My homage. I got asked to write a poem for the platinum jubilee celebrations by my manager. My mind running many miles per hour produced this within fifteen minutes as the deadline was QUICK. I always enjoy writing and loved doing this piece too. It says it all. Hope you all like it.

Fearless
Knaresbrough. Exposure and Knowledge is everywhere. Pros and cons are written down. Ticks and crosses on the sheet of paper. Conclusion is reached. Why do we question so much? Why can’t we just go for it? Should friends and family opinions matter? Who is it that we have to answer to? Inner peace can be … Continue reading Fearless
Togetherness
Aysgarth Falls The roar of the waterfalls Lifelessness of the green moss Wind blown tress with bare branches Golden paths of the fallen leaves.

For once it may actually become more vibrant and a more sociable place rather than only based around job and economy. It may … Continue reading Turmoil
Where are you?
Wanted to see you today. Where are you? I thought I heard your voice. Is that you coming up the stairs. I can still smell you on clothes and pillows. Your glasses are still kept on the table. Slippers have not been used for a while. Why did you have to go? I did not … Continue reading Where are you?
Distances
Trees are apart so they can grow well. They spread happiness around them. Growth is better, roots can spread well. Each has its own character, loneliness is not for them.

Remember the twinkles
Life can become so dark some days , do find a twinkle somewhere
