New Year, …

Farewell

old friend,  

as Father-Time marches on,

a fresh Dawn beckons, 

your reign, it is done.

This New Year cometh, 

proclaiming overall,

good health, love and laughter,

not forgetting Peace, ‘tis your call!

A HAPPY NEW YEAR to one and all, … 🎆 may 2026 be a good year, … 🎆

Christmas, …

Christmas

to me,

means

a time to reflect,

giving a reminder not to neglect,

close family and friends who mean so much

who surround us with love enabling us to touch

the true meaning of Christmas, sharing and giving

not counting our gifts, making sure we’re living

our life as is meant, trying so hard to obtain

Peace on Earth, Goodwill to Everyone,

may that message remain…

A Merry Christmas to all, … And May 2026 be a good year for you, …✨🎄✨

Reflections, …

Gazing at you, 
scanning your face, 
then our eyes meet,  
locked in place.
Holding fast, duelling together.
Reflecting times,

staring in the mirror.

We 
stare eye to eye, 
every day, putting on 
make-up, nothing to say,
a reflection looks back,
’tis my face I know, sometimes 
a connection, a smile starts to grow,
but at others there’s nothing
eyes meet with lips pursed
you’re me, as I’m you but
who’ll look away
first?

Mirror, mirror on the wall, tell the truth or not at all , … ✨

Progression, …

The

 days progress, 

 the time is now 

to show yourself 

you can cope,

somehow. 

Emotions whirl, 

you quell the fear,

cause and effect, 

  decisions aren’t clear.

What’s in store? 

Do we ever know? 

 Facing ever forward,

we choose the way to go.

Pondering, as usual. ….and talking about it, …✨

Shoreline, …

The sheer depth of feeling 

wandering the shore, 

comes as no surprise 

you feel peace once more.

Treading golden sand, 

accepting the seas touch

as waves ebb and flow

the shoreline offers much.

Painting by: Paula Nightingale, ‘Girl on Beach. ‘, …I have two of her paintings, …and love the seashore, so I thought to combine both in the poem. ✨

Travelling, …

Climbing the steps,
to meet your fate,
as The Golden Orb
sits patiently in wait.
Dimension travelling,
time warps and more,
prepare yourself fully,
for whatever’s in store.

Natural Beauty, …

Whilst

reflecting

on perfection

Mother Nature holds sway

with her green on green beauty 

highlighted on this day.

River water free flowing, 

welcoming all to its shore,

connecting flora  n’ fauna, 

encapsulated, evermore.

Forever, …

‘Tis

a flame

like no other

It burns evermore.

Taunting the darkness

giving testament, therefore

without means to smother,

fed by honesty, a just creed, 

all virtues of the World

are the source,

its constant

need.

And it’s warming too, … Which is nice, …have a great Thursday. … ✨

Questioning, …

I sit, ponder,

think and I wonder

forever searching

and trying to find,

the simple meaning of life

and it’s splendour,

are we real or a thought

in someone else’s mind?

Just a thought, …just cogitating, … 🤔

Also waiting for Fall and Rehab team today, (so with no idea what time they’re going to turn up, I got up at 7:30am) I thought it best not to do an audio, … And also give you a chance to rest from hearing my voice, … Hugs aplenty to all, …✨

Flowing, …

Water flowing, carrying leaves on by, 

as memories floating, drifting as you try 

to grasp the present, holding on tight, 

to steady the moment and set things right.
