Slide in gentle to the night
Feel its fingers holding tight
The caress you feel
Is o so real
The shroud you wear
Is o so clear
As quietly you sit and stare
Watching to see what goes there
The night reveals its hectic flow
Of night time creatures and
Ribbing toads

MOTHER
As we kick within the womb
Growing fast within our tomb
Outside mother blooms and blooms
In the knowledge that we’re in tune
With all the love that fills her heart
Silently as she plays her harp
Listen
to the sound of the drum
Beating as you suck your thumb
Soon my dear it will be time to come
Into the world and beat your drum

Meditation is like the growing inside a mother, priming us at every turn to
help us grow, learn and understand both ourselves and the outside world. There
is no point in understanding every inch of yourself if you understand nothing
of your surroundings, the turn of the year etc. You must practice the basic
meditations on a regular basis and also the protection prior to meditating.
Without this practice your tools are no longer tuned tools, just old discarded
toys in the cupboard, all dusty when pulled out to reminisce, and never as wonderful
as you thought you remembered them. This is because as with all things a tool
needs use and oiling regularly
Blessed be

STARS
Deep in the night
Dark in the depths
Where do you go when the stars shine so bright
In creep thoughs thoughts
In creeps the fear
And out of the twinkles shines a bright torch
To wipe out those fears
Hold stars in your heart
And step in the light
Never to walk in the land of the night

WHERE DOES IT GO?
What is that sound I feel beneath my wings
Raising me higher and higher
Is it my heart beating?
Or can it be that binding thing called music
Chanting in my mind
And playing with my soul
In the pit of my stomach
I feel it grow
Beating, throbbing and moving
Over my body like a wave
Stealing me as it goes
Plucking its way through my strife
Off it goes taking my life
Flowing back and forth
until that moment the plug is pulled
bump to earth, I tumble down
Seeing the day in a brand new light

GROWTH
As I sit and watch you grow
Spring is coming and you know
Life is good as you unfold
To show your beauty so untold
Smiling as I see you peeking out
All I want is to shout
Of joys and new beginnings
Goodbye to days of doubt
As you continue in your path
I know you’ll face the choices of life
Grow or wither, flourish or die
And shrug off the thought
as your learn to fly

FLOWERS
Dainty flowers sitting pretty
Dancing round on stems so bold
Fancy colours shouting out
Taunting us to hold
Let us pick the pretty flowers
Put them in a vase or bowl
Let them dress our homes with cheer
Until the day that they grow old
Then what we ask
As out they go to sit in bins
Of yuk and mould
Then it dawns that we shouldn’t hold
or be so bold to think we know
Just leave them in the garden
And there they will be bold and gold

CATS
Prowling and prancing, off they go
Over the fence and off for a roam
Into the bushes they slide into gloom
Hiding away, planning some doom
Huddled and comfy they peer with green eyes
Hoping to spy a mouse walking by
Quickly and deftley out swoops a paw
Definitely attatched is a sharpe tooth and claw
Wriggle it may with much dismay
As life drains out with every sway
Flying through the air it begins to wonder
If I had wings, Id of missed this plunder
Slowly now it sees the peace
And the cat at large goes off for tea.

OPTIMISTIC LIFE
Tapping away my mind it strays
To days gone by
And childhood play
The screen it flickers pulling me back
To mindless words and broken cracks
Click clack goes the keys as they chatter
Reminding of all that matters
The life we lead is o so fast
Everything seems to just rush past
Stop the world I want to get off
Learn a bit more they all doth scoff
I try and try without success
Then realise I am the best
I smile and rise in technicolour
Life is fun, now Im a runner

TRANSPORT
Standing here in the rain
Waiting for that single train
Will it come my mind inquires
To take me to my hearts desires
Chugging into dusty stations
Blowing rubbish on the tracks
Making noises loud and brash
The train pulls in long and black
Hark the doors are sliding open
Many feet come stamping out
Jostling to be the first
To where we ask does lie their thirst
At last your sat in grimey seats
Listening to all the squeaks
Grubby ticket held in hand
To give the guard on his demand
Flying past the different views
Wondering what’s past this avenue
Notice fellow passengers, reading papers, and singing songs
Blindly gazing into space
Thank goodness my stops coming up

WIND
Swirling Howling Spinning round
Taking grains or life from ground
Holding them up to show around
Then dropping fast and making sounds
The spring has sprung and life is blooming
Still the wind itself is looming
Hold on tight while winter rebels
Against the theatening summer smells
At last the sun is taking hold
The winter winds are loosing cold
Making way for warmer breezes
Leaving us with summer eases

