BENCH LOOKING OUT TO SEA ON THE KENT COAST
The sun rises
Nature’s light show plays out before me
Daylight reveals highways of the sea glistening on the horizon
Dover to Calais ferries dart between the wake of mammoth container ships
Walkers processionally pass by on their way to The Cliffs
Few pay me attention
An elderly woman with a walking stick stops
She leans on the convenient railings
Bidding me “good morning”

The Ancient Tree
A thousand years or more it’s lived so they say, at least
Centuries before it became guardian for the deceased
These ancient builders of the church all knew
The magical and deadly power of the yew
Locked deep inside the secret of immortality
Pure poison within the yew, result fatality
Sitting in quiet contemplation, “tell me fine tree
A thousand years lived, what did you ...

Summer Rain
To walk in the cleansing summer rain
Nirvana for humans and parched ground
Pine trees, roses, the damp earth
And a thousand other scents
All at once nature ‘s fragrances
Teasing senses with their beauty
Thoroughly soaking wet and caring not
Simple joys of being alive…

If I Take My Leave
If I take my leave of the green green wood
Home to Herne the Hunter and Robin Hood
Sunlight finding its way through the branches…magical
A living breathing ecosystem starting with the botanical
The symphony of nature provided by operatic birdsong
Natural balance perfecting, every creature does belong
If I take my leave of the green green wood
Would it cease to exist? I wo...

Labels
Which style of clothes we choose to wear
Are those designer labels on show there?
Or supermarket jeans with matching top
Did that bag come from an online shop?
Got to dress-up that look, make it “you”
Designer a must, branded training shoe
Myriad of gadgets await our pleasure
How exactly to enjoy our leisure?
Binned phone, new model pride of place
How is it better, ...

Island of My Mind
I would look from my window yonder
Untamed nature
Wild
Waves crashing upon beach
Heart of winter
Gales pounding
Residing here
Pioneering buccaneer
Safe in my sanctuary
Seasons change
I would share this transient place
My island
Wild
Waves lap gently upon beach
Heart of summer
Warming breeze
Growing here
Deeply see and hear
Safe in my ...

Nature Freely Gives
Jack In The Green awakens from his slumber
Spring is upon us, nature in all her wonder
Gaze in awe of rebirth, renewal, fertility
Stood deep in the forest, deep within tranquillity
Robin Goodfellow his mischief to perform
Souring milk, trampling crop circles from fields of corn
Tripping those who into the green wood unwary tread
Laughing, yet another traveller away from p...
