Nature’s Midsummer Music (poem)

22 Jun

Nature’s Midsummer Music

The Robin calls as sunrise begins,
Announcing that it is getting light.
Silence fades as every bird sings,
Their dawn chorus chases the night.

The Red Kite flies smoothly above,
Crying out as it watches below.
In the garden lands a Collard Dove,
Cooing as it walks to and fro.

The Swallows can be heard up high,
In the warmth of the afternoon.
Swiftly they zoom across the sky,
Singing out loud their high-pitch tune.

Sparrows are chattering in the tree,
Before they descend onto the ground.
Hopping all around the lawn to see,
What seeds and insects can be found.

The Nightingale calls as sunset nears,
The birds start to settle for the night.
But the Barn Owl hoots as it appears,
Opening its wings and taking flight.

Enjoying the sunshine (poem)

27 Apr

Enjoying the sunshine

There’s no rain in the forecast for the day ahead,
Sunshine greets you when you climb out of bed.
This day is your own, you can choose what to do,
And in this sunlight, the outdoors beacons you.

A chance to garden, putting in those new flowers,
Finding contentment and losing the hours.
The peacefulness found in a long country walk,
Meeting up with a friend and having a talk.

There’s the laughter of children playing outside,
Dashing around, finding somewhere to hide,
Before going with friends, down to the park,
On the swings and the slides, until it gets dark.

Then out comes the barbecue, there’s plenty to eat!
With friends coming around to join in with the treat.
Happiness shared with the food, all are well fed,
As the moon starts to rise, you retire to bed.

When views differ (poem)

21 Apr

When views differ

If I am me, and you are you,
And cannot see, my point of view.
Then this I’ll say, my view will win,
For in my way, I’m right within.

But you also, may be right,
So need to know, that in my sight,
We disagree, but also share,
A chance to see, a truce in there.

Let us agree, that from our view,
If you were me, and I was you,
We could seek where, this differ ends,
And then from there, we would be friends.

The day between (poem)

20 Apr

The day between

Yesterday has finished all that was left,
Tomorrow the plans will begin anew.
I cannot help but feel a little bereft,
In this emptiness caught between the two.

There is no preparation I can yet start,
There is no more that I can put away.
Nothing for me in which to take part,
Nor any chance of speeding up today.

Surrounded by an inner stillness,
I can only sit down and stare.
And yet, with a little willingness,
I can teach myself to become aware:

Of all those little things that I often miss,
The sounds and colours that surround me.
This day between, could become one of bliss,
To go and explore this world around me.

To take a walk and let time drift on by,
Between the sunrise and the sunset,
And see the beauty of the Earth and sky.
This day between, a day not to forget.

Only this moment is real (poem)

14 Mar

Only this moment is real

Only this moment is real, only in the now can we live,
Only this moment we can feel, only in the now can we give.
The pain may have carried through, the heartache may linger within,
But your life you can renew, a new journey you can begin.

Yesterday may have lost it way, tomorrow is just full of dreams,
But your heart lives in today, though that may not be what it seems.
Joy can be in your life again, Laughter can once more fill the air,
Even if, in stillness you remain, and uncertain of getting there.

Feel your heart beating within you, let it drift you into tomorrow,
For it knows there’s a better view, that you can leave behind the sorrow.
Let the wounds of the past heal, let the spirit within you thrive,
For only this moment is real, and in this moment we are alive.

Through the winter branches (poem)

17 Feb

Through the winter branches

Through the winter branches flows the winter breeze,
Through the winter branches you can see beyond the trees.
Spring may have the blossom, in summer the trees are green,
Autumn many shades of red, but in winter the hills are seen.

Through the winter branches the sun comes to touch the ground,
Through the winter branches the wind carries every sound.
Spring may have the buds, in summer shadows fall below,
Autumn sways the leaves, but in winter the sky’s on show.

Through the winter months the sun travels low across the sky,
Through the winter months the moon and stars are seen up high.
The winter brings a freedom, a distance clarity for tired eyes,
The frost upon the branches as, on and off, the robin flies.

The stones of forgiveness (poem)

02 Feb

The stones of forgiveness

The stones of forgiveness lay within the pool of pain,
Each a small piece that can make you whole again.
Reach into the pool and find forgiveness within,
Release it from the pool and let the healing begin.

Hold a stone in your hand so the forgiveness can start,
Open up your fingers and release it from your heart.
With the freeing of a stone the pool’s becoming clearer,
The bottom of ‘complete forgiveness’ now a little nearer.

Let every stone be released to where there is the need,
Until, from the pool of pain, every stone is freed.
The pool becomes calm, its clarity still and true,
The peace of ‘complete forgiveness’ now laying within you.

The joy of living (poem)

26 Jan

The joy of living

The joy of living and giving,
Brings a happiness to us all.
To be loving and forgiving,
Helps to heal a wound if we fall.

The joy of caring and sharing,
Brings harmony into our life.
With your own life, be sparing.
And to others, help ease their strife.

The joy of being and seeing,
Lets us know our humanity.
If our inner peace we are freeing,
It will help to bring serenity.

The joy of knowing and showing,
That a better person we are.
Helps the world to keep on growing,
And lets our kindness travel far.

Friends within Strangers (poem)

18 Jan

Friends within Strangers

We live in a world that is full of friends,
There are many that we have yet to meet.
Our journey through life has many bends,
And around some we will find one to greet.

A stranger can hide a new friend within,
With a chance to learn about who they are.
From that, your journey as friends can begin,
And, with them, you could travel far.

Every dawn brings to us new light,
To help guide our way into tomorrow,
And a new friend could come into sight,
To bring joy or to ease our sorrow.

Perhaps they need you to help them to walk,
Or maybe they could help your troubled mind.
But if we could just find the time to talk,
Then friends within strangers we could find.

The gift of a smile (poem)

17 Nov

The gift of a smile

A smile can bring forgiveness and a healing to the heart.
A chance to bring a nearness to those who are far apart.
A chance to bridge a divide and for hope to start again,
Love and joy it cannot hide, nor can bitter words remain.

A smile can save a moment, a key to tensions door,
A moving to atonement, a chance to reassure.
It gives a silent greeting to a stranger who’s in need,
Eases stress in a meeting and causes fear to recede.

A smile can bring happiness to those who are feeling low,
Release them from their sadness and help their spirit grow.
Help an injured soul to mend and to heal their pain within,
Brings anger to an end, so a better life can begin.