Climbing
Climbing the mountain
Looking for the fountain
Feeling the force of the thrill
Jumping for joy at the trills
Every footstep is a lesson
Making the distance ever smaller
Step by step as muscles clammer
For the chime of the final hammer
Reaching top is o so sweet
As you mop your brow of sweat
Smiling with joy and lifes delights
Feeling the fruit of your own plights

HE HE HA HA
‘He he ha ha’ we are out to play the devil complete
To make our life’s so sweet and neat
Step on toes and squash the small
No one will ever care at all
‘Um Um’ we say, that isn’t true
Some of the ants have stings that are cruel
They nibble and bit and at first feel like mites
Until the story all unfolds
Hooray Hoorah the doors will be held ajar
The ant with the bite will go so far
Striving for the right and striving for the love
Even the smallest ant runs for the bar
The moral my lovellies is always beware
Even the ants have the power to outstare
Tipping the scales and making them fidget
Scratching the places that even make widgets

GOLDEN LOCKS
Golden Locks I watch you fall
as welcoming as an open door
Seeing people by my side
Starting to slip and slide
Such a change is always hard
but shows you truth like a midnight bard
Telling tales and showing dead’s
May not always of been what they seemed
The Golden locks can grow again
But the lessons learn’t will flow for ever
Making choices, living lives
Always giving someone a fright

DOZY
It
crows and dozes through the day
Feeling out our every need
planning Life and sleeping well
Until we can leave this Hell
The office doors they open wide
and throngs of people pour outside
excited of the things to come
or maybe just being mum
I wonder as I tap and type
how many wish they had a bike
or someother dream to spur them on
to make them come and do the slog
Without the dream you wont go far
no door to find, no gold to chase
Find it now and find it fast
The doors are open just a jar

THE BOOK
As we sit all alone
Contemplating whims and woe
Spare a thought for the path we took
To bring us to the page in this book
Our lives are but maps laid on a desk
Ours to see if we would just let
So who can say that this is wrong
Just turn the page and read right on
Tomorrow is new and bright
the page still shiney and white
Take care of the ink you use when you are there
and tomorrows page will be clear and right

CHARM
As I wander fondly round
Looking at the life Ive found
Feeling all its charms and wonders
Cherishing the pieces and fondle
We surround ourselves with things of matter
Telling ourselves these things matter
Do they don’t they who’s to know
But you are the one who must
Be it right or be it wrong
your heart must sing one single song
the song of yours and noone elses
be it right or be it wrong

SHARING
Now
that I have the joy of life
Give me the keys to the time
Hold out your hands with a loving gesture
Carry me on with all you conjecture
Be
next to my heart when my feet may faulter
Give caring words when my esteem is low
Continue to guide me when all else is darking
Be still my light on even grey days
In
turn I will sparkle and fight to grow
Offer words of wisdom when days are old
Take more than my steps when the body is weary
And continue to fight when there is no more
Life
is yours, and life is mine
To share with the young and share with the old
To teach and to Listen deep into the night
And hold in the darkness until sun shines so bright

TEACH
Slipping slowly, breathing deep
Catching life in every beep
Sparkles as they flow on by
Settling on the passers by
Catch one quickly as you sink
Into the depths of lifes abyss
Draw it in and hold on tight
Remember not to lose the fight
As we learn and as we grow
Begine the track that we all know
The track of learning lays ahead
Never ending, never dead
When the learning begins to grow
Watch the track spread out below
Now you teach and learn some more
Always at another door

Shady hollow
Shady hollows with tall green trees
Shedding dappled light on dirty knees
Tanned brown skin, and skinny dipping
After the heat of the day
Childhood brings these joys in abundance
Filling our days with glory and wonder
Magical journeys at every turn
Guiding our playtime as we learn
As an adult the pleasures we go back to seek
They give us glimpses of days gone by
When all we had to worry on was the scratches and grazes
Unfolding in luxury we enjoy for a moment
Sliding gently into the lull
Savour each moment until you are full
And grownups be aware
If you look its always there.

