The Golden Beach

The path it led to a golden beach,

Rich it was under one's feet,

To walk along the golden shore,

Rich in shells,

Washed ashore,

There one sat,

Counting the waves,

The day it went,

As the waves kissed the shore,

Ten thousand or more did one count,

Before the day was no more,

As the Sun went down......

The Chapter's End

A page it was turned,

To a chapter's end,

No other words,

Inscribed upon that page,

The actor numbed,

Static up on the stage,

Stood on show,

For all to see,

Waiting for lines,

A script to read,

Paused in action,

While others are free,

Frozen in time,

Waiting for a new chapter,

To begin,

As the hands,

They move to a seconds beat,

The time it passes,

A day,

A week,

There on stage,

One on show,

Patiently,

The actor waits.............

Emotional Fall

The emotions fell,

Like a waterfall,

Diving into a pond,

Where memories stirred,

By the current,

For agitated visions,

Rose from depth,

Of the times and places,

Where one drowns in regret.......

Behind The Curtains

Behind the curtains,

One practices ones lines,

For entering the stage of the day,

All ways on time,

Under the rays,

In the spot light one bathed,

But behind the smile,

A heart is breaking,

Of an immortal soul,

With open scars,

That don't seam to heal,

Forever weeping,

As a jester,

One plays one part,

As the matinee of the day ends,

One takes a bow,

As the curtains draw,

One prepares,

Prepares for tomorrow,

With an open heart........ 

A Rhythm It Sings

The beats of the heart,

A rhythm it sings,

Pumping faster when one speaks your name,

Cupids arrow hits a mark,

In the centre of a heart,

A lovers eyes make it weak,

For singing in tune,

Another rhythm is heard,

As it sings,

Answering a song, 

With the same lyrics it has heard,

In harmony the romance begins,

Rolling Clouds

Rolling clouds,

Over shades of green,

With multiple colours of heather,

Mixed within,

With rugged rocks,

Forming formations,

Cairns created in the most unusual places,

With standing stones,

Placed in lines and circles,

With sleeping giants,

On top of Tors,

Moorland streams,

Running their courses,

With rambling ponies,

Flocks of sheep,

Herds of cows,

Who just roam around,

That is what Dartmoor is all about.......

I am Nothing

I am nothing,

Nothing I am,

Not worth a thing,

But nothing has value,

For it's worth everything...........

Sun Set

As the sun goes down,

It's the end of the day,

The memories of today,

Will be remembered one day,

As the imprints made,

Over time will wear away,

But the journey on the path,

The direction taken,

Will never be the same.......

Fork In The Road

Rustling Leaves

Rustling leaves,

In the moonlight,

Glistening in the lunar ray,

On a moorland,

A tree is isolated away,

One sentry,

Guarding a gateway.......

Once Upon A Time

Once upon a time,

A new day was born,

It ended yesterday,

With the dawn,

The Sun it rose,

It was a beautiful sight,

It graced the day,

With delight,

For the present moment,

Was in the ray of light,

A new way was found,

From the darkness of the night,

Strength was found to take a step,

Forward on a path,

One ploughs ahead,

When Horizons Meet

Two horizons meet,

Like starring eyes,

Through the clouds,

The crowded room,

They see you,

You see them,

The ignition of a flame,

You both believe in..........
