Leaves within a storm (poem)

Leaves within a storm

Within a gentle breeze, the leaves softly sway;
But beyond the breeze, there’s a storm on its way.
Slowly the breeze grows and the leaves start swinging;
A hint of the winds that the storm is bringing.

The storm soon arrives with its wild winds in toe,
Encouraging all the leaves to dance to and fro.
A few leaves break free, they start spinning in flight,
Skipping down the lane, fading out of sight.

The storm tosses some leaves out from that wild race,
Spiralling them down into a calmer place.
Sweeping them into heaps, resting together,
Into a sheltered spot, avoiding the weather.

Other leaves will ride out the storm, flying high,
Only touching land once the storm has passed by.
Settling down once more as the storm fades away,
Whilst above them on the trees, the leaves softly sway.

Kind words and a smile (poem)

06 Oct

Kind words and a smile

Kind words and a smile,
Can make life worthwhile,
And bring joy to all those that you meet.
Just a word or two,
Just a ‘how are you?’
Can spread cheer as you walk down the street.

Doing a good deed,
For someone in need,
Can make their lives feel better this day.
Just a helping hand,
Can get them to stand,
Give them the strength to find a new way.

If someone’s in doubt,
Then just help them out,
Help to restore some peace in their mind.
When you have no clue,
On what you can do,
There is always the choice to be kind.

Tattered sails upon the mast (poem)

29 Sep

Tattered sails upon the mast

The tattered sails upon the mast,
Too many storms they have sailed through.
They tell of a turbulent past,
Of the journeys towards the new.
Tossed and turned on the ocean,
This ship has travelled far and wide.
Always the ship is in motion,
On seas with no safe place to hide.

Yet there are harbours to be found,
A safe haven to recover.
But soon the ship is outward bound,
To see what it can discover.
Those tattered sails all still flutter,
Maybe they won’t win any races.
But through life what does it matter,
If they get you to new places.

Do I have the perfect life? (poem)

08 Sep

Do I have the perfect life?

Do I have the perfect life? a question I asked myself today,
But then upon reflection, just what does perfect mean anyway?
Does a perfect life mean that I can buy anything that I see?
Or that I already have everything that I need for me?

Is a perfect life something that is just hiding around somewhere?
That if I knew just where I should look, would I find it waiting there?
Could someone else find my perfect life, a present they can then give?
Or must I look to others and their lives, to see how I should live?

But why wish for what others have! Try to mimic all that they do,
For I have found that just being kind is enough to get me through.
Being kind to others can bring a joy, a richness deep within,
And being kind to myself brings me peace, when life is hard to win.

As the evening comes (poem)

11 Aug

As the evening comes

As the evening comes to bring the closing of the day,
Nature starts to settle down as the light fades away.
Another busy day is over, it’s time to rest,
As the sun slowly fades from sight, sinking in the west
The rabbits return to their barrows deep underground,
Just nibbled remains of grasses left scattered around.
The birds sing their final song as the dusk settles deep,
Settling on the bushes and trees to go to sleep.
The squirrels climb into their holes as the night descends,
For the creatures of the day, it’s now that their day ends.

As the evening comes to bring the starting of the night,
The creatures of the day have all disappeared from sight.
The world belongs to the moonlight and the stars up high.
The bats begin to wake up, spread out their wings and fly,
Sending out their echoes as they seek their food to eat.
The foxes start their hunting, so agile on their feet.
The hedgehogs are rummaging for insects in the lawn.
The owls go hunting silently from dusk until dawn.
Nature never knows stillness, only its cast gets changed.
As the evening comes, so nature just gets rearranged.

Olympics: In friendship and peace (poem)

28 Jul

Olympics: In friendship and peace

In friendship and peace, let the Olympic games begin,
Uniting the world through these games, whether we lose or win.
Uniting the people in these games, as they compete,
Uniting the rest of us, as we watch from our seat.

Let the games bring a chance to learn about each other,
Bringing us a chance for new friendships to discover.
Recognising that we have one world that we all share,
Bringing understanding and letting us learn to care.

When it’s all over, let us take those friendships away,
Let’s remember the joy this unity brought our way.
Within each of us, we carry the Olympic light,
Let’s forever keep the peace found there, within our sight.

Am I going backwards or forwards?(poem)

21 Jul

Am I going backwards or forwards?

Am I going backwards or forwards? I do not know.
Would looking upwards or downwards show a way to go?
Some ways look clearer, while others are fading from view.
Should we look back at the old? Or consider the new?

So many times through life it has not been too easy,
When I find a place of calm, it starts to get breezy.
When I find a time of peace, hoping that it will last,
The rhythm of life starts beating its drum and strolls past.

From all of this, I am coming to the conclusion,
That a place of harmony is just an illusion.
That a life in pursuit of perfection is unreal,
So just what should my emotions start trying to feel?

Only this moment is real and all that it contains,
When it comes to the past, just its history remains.
When it comes to the future, it always begins here,
And only towards the future can we ever steer.

Just stand in this moment, for it’s here that we belong,
From this moment in life, our future starts strolling along.
With all of life’s confusions, tip them out of your mind,
With all the anger of the past, just leave it behind.

You are who you are! All that you need is found within,
Inside your own heart is where your future can begin.
Within yourself, kindness and love can be found today,
When your life gets too confusing, let them guide your way.

Let peace find a way (poem)

14 Jul

Let peace find a way

Let peace find a way when anger rages all around.
In amongst all the confusion, let calmness be found.
When chaos takes control, keep your own order within,
Banish those shards of anger, let the healing begin.

Let peace find a way through the turmoil and the sorrow.
Anger has no place in the world of our tomorrow.
When no path can be seen that would take anger away,
Then within your own life, let your calmness guide your way.

Let peace find a way on whatever road that you take.
Peace can always find a way in the choices we make.
Fighting anger with anger will just help it to grow.
If we let peace in, then a better world we will know.

The scattering of sunlight (poem)

07 Jul

The scattering of sunlight

The scattering of sunlight dancing through the trees,
The flowers swaying to the sound of the buzzing bees.
Butterflies start dancing with the rising of the sun,
Their colours shining now that another day’s begun.
The birds sing their dawn chorus, greeting the suns new light,
The bees, the birds, the butterflies, to the skies take flight.

The scattering of sunlight spreading across the ground,
The rabbits start emerging to see what can be found.
The deers start wandering, nibbling the leaves and grass,
Taking sips of water from a stream they wander pass.
The otters on the riverbank race along its rim,
Then dive into its water, where they can play and swim

There is no need to apologise, my friend (poem)

29 Jun

There is no need to apologise, my friend

There is no need to apologise, I do understand
Just take the time you need, perhaps I can lend a hand.
You have helped me so many times before when in need,
Now it is my time for me to return the good deed.
If you just need some time to rest for a little while,
Then just let me know when you are ready for a smile.
If you are feeling unwell, is there something I can do?
Just say if you need anything sorted out for you.
For now, just do what it is that you need to this day,
Remember I am there if you need me in some way.