Chitter Chatter on it goes
flowing like we have no toes
Sticky stacking all there woes
over white as fast as it goes
Incoming always knows
who is friend and who is foe
Pass the Marshmallows
Open the tub, let the bubbly flow like a tap
Let it all rest and tingle the tongue
taste with delight and feel its brush
as it passes watch it glisten
Know
the noise and feel the sizzle
beeze me, throw me, blast me on
I lovethe world it turns me on
I never shy but sometimes faulter
always live and never boult
Whats the subject, chat and fritter
Just a nonsense I was playing with

Ode to my none cooperative computer
Computer Despair
Churning, whiring off it goes
hunting answers as it flows
where does it stop, o no I know
at the No box, clunk, o woes
Despair I feel as yet again
My trusted friend just fails to bend
decided on the path it chase's
Wont be drawn by all my hunting
Why o why will you not bend
I've guessed and fought and still no end
the words I want to tumble forth
you refuse to lend your power of thought
Soon you will be no more
I will pull the plug and start to pour
the shops they heave with friendly faces
ones who will love me not despair me
Think on this as you keep on churning
My patients thin and my bank is burning
if you refuse to let me in
the only place for you will be my bin

The Plan
The gift we hold within the hand
Cannot be seen or thrown off plan
As quietly as a little mouse
It slips into your very house
With eyes wide open and heart off hold
The next footstep shows where to go
Smiling with each step I take
Following footprints without mistake
Enveloped in a warm bright cloud
The rush I feel makes me so proud
Fear subsides and realisation takes hold
Ive just been given a brand new dawn
As this chapter keeps unfolding
Life around me keeps evolving
Throw a line, drop a thread
Now the path must ride unsaid

WHISPERS
I feel you brush across my skin
Touching me so deep within
Passed my heart and through the door
Deep within my very soul
Whispers in the dead of night
Seeing me just like a sprite
Winds do rustle, leaves do stir
Scents that blow away the fur
Looking deep and seeing all
You open eyes and blind no more
Watch as steps are carefully taken
Carful not to break the hush
Take care dear whisper of my night
There is a bark and a great big bite
The smiles and comfort quickly warmed
To those who know where boats may moore
just a little ditty...........
Days End
Slipping into idle matter
Hear the clicking and the chatter
Longing for the day to end
Knowing soon you will be able to scatter
The clock it slowly turns to time
And you just sit and write a rhyme
No rush now, no phones to answer
No more work that knocks your door
Peace and quiet lays all around you
Lap it up while it is yours

LOVE
Nectar falling from above
They lie you know of things like love
Squeeky clean and jelly knees
Dont you wish this could be
Slipping into rosey stuppurs
Slidding into flowery dreams
As you glide into these lies
Remember too you have to spy
Dreams of wonder not to dash
Or why does love just hate to last
Test the waters, have a splash
but dont be fooled, Its yours to cast
Life is special, true and full
Dont waste tht life on the blind and fools
They must see who you can be
Not what you are or what you might be
You are Special as we can see
Be that person whatever maybe
Feel the life inside of thee
Breathe love itself, and you'll just be
Cast your shadow and never dought
Feel your way and and always clout
The people dought your inner strength
They deserve a hit for being so out

STUMBLE
As it flows on through my veins
Seeping into every lane
Feeling life within the case
Looking for the sweet embrace
I step into its bright new slumbers
Aware of all the falls and stumbles
Storing life right in the face
taking on the speeding pace
Scrape a knee, scratch a heart
Its what you get when missing darts
Sighs of great relief
Standing up with warm release
The outstretched hand appears before you
Lending life to one who fell
Hold on tight and thankyou kindly
Hold the strand along your way
Hold a strand unto your heart
They're very rare and also large
Shine them, tend them, take good care
for any thread is known to tear
I feel you brushing across my skin
Touching me so deep within
Passed my heart and through the door
Deep within my very soul
Whispers in the dead of night
Seeing me just like a sprite
Winds do rustle, Leaves do stir
Scents that blow away the blur
Looking deep and seeing all
You open eyes and blind no more
Watch as steps are carefully taken
Careful not to break the hush
Take care dear whisper of my night
There is a bark and a great big bite
The smiles and comfort quickly warmed
to those who know where boats may moor

Till Next We Meet
Im touched by your whisper
Like the caress of a kiss
Deep in my heart
I am truly blessed
Your hand outstretched lays before me
Leading me on my way
Opening the doors
And leading me through the fray
To where am I going is always the quest
Leading me to the journeys rest
Following on with no misconceptions
I will be the willing guest
You show me the clouds and the land lain beneath
The path I should walk and the way it should be
Stirring the layers for me to see
The understanding of the plea
And now the time has come upon me
Make a choice or blindly walk
Stirring up my very soul
Showing me the place to go
Forever will I remember you my friend
Gentle of heart and ready to defend
I see you waiting for my footsteps
Watching just in case I falter
Each path I walk will be so stoney
But we meet in dreams of times gone by
You see my friend we’ve met before
Its just that now I cant close the door
Till next we meet

