Do it trembling if you must, but do it! - Emmet Fox

Crossroad Having come to the crossroad of my years I am forced to choose between laughter and tears One road is sure to lead to my continuing bliss Another to a great fall down the darkest abyss There is of course one other choice I can make That is to follow my heart even if it be a mistake...

I never waste time looking back - Eleanor Roosevelt

The Pixie In the light of the silvery moon He picked up his flute and played a tune Clothed in the most unusual attire He danced around a pool of fire The moonbeams played on his shoulders As he pranced in between the boulders Soon the children were drawn near Powerful forces bringing them there...

Our power is in our ability to decide - Buckminster Fuller

Doors in the Hallway As I creep along the hallway I ask myself ‘which door today’ If I open the black one what will I find Will it be the memories I left behind? Looking at the choices left to me I choose the brightest colour I can see Turning the handle of the green door I step into the garden and... Sign in to see full entry.

Everything has its beauty, but not everyone sees it - -- Confucius

An Angel Without Wings Within the seas of all the world From all the seasons of all time Out of all the love stories ever told The love of an angel without wings is mine Within all the hearts there ever were From all the happiness ever felt Out of all the years since incest and myrrh The soul of an...

Dreams are only foolish to those who lack them - Peter Reese

Flowing feelings flow like water..... In their physical expression they are water Water is intelligent; regardless of how toxic Or polluted it may become When it is loved, respected and thanked, Surface tension changes on the water droplets Toxins fall away, and the water crystals return To purity,...

I’ve always tried to go one step past wherever people expected me to end up

Beverley Sills This is another poem from my "17" collection, also written for a very good friend who was going through a form of identity crisis at the time.

When you judge another ...

you do not define them, you define yourself - Wayne Dyer We will not be remembered by our words, but by our kind deeds. Life is not measured by the breaths we take, but by the moments that take our breath. Today I wish you a day of ordinary miracles ~ A fresh pot of coffee you didn't make yourself....

The happiness of your life depends on the quality of your thoughts...

Marcus A. Antoninus If If I locked you tightly in my arms Closed my eyes and dreamed a dream Would you succumb to my charms Or fly away from what might have been If I held you in my loving embrace Kissed your eyelids time and time again Would you see the fear upon my face Or blindly turn away from...

Happiness will never come to those who fail

to appreciate what they already have….. Anonymous The Moon Angel of Space and Time Wandering through all space and time The Moon Angel watches over us all Spreading her wings to protect us from harm Invisibly picking us up when we fall She steps across our paths when we stumble Wipes our tears away...

A man who finds no satisfaction in himself

will seek for it in vain elsewhere - La Rochefoucauld Beginnings and Endings Each ending brings a new beginning Each failure is a lesson learned This is life this is called living We learn every time we get burned The happy ending we have foreseen May not always be what we thought The sorrow for...

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)
