Poems

Some poems from the forthcoming book ‘Coming Home’

Summer Days

The hiss and smell wades from the lawn
In shafts of light bring a gold silk dawn
Garden’s explode with colour and light
The white fluffy clouds glide out of sight

So graceful the swans hover and cattle lie
The dust of the harvest melts in a raging sky
As if the hand of nature has turned a key
From the shows, fairs and a lonely sea

Like dancing butterflies across the land
And racing feet across the grains of sand
The sunset greets the stars in so many ways
To cherish the magic of the long summer days

Springtime in the valley

The clouds cascade like fountains and falls.
Out of darkness there comes the light.
The birds sing and rejoice as nature calls.
Springtime in the valley’s a wondrous sight.

Streams and rivers glisten and flow.
The shadows of time have melted away.
Blossoms and colours start to grow.
Springtime in the valley is here today.

Another Sky

The world can be good and bad
Beautiful, magical or sad
I watch the sea glisten in time
And the clouds melt and clocks chime
The Rainbow goes far too soon
And the mist glides across the moon
The wind batters the kites in flight
As natures fights with all its might
Time disappears and just floats by
Tomorrow brings another sky

Waterfalls

The flow of water is like love
Falling like stars from above
Moments in time swish everyday
But the love never runs away
Like the whirl of natures call
My heart beats like a waterfall.

Peace and Love

Peace is a candle in the darkest hour.
Love is the petals that fall from a flower.

Peace is a rainbow arching the sky.
Love is the child that keeps asking why?

Peace is a dove in a sea of blue.
Love is the tide and all that you do.

Peace is a garden, serene and calm.
Love is the hand that grips your palm.

Peace is the sunset that melts away.
Love is the light in a brand new day.
