In Wonder of Thee
There are moments when the heart feels things so vast and deep that ordinary words cannot hold them. They are feelings as wide as the ocean , as high as the stars and as bright as fire. This poem was written from a place of pure imagination and admiration exploring the idea of a love … Continue reading In Wonder of Thee
“The Unseen Thread”
Welcome back. Following my last post, I want to take you further into the world of 'The Weaver.' For me, this term is a gentle way to talk about the Creator of all things, linking the beauty of nature and our Irish heritage with a higher power. In other words that higher power is God, … Continue reading “The Unseen Thread”
Where Softly the Seasons Turn
Today’s poem uses a new term I’ve wanted to try for a while. My goal is to see if this stylistic experiment works or fails. Poets have often used special names for God or Nature.

Woven Light
On my journey to learn how to compose an honest pure Poem. To start, I set about composing from imagination until it reached a completed phase. I learned that one will over dress a work. It never fully becomes a good poem. One must strip it of all decorative words. These words are devoid of … Continue reading Woven Light
Woodland Walk
As one whose mind wanders often in thought. I so often find myself wandering away to childhood days, in a countryside far away from these bright city spaces. As a country boy I very often cling to dreams of what I call home. That quiet simple country life that suits my heart much easier. This … Continue reading Woodland Walk
The Faithful Fire

Today's Poem should show how much of a success this has been. There had been several situations in recent weeks that helped bring rise to this Poem. Which also … Continue reading The Faithful Fire
On This Road — A Quiet Journey Home
I sat silently at the dining table one morning. Country music was playing via Bluetooth to my hearing aids. Alan Jackson "The Older I Get" was playing. This song took me off in deep thought. I began musing through my own life. Through the rights and many wrongs, from Blessings and deep heartaches, a long … Continue reading On This Road — A Quiet Journey Home
