Fleeting moments
They drift by
Like wispy clouds
In the sky
Present becomes past
In an instant
Our life goes on
Further distanced
Each passing thought
Takes us further
Along the road
Increasing fervour
Challenges come
And they go
Strength increases
Determined flow
Keep the dream
At front of mind
Enjoy the journey
Future defined

They sit and wait
So quietly
For a passerby
To stop
Stories rich and wondrous
Certainly the pick of the crop
Each of them
Are patient
For they know
It won’t be long
A Human will surely stumble by
And help them to belong
At last
A hand reaches out
Pick me, pick me
They say
I’ve been longing for you to stop
As I want to change your day
Now the book
is happy
In comforting hands
they nestle
Rest assured the book will help
The Human to be settled
In time
The book will finish
And be placed
Upon the shelf
Awaiting that future day
When another one needs help
So think
Of your bookshelf
As you
Travel your Earthly course
Visit your books often
They are a priceless resource!

‘You can tell a lot about a person from the books they have in their bookshelf…” A phrase that I have heard many,many times over the years…
These days (with the advent of books available via download) perhaps it is not used as often.
Then there are people who say they ‘don’t read books…’ I’m sad for them because they are missing out on so much!
Back to the initial phrase, though. A quick look at our bookshelves indicates the following topics:
– Art Theory & History, Oil, Acrylic, Watercolour painting, Drawing, Sketching; Calligraphy
– Photography Theory & History, Individual Photographers, Miscellaneous subjects, Cameras
(about 150 books on those aforementioned topics alone)
– Science-Fiction
– Poetry & Verse
– Assorted Novels e.g. Classics, General, Mysteries; Short Stories; Fantasy; Sci-Fi
– Movies
– Fishing
– Books about Books & Reading (yes, seriously)!
– Astronomy
– Music
– General Reference
– Self-Help (needed plenty of that over the years)
– Motivation
– Business
– Management
– Leadership
– Public Speaking
– Communication
– Religion
– Philosophy
– Networking
– Relationships
– Cacti & Succulents and Plants/Gardens etc.
I wonder what the casual observer would make of all that!?

The gentle sounds
They bring forth so true
Take my mind back
To begin anew
They ring in my mind
And in my Heart
Prompting myself
To make a new start
The wind is the player
An instrument so tame
Moving to the tune
Of a different name
As I sit and relax
I am at peace
The chimes are making
Me feel so at ease…

Cherished moments
Each new day brings
Causing our Hearts
To leap and sing
Moments that come
Moments that go
In our daily lives
As we go to and fro
In time and space
Enjoyment of each other
Helps us through
This world of bother
Each day we live
Sharing with all
Living in the moment
Standing tall
Take time to reflect
On such a precious gift
Time on this Earth
Goes oh so swift
Cherished moments
Each new day brings
Causing our Hearts
To leap and sing

I think of times
Not long ago
When a cool breeze
Would set my Mind aflow
Aflow with thoughts
That would relax my being
An experience that was
Indeed most freeing
Freeing the Spirit
Helping me through
Another day gone
Exacting the truth
Truth be told
Planning for the future
Living in the moment
Doing my utmost to secure
Secure in the thought
Holding onto my dreams
Working the plan
Just need to believe

Burning in the distance
A ball lights up the sky
The fire slowly stirring
So pleasing to the eye
Reaching out from within
Light protrudes and settles
Upon the clouds so soft
The light it does so nestle
Sinking slowly in the West
One does not need to imagine
The beauty, the colour and form
Of Mother Nature’s passion!

A Winter’s day
Just sitting in the Sun
Reading a book
Having some fun!
Listening to the sounds
That are about
A certain symphony
Without doubt
The cool breeze
Across my being
So subtle and yet
With much feeling
The smell of cut grass
And the fragrant bloom
Hangs in the air
Like a pleasant perfume
The mind it speaks
In subconscious tones
Giving life to the senses
With no overtones