THEY CAME A CALLING IN THE NIGHT
They come a calling in the night
Sweeping through just out of sight
Do they know I’m watching now
Seeing as if in my hand
Lay the gifts out in a row
You know they will come for you know
Come my children move on closer
Fuel the fire and feed the flames
Each in turn will pick them up
Feel joy of love just like a glove
Beware sweet lovely’s of the planes
The darkness falls and comes the rain
Be patient, silent laying still
Breath slow and sure and don’t fear life
You choose to walk this stony path
Now live it strong until it must pass

Opens doors like freshest spring
Letting my soul sing from within
I feel your rays shine over me
Showing how it should be
So long it was gone

Waking me full of dread
No more it lingers on in me
This day is new and I can see
My love is seeping in my heart
Just waiting for the day to start

Thoughts
My thoughts are full of one I yearn
Skin tingles as I grow and learn
The smile is wide the touch is full
It makes the blood run singing through
I see them in the dead of night
Hear their voice when Im in plight
When I need them, their they are there
Ready with the words to spare
To know me is to know my world
To step with me can be so full
Testing journeys I dish out
Making Love turn and dought
But thanking in the one that stays
Sits around when I must play
Knows my moods will quickly swing
An soon I myself will be within

PEACE OF MIND
Deep burning emotions running through my veins
Hoping this moment would never wane
I feel your touch against my skin
Feeling the sparks from deep within
You feel deep into my very soul
Knowing all the places that I go
Opening the doors and slaying the beasts
Smiling as you give me peace
You offered hand for me to follow
Beconned me to walk this way
I felt the pleasure in your presence
As our souls drifted into one
My mind it floats, the veil grows thin
You show me of the tools within
When time is right the energy bursts
My lesson this day is of love not hurt

DAPPLED DAY
My heart hangs heavy, my soul devoid
As footsteps walk the path before me
Darkened woods you beckon me
To take these feet and walk within
You open up a glorious show before my very eyes
A carpet of yellow buttercups laid before me
Dancing in the breeze with little flitting faes
Hopping about as you please
My head turns and there it sits watching from afar
Sleek black coat and head held high
Hopping to and forth, I call its name it looks at me
I smile sweetly all the same
5 Magpies I spy a calling me to follow where they go
Fighting and chirping and being busy
Plotting for all we know
As I follow peace falls they hop happily up the path
He follows still, I see him there
With eyes of amber, but not a trill
I smile at chirpy magpies and the magic that they show
Playing in the dappled shade
The smile I feel across my face reminds of the heavy heart
What heavy heart, what soul devoid
I know not what you showed me, I know not where I went
But thankyou for that day and the peace that it has left
Blessed Be

GONE THE PLIGHT
Laying out before me
Opening up its wrath
As if a kassum wide enough
To sink me within its mass
Close my eyes, draw in a breath
In I go, down to the depths
Not so bad once Im in
Not the din contained within
Peace at last
So strange how ones nightmares
Actually are the place we live
Walk their length
Test the sides
Begin to love the doom
And watch it fly
Taking wings for it was never there
Was only waiting just to die
Stretch your legs, and flex your muscles
Now your home, there will be no bussel
Set up comfy chair to side
And quietly watch those who hide.

THE DARK MAN
You stood outside my circle watching from afar
I held open my hand for you and the curtain ajar
Come dance with me I say to you
Come show me what you can do
You may be strong but I am bold
You may be wise but I am old
The dance begins, the sky grows cold
Closing as the music takes hold
Sliding deeper to the core
Feel the heat lick at our feet
The rules prey forgive I forgot to tell
I may take you to the pits of hell
But I rise again to find the next dance
Your eyes turn strange, whats that a tear
O well my dear its all too late

Twilight
Alas the night sky brings me to you.
The twilight in your eyes
And my heart the nightingale
Singing you praises
The sun your warmth
Your smile the pinnacle of the noonday sky
Blinding me with your happiness
The worm diviner of your touch
The silk that makes me reel with your sensation
The prairie the bringer of your scent
The aroma of a thousand flowers
Makes me breathe deep and think of you
This poem is dedicated to my dear friend Sharon Rowell
