Coming soon 'LIVING UNDER THE SAME SKY' a book of Wolves Poetry

A DREAM A VISION

It’s all here in my hand

Sitting softly, gently

Looking up at me

The look of wonder

You are howling to me

I can see the sadness

Nothing is gladdening

Nothing is happening

One day my friend it will all end

Your sorrows, your pain

Your anguish

I feel it too

Right here within my heart and soul

Beside me stands a lone wolf

Upright

Tall and strong

Alert and observant

Aware of what is going on

He is keeping a vigil

Guarding

He knows

His senses alert

Ears pricked forward

Is this his kith and kin?

That has yet to be born?

A messenger from the other realm

The swirling clouds encircling

The night sky, azure blue

All that I see is

The brightness of the light

That is in the palm of these hands

And the rainbow

Maybe just maybe

This dream and vision

Will happen one day

Maybe!

Hope is eternal

For now I hold this vision

This dream

I know what needs to be done

Can you trust me?

There is much work to be done

Time is not on your side

This where we come in

We feel it all

We will do our best

We will fight, we will be heard

We are your voice, we are the moment

Right here and now!

DANCING TO THE FLUTISTS SONG

In a land so far, far away

The tune is so light and airy

Just like the fairy

The tune so light, so bright oh it is all right

That it is shining in the sky above

The sky an azure blue, oh such hue

Everyone dancing, even the horse is prancing

Way up there in the sky so high

The butterflies have spread their wings, oh such a thing!

Their golden wings revell

ing in the notes so clear

Even the petals of the flowers seem to be fluttering

With the flutes tune down on the ground amongst the

Grasses and trees, oh what a sight to see

The swishing, swaying, capering and gamboling sheep

Who are normally asleep!

But what is this?

There is boat in the sky, sailing by oh why?

Has the flutist got them in tune?

Riding the crest of the wave, way up there in the sky

There are giggling children, smiley faces in all the right places

Even the planets seem to be racing by and round and round

Leaving beautiful traces of gleaming, teeming, streaming wondrous trails behind

The flutist and her merry tune has everyone singing and dancing

Dancing and singing in a magical, mystical world

A TIME FOR CELEBRATIONS

A TIME FOR CELEBRATIONS

The harvest is reaped

No tears have been shed

The earth

And the Creator

Shone down

On his creation

All has not be lost

Through the winds

And the frosts

All is as should be

Food

Water

For all the family

The sharing

The caring

For kith

And kin

Children

The young

And the old

Joyous

Celebrations

For that is done

And shall be done

NOT THAT FAR AWAY #poetry nomination

NOT THAT FAR AWAY

Not That Far Away

One shining star

Shining your own light

Up there on the stage

And silver screen

Watching in the wings

Never saying a word

Not my world

Yours my shining star

Then the tables turned

You were watching

Following

Events, situations

All the way through

Heck you scared me almost to death

Now I hear those three little words

And you have mine

So now what happens?

What has changed?

Or has it?

No judge or jury

Can fix this one

Or can they?

Not a chance!

This world has changed

From this date on

I am scared

Upside down

Inside out

So afraid

Time to come out in the open

No more up there either

And the using the in-betweeners

So please get on that flight

And come here to me

So that we can speak

Face to face

Do the right thing

Either ring or knock that door

No more messing

Any more

I love you too

Have done for more than you will ever know

COMING SOON 'Simply Magical' A book of poems for Children or a Gift for a new born child and mother

IT IS WHAT DREAMS ARE MADE OF

Fairy tales without the puppy dog tails

Fairy tales of long, long ago

Fairy tales when the dreams just flow and flow

Fluttering their golden wings here and there

Her wings so thin that they may break

But never fear they are too strong,

The tips of her wings like the Peacocks

Oh how they shine, oh divine

The magical, mystical little fairy girl

Her hair a golden, golden gleaming colour

She has made a daisy garland that adorns her head

She is the fairy of the land of nature

This little fairy girl holds what is so dear

The trees and all its leaves, the branches reaching

Tall and thin, the trunk so sturdy that it shall not fall

The grass so green, clean and clear

Within her hands she holds a doll

This doll is exactly just like her

Her dress an electric blue, oh what a hue!

When the night falls the stars do shine

Bringing much laughter that is yours and mine

They twinkle, sparkle from heavens divine

If you watch carefully, very carefully

They will be dancing a very happy tune

But these aren’t just twinkling stars oh no!

They are the magical, mysterious, and mythical

Fairies dancing just for you in your midnight dreams

Blurb:

Voices in my Head
Talk all of the time
To music I feel
They add rhythm and rhyme

Emotions take flight
Grief, despair and love
Heart seeks to find hope
On wings of a dove

Their view of this world
Both nature and man
New angle embellished
To help understand

Walk for a minute
In other guys shoes
See why they might feel
So lost and confused

Dreams, flights of fancy,
Sarcasm and light pun
Work through frustrations
To friendship and fun

Open myself wide
Feel pure empathy
See how this world could
With love, truly be

Listen with your soul
To songs that I share
May see way to change
This world if you dare
