Equinox, the balance of nature (poem)

Equinox, the balance of nature

At the time of the equinox, of equal day and night,
So we get a balance between nature’s dark and light.
This balancing of time across the world comes twice a year,
When the sun, between the north and south, once more does steer.
Taking with it the summer, whichever way it goes,
Leaving behind a land to face the cold winter snows.
Stretching the days longer wherever it climbs up high,
Bringing its warmth to the Earth under the summer sky.

Some birds decide they should follow the sun the same way,
Migrating to warmer lands for the winter to stay.
Some creatures prepare to sleep through winter’s long cold sting,
Until the equinox brings back the sun for the spring.
Natures voice can still be heard upon the coldest dawn,
As the robin sings its song, flying down to the lawn.
Winter coats keep animals warm through winters cold blast,
Until the equinox brings back warmer days, at last!

Let today become our friend (poem)

05 Sep

Let today become our friend

Before tomorrow comes, let today become our friend,
Let’s make the most of it before it comes to an end.
There are many ways we can share our lives with today,
Whether it’s the familiar, or something new to play.
Whether it’s just one thing, or a day of many parts,
We can make the most of it before this day departs.

Just for today let’s tuck all those bad bits out of sight,
Turn away from the shadows and step into the light.
Let the breeze of today clear those cobwebs from our mind,
Watch old ideas tumble away, leaving space behind.
Let’s not fear those new ideas that are floating around,
Between their uncertainties, some good bits will be found.

Today’s an unknown, but it’s there for us to explore.
A chance to open up our mind, for us to learn more.
A chance to look into our lives, to find out what’s there,
A chance to see what else there is, in this world we share.
Let tomorrow find its own way, to come when it’s due,
For now let’s enjoy all that today brings into view.

Seasons of life (poem)

29 Aug

Seasons of life

From the time of our birth,
On the world we call Earth,
The seasons of our life, with our childhood, begins.
Learning whilst we have fun,
Playing games in the sun,
Laughing aloud as we all race to see who wins.

During childhood we grow,
Learning more as we go,
Too soon the season of adolescence arrives.
Each child seeking a way,
Exploring more each day,
Discovering a new future for their young lives.

Into the world we stroll,
Making a life our goal,
During the long season that we call adulthood.
So many paths to take,
In life’s journey to make,
An adventure filled with both the sad and the good.

Whilst we work, rest, and play,
The years just roll away,
Then the season of seniors comes into view.
To the young we now turn,
As we help them to learn,
The cycle of life’s seasons beginning anew.

But it hasn’t happened yet (poem)

01 Aug

But it hasn’t happened yet

But it hasn’t happened yet, so it’s not too late,
The fears within us do not have to be our fate.
If there’s still a clear sky above us, we can win,
If there’s a clear road before us, we can begin.

Even if the sky’s cloudy, we can still prepare,
Even if the roads bumpy, it can get us there.
Even in the darkest night, the dawn will arrive,
If we are still standing, the dream is still alive.

If it hasn’t happened yet, we can still choose a way,
To seek out a better path to get through today.
Even if every choice is not ours to make,
We can decide within, the thoughts we want to take.

Until it has happened, we can keep on going,
And let the dreams for tomorrow keep on growing.
The way to the future can be found in your heart,
Being kind in this world is a good place to start.

Many creatures, one Earth shared together (poem)

19 Jul

Many creatures, one Earth shared together

Every creature lives life its own way,
Whether they can walk, slither, swim or fly.
Each living their life through the changing day,
Whether on the land, the sea, or the sky.

What we all are is defined by our birth,
What we become, is shown by what we do.
All of us share our lives upon this earth,
One special place to live our whole lives through.

Some plants send flowers towards the sunlight,
Others preferring a place in the shade.
Some creatures wander around in the night,
Others a life under the sun is made.

The oceans all around the world do flow,
With Continents breaking through their surface.
Whether on land or sea, new life will grow,
The Earth from space is a beautiful place.

