a summers day,

A warming breeze,

Seagulls flying free,

Listening to the sounds,

As the waves kiss the golden shore,

A name on the bench of a person,

Who loved to sit there before,

The Spirit of Dance

To dance in the morning,

As a new dawn is born,

Dancing with a shadow,

You're not alone,

A shadow born with the rays of light,

A friend for life,

To be by your side,

To lead the way,

Have your back,

Naturally knowing when the time is right,

Spirit Dancer 

 

It's A Kind Of Magic

It's a kind of magic,

As the magician cast a spell,

Enchanting words,

The Sorcerer said,

In a rhythmic sound,

Air is cracking,

The spell is cast,

As colourful shapes,

Came to life,

An illusion that will last,

That will last the test of time,

No one can never tell,

The Magician

 

The Grass is Green

To open the gate to enter a pasture,

To the grass that is green,

The sweet fragrance of the meadow flowers,

The aroma so enchanting,

Like a bee drawn to a honey trap,

Life changing there after.....

Thoughts of Grains of Sand

Thoughts deep within the mind,

Clog's turning,

A momentum of time,

Grains of sand drop,

Through the hands,

As they grace the face of the dial,

As the sun rises,

Casting shadows across the land,

All that remains are the memories past,

At this present moment in the mind,

Grains of Sand

 

Tattooes in a Mind

To read the lines of another poet,

It stirred emotions within deep,

To hit a cord,

Not like before,

Really made me think,

To capture the feelings with pen and ink,

On a page in verse and rhyme,

A poem that will last,

For the rest of time,

For the words,

Are still there,

Tattooed in my mind,

Five Golden Rings

Five golden rings,

The Carol Singers sing,

Voices carried through the air,

Bringing joy as they sang,

The Church Bells rang,

By the hands of the ringers,

From where they stand,

A Message for a Christmas Scrooge

No time to sleep within a world of dreams,

With winter tales of Xmas past,

With Christmas looming a present day,

New Years future who can say,

Gifted with words and verse,

A Christmas Carol,

To capture the hearts,

Even if you are called Scrooge,

Between The Lines

To read between the lines,

With an open mind,

Hidden words of a wish of a kind,

Maybe will come true on the path in front of you,

With each step forward a direction you will choose,

Climbing that mountain which is in front of you,

One day at a height you will stop,

To enjoy the view,

Haytor Dartmoor Devon 

Forward Motion

Forward motion gets you far,

Far from where you are,

On that path you chose to go,

The path that is in front of you,

On your way enjoy the view,

For a view will change every day,

Memories made and lessons learned,

That is part of life's big plan,

Berry Head Brixham Devon 

To Rise With The Break Of Dawn

To wake and rise with the break of dawn,

A new day born,

Yesterday gone,

Graced by the rays of the sun,

The morning has come,

Heading towards tomorrow,

The path has begun,

A New Path Starts With The First Step

To Dance With the Wind

To dance with the wind,

Listening to the singing leaves,

With the beating on the ground created 

by the rain beating down,

Swirling and twirling to the magical sound,

Dancing in the light of a burning fire,

With shadows cast across the forest floor until

the night is no more,

Dartmoor Mystical Woods

Rivers Flow

A rivers flow is never the same,

On course to its destination,

Sometimes it is fast,

Sometimes it is slow,

With pools in between,

Rivers never flow the same,

Wisdom

Listen to the wisdom long ago,

Thought you learned a lot,

But learned more as you grew old,

For lessons learnt everyday,

Showed you an individual path,

You chose to walk your way.......

To Another Day

To hear the wings from above,

An angel in the sky,

A message delivered,

Protection from a high,

That message of love,

From a guardian angel,

The one you learn to trust,

Guiding you on your way,

To another day, 

2023

A ghost of Christmas Past,

Rested at Last,

Auld Lang Syne sang,

The Church Bells rang,

As a New Year born,

Fireworks,

Lit the sky,

Rockets way up high,

With hopes and dreams,

New resolutions,

Diets and things,

A Ghost of A Butterfly

Butterfly Meadow

She rested under the willow tree,

The branches low and swinging free,

Catkins drooping overhead,

That is where she rested her weary head,

A ghost of butterfly,

In a meadow where she used to fly,

Watching now the butterflies in the sky,

 

WONDER

To wonder,

What a future holds,

Nobody knows,

Of dreams and wishes,

What the heart longs for,

A change in life,

Of fortune,

Love and more,

In a present moment,

That is the gift,

To breath in the air,

The time to live,

To love the one's that mean the most,

To express the words to tell them so,

The past,

The present,

The future,

Divisions of life,

A second in a hand,

As time goes by,

Of smiles and laughter,

Rivers that flowed by tears that are shown,

All memories individual owned,

So to the stage,

One must go,

To play the part,

An actor's role,

Until the day we depart.........
