STAIRWAY TO HEAVEN We are all born with one step On the stairway to heaven With dreams hopes and desires A zest for life unbounded As we grow we are taught And we learn Slowly but surely we lose our step We stumble, we fall With no hands to guide us We remain half way up Or half way down Worse still...

Depart from evil and do good; seek peace and pursue it." Psalm 34:13-14 (NKJ) Green Goddess She wanders through the woods Alone and aloof Aware of her emptiness The green Goddess This place is her domain Where she searches in vain Her soul mate must be somewhere here Always so close but never near...

Every artist dips his brush in his own soul, and paints his own

About this Blog

This is where I will be writing and posting my poetry - a lot of which was written between the years of 17 - 19 (I am now 50!!) I have only just found the urge to do something with these poems and have started adding slowly to my collection - I hope you like them (I'm still feeling my way here)
