Torbay

The Sun was shining,

A morning in Torbay,

To bask in the rays,

Of this beautiful day,

Looking over golden sands,

Of the bay,

The sea caresses the shore in a romantic way,

Gentle kisses of waves as they break in a

loving way,

With soaring gulls,

Drifting a high,

With a few cotton clouds,

Just floating by............

Paignton Beach

A Castle Fell

To loose a crown,

When a castle fell,

In ruins the kingdom of a heart,

For love fell to one's knees,

Surrendered to the truth,

It was not meant to be,

For the jester's tears,

Seeped,

Laughter lost,

In the darkness,

Now one sleeps.......

 

Spaces

Spaces fill the gaps,

Time fills a void,

Grains of sand falling,

An hour glass draining,

Hands moving,

Clockwise,

Counting minutes,

Effortlessly,

Pass bye,

As a dawn is born,

That day has passed by,

From  yesterday to tomorrow,

The present is a gift,

The gift is the path,

This individual journey,

From the first day,

To the last........

Graced

Graced with the rising Sun,

A new day born,

This day has begun,

With the Sun crossing the horizon line,

Warming rays,

Caress the bay,

With kissing waves,

On golden shores,

With a gentle sound,

Of rolling pebbles,

As the tide,

Lowers with the time,

With shadows coming out to play,

All occurring in a natural way....

Dawn in Torbay

 

Whispering Trees

Whispering trees,

One is listening,

To the words carried in the breeze,

Watching the limbs,

Dancing with the wind,

Music made by the leaves,

With drifting clouds,

Floating by,

High above the canopy,

With daffodils,

A carpet of yellow,

Spread over the woodland ground,

With a chorus of birds,

Flying free,

In nature's play ground,

A waterway runs it's course,

With a flash of blue,

The kingfisher is around,

Angling on his fishing ground....

Morning Born

A new day,

With a morning born,

The start of the week,

A new path found,

With cherry blossom beginning to show,

The first duckling,

Swimming on the pond,

With new born lambs,

Jumping in the field,

Spring is showing,

A lovely time of the year,

Soon it will be Easter,

When a bunny will be hopping around .....

A Duckling

A Robin

A Robin flew to a tree on my path,

This was fate,

It was meant to be,

He sang a song,

In his merry way,

Only a few will understand his words,

This brought joy,

In so many ways,

For as he flew away,

A smile was born,

As I knew I would see him again,

On another path,

On another day.....

Robin 

Sat

Sat on a path,

At the dawn of the day,

Cross roads in sight,

Thinking which way,

To the left or to the right,

Or straight ahead towards tonight,

Can one decide without questioning why,

Sat on a path,

The Sun now high,

Warming rays,

Brighten the sky,

To step with the left,

Or step with the right,

Can one decide before tonight,

Sat on a path,

At the end of the day,

Could not decide,

Decided to stay,

The cross roads now lit,

With a lunar ray,

Maybe tomorrow,

One will find one's way.......

 

Feel The Glow

To feel the glow of the morning sun,

The warming rays,

The start of the day,

To warm a soul,

In so many ways,

That brings a smile,

As one goes along on one's way,

To let the day unfold,

With memories made....

Sun Plant

To Fall From The Highest Heights

To fall from the highest height,

No wings to save one from one's plight,

To hit the ground with all one's might,

Impression made a grave to sight,

To lay there without,

Out a care,

Contemplating the nightmare,

In the darkness of  the night,

But to rise again with the rising sun,

Feeling the warmth of a new day born,

To start again,

In the direction you choose,

For the priority is you,

The Morning Sun

To rise with the morning sun,

This new day has begun,

The glow brings a smile to a face,

Survived the night,

To the light of a day,

A shadow is born,

One is not alone,

To walk beside you,

On the path one takes,

A friend for life,

All the way,

The one who hides in the darkness of night,

But the first to appear when there is light.....

Try To Feel

One tried to feel,

A heart was still,

The rhythm had slowed it's beat,

To feel it still,

It was unreal,

This was not meant to be,

For it felt as if life was on pause,

In conflict with time,

As the seconds fell through the hands,

Just like grains of sand.....

Contemplating one's fate,

On destiny's path one waits,

Until a sign is shown,

That direction is then known,

Feelings of Emotions

The feelings of emotions and the need to bleed,

The ink then flows freely to the page,

Scars were left from the trace of the flow,

For that was where the memories of love

departed on the last kiss that one had known.......

Woman Crying

The Flame

A flame is burning,

The candle is lit,

A carving desire,

Heart and mind in conflict,

From within is now without,

For as above is now below,

For passion is yearning,

For this loving Soul.....

The Start

One started on a path,

A January morning,

The start of the New Year,

The chill was in the air,

The path was challenging,

It was slippery,

One nearly well,

Pausing for composure,

Thinking one's mind,

Taking some time........

That is when one started to climb,

Determination and discipline,

Focus of the mind,

One foot followed the other,

The past was left behind,

To take a break,

Up on the mountain,

Appreciating how far one had climbed,

Country Walk

Dawn To Dusk

Paths don't cross in physical time,

That journey between Dawn to Dusk,

Walking through the days,

Alone,

A foot step at a time,

Distance,

Lengthens,

But in the midnight hour,

You're there with me,

Dancing in mind,

Alive and free,

Together,

That is how it's meant to be,

Gone again,

At the break of Dawn,

Leaving me to walk alone,

With the memories,

The ghost of the past,

That only returns,

When I dream,

Oh,

How I treasure those memories,

And what they mean.......

The Silver Moon

Standing in the light of a silver moon,

A Romeo on a path,

All alone,

Waiting for his Juliet,

She has not shown yet,

Memories triggered by a lunar light,

Shadows pass in the darkness of night,

Dreams will end at the break of dawn,

But thoughts remain all day long....

Romeo & Juliet

The Winter Chill

The winter chill,

Filled the air,

Biting skin with out a care,

The ground was frozen under the feet,

But forward on the path,

The one we seek,

The warming glow,

Began to show,

Through the misty sky,

Which brought a smile upon a face,

As time was shown on the dial,

For you and for me.....

King Arthur 

As Clear As Day

The moon it played with my mind,

Thought of love within a dream,

The name from the past,

Ignited a flame,

Memories of places where we had been,

Visions of a face,

As clear as day,

That first kiss,

Stole my heart away,

Maybe our paths will cross,

On a new dawn,

A new day.........

DAY MOON

 

On A Path

On a path,

The leaves fell down,

Raining golden brown,

To join the brethren, 

On the ground,

To lay there,

Until they rot away,

To become a memory,

Maybe one day,

If others,

Happen to walk this way.....
