THE AMBLING STREAM
The early morning sun
Glints on the ambling stream
Where the Kingfisher hunts
And lovers go to dream
NEWLANDS CORNER
Newlands Corner
Is one of my most favourite places
I’ve always loved it there
When I look out across the patchwork
Of rolling Surrey Hills,
The chalk grasslands
The ancient woodlands
And the villages nestling there
I feel a deep calm and peace
Penetrating my soul
It’s almost overwhelming
Like the weight of the world
Is lifted from my shoulders
It as if His hand on my shoulder
SOMETIMES THERE IS RAIN
Life cannot always be sunshine
Sometimes there is rain
But when both come together
Then beauty is our gain
As a rainbow is the result
Iridescent in the sky
FALL FESTIVAL
The summer comes to an end
Sooner than anyone believes
And so begins autumns festival
Of dancing painted leaves
LAZY SUMMER
Wildflowers in the meadow
The lark up in the sky
The days are long and languid
The land is warm and dry
The lazy days of summer
Just pass you slowly by
LONG LAZY SUMMER DAYS
Long lazy summer days
Collecting shells along the shore
Long lazy childhood days
I wish them back once more
THE CRUEL SEA
In the sunlight it flatters to deceive
But don’t be fooled by its calm exterior
For beneath the welcoming surface
You will succumb to its true nature
Its lures you into a false sense of security
Its intent is to drag you to its depths
Sap your strength, every ounce of energy
And squeeze from your body every breath
She will let you surface for a breath
Then drag you down again out of reach
Then when she has toyed with you enough
She dumps you lifeless on the beach
The early morning sun
Glints on the ambling stream
Where the Kingfisher hunts
And lovers go to dream