The seasons with their changeable weather,
Provide the heartbeat by which life does live.
Many creatures, one Earth shared together,
A chance of harmony, this Earth does give.

Grey clouds and Blue skies (poem)

04 Jul

Grey clouds and Blue skies

When blue skies turn grey,
Upon this new day,
It is just a few clouds drifting past.
Just washing the sky
As they drift on by,
For those grey skies are not meant to last.

Watering the land,
Giving life a hand,
Before the sun comes back out to shine.
In the sun we sow,
In the rain we grow,
Both skies telling us that life is fine.

When life seems so grey,
It’s not meant to stay,
Grey skies will soon let the sun shine through.
The rain sweeps life clean,
A fresh world is seen,
In your heart your life feels bright and new.

Is life just a race? (poem)

13 Jun

Is life just a race?

Is life just a race?
In this world we face,
There’s so much to know,
And places to go.

Life’s race has begun!
But I need not run.
For if I just stroll,
I will reach my goal.

Just a steady pace,
Let’s me win life’s race.
I need not go fast,
For my life to last.

Getting up each day,
Keeps me on life’s way.
When life is a trial,
Just rest for a while.

Lift is not a test,
To become the best.
But just to walk through,
And enjoy life’s view.

Let your heart guide your way (poem)

30 May

Let your heart guide your way

Let your heart guide your way,
As you walk through each day,
Let it take you through your pain and sorrow.
Let it make your day bright,
As it brings into sight,
A path that will lead you to tomorrow.

Let your heart set you free,
To be what you can be,
To bring out the best of you from within.
Let it help you explore,
To become something more,
To become someone who in life can win.

Let your heart be your eyes,
As you look to the skies,
Let it show you the world that surrounds you.
Let your heart guide your hand,
As you help others stand,
Let your heart show just what your love can do.

Walking in a storm (lighthearted poem)

16 May

Walking in a storm

I thought I would take a walk today, though I was not sure just where,
To give myself a change of scene, and to enjoy some nice fresh air.
The weather seemed fine this morning, but I did not check the forecast,
So how was I to know that this fine weather was never meant to last!
Though the park, out into the countryside, my steps were taking me,
There’s a woodland over the next hill that I would like to see.
As I turned my back upon the town, I did not see to know,
That clouds were creeping into view, ready to put on their show.

The first clue was the branches swaying gently, which at first was great,
A pleasant walk through this beautiful woodland, seemed to be my fate.
But the winds began to grow stronger, as from the cold north they blew,
Then the clouds came sweeping over, and swept the sun out of my view.
It was when the raindrops started, that I finally understood,
I should have checked the weather forecast, and worn my coat with its hood!
Raindrops tumble down in droves, I dashed for shelter under a tree,
But when the thunder roared, I knew it was not a safe place to be.

By then the winds were howling, it was so hard to fight their fierce blast,
I fought my way towards the woodland edge, hoping this storm would not last.
A crack of thunder came overhead, with such a bright flash of light,
That I was blinded for a while and froze there, fearful in my plight.
I then heard a crash nearby, and started running the other way,
And found myself falling in a ditch, I’m in a right mess today!
The water in there went rushing around me, I was soaked right through,
Next time I take a walk, I’ll check first what the weather wants to do!

Born in pure innocence (poem)

03 May

Born in pure innocence

Born in pure innocence are how all babies arrive,
Born without prejudices, with love ready to thrive.
Little hands reach out in friendship to those all around,
Within their tiny faces, joyfulness can be found.
No awareness of our differences, born within,
Born in pure innocence is how all our lives begin.

Little hands waving all around, when trying to walk,
Words spoken without languages, when trying to talk.
Happy to befriend anyone who will come and play,
To greet with excitement the coming of a new day.
No awareness of our choices that set us apart,
Let love and kindness become their guide, right from the start.
