Does This Sum Up The UN?
This is a very short, poetic clip and I can’t help thinking nothing has changed since this was first shown!

Betrayal
Some memories bring comfortothers might make you smile.The ones I had today were painful,I hadn’t had them for a while. They go back to a timewhen happiness should have been shared,instead I was left out,I was hurt and no-one cared. It wasn’t even the first timethis group had forgotten me.But the pain is still so…

One Frosty Morning
The house is quiet,as the new rays of daybounce off the snowy roof tops outside.The sky, I realise, is chaos.Alive with birds, frantic flying.All talking at oncein feathered communication.Every surface, diamond coated,as the night’s frost keeps hold.The frigid air forms iciclesin my lungs with each deep breath.Fresh, clean and sharp.There’s an excitement:In the air?In the…

Be Still
Be still, my mind. Stop trying to make sense where there is none to be found. Switch off that constant stream of words, images and sounds. Let the emotions go, like a child’s balloon, into the sky. You have no need to hold on any longer. Close the shutters. It’s time for rest. Stop all…

Counts on it
Darkness. Always so dark. Enveloped in the mists of time. No steps are heard on the cobble floors, no laughter rings out across the large, empty rooms. Webs strewn like confetti at a wedding of the dead. The Castle sleeps. He sleeps. Waiting. Knowing. And as the Mother Moon reaches her heights his bloodshot eyes…

SILENCE
To sit and appreciate silence. Noises all brought down to naught. Allowing time for reflection allowing time for thought. A modern day extravagance A dream so many hold, to sit and appreciate silence and ponder on times new and old. A state one dreams of achieving, a situation so seldom found. To let thoughts form…

The Biggest Compliment
We worry, us parents, don’t we? The future brings such anxiety, even today brings concerns: Does he sleep enough Is the food healthy Am I making the right choices What else should I do What should I stop doing? On and on the record plays in our heads. So one day I thought to ask…

The Horse
On the hill, in the distance as the sun’s rays poured on the land. Regally overlooking his admirers while standing out for his own brilliance. A horse. The white horse, needing no knight nor shining armour. Dazzling in his own beauty, an outstanding reminder of natural good. A fleeting moment never forgotten. Burned into my…

The Siren
The song of the siren wails in the distance. And yet, even now when it is heard backs shiver, eyes dart and all minds thinking the same – ‘Please let it pass’. For a moment, just a brief moment we are all the same. Children listening, imitating the high tuneless pitch. The young harshly reminded…

The Power of a Hug
If I’m angry and say things I don’t mean If I’m sad but can’t explain why The day my workload has overwhelmed me Or if I look like I need to cry If I tried my best but it failed When I’m so tired I tell you ‘I’m done’ On those days you know I…

To All The Mountains
Can I say majestic, would that be enough? To describe all of your beauty and challenges we love? Some will risk their life so they’ll see all of you; to climb your rocky perils and marvel at your view. Others will take pictures or paint or sculpt or draw. The one thing we all share…
