I was slow to learnBut I’m thinking I am not alone,And when I came to knowIt was like, EYES WIDE OPEN!How did I miss that one?What just happened?I was so blind sidedFor in that momentI came to know that savioursTravel incognitoNot minding they go unrecognisedNor seeking glory and adoring praise,Rather quietly doing what they must … Continue reading Saviours

Born In The Morning
Born in the morningAs the last stars recedeStanding tall in the vague dawn lightChilled by the breeze before the breaking sunThe world stands newStark in the receding nightThat has left all naked and exposedBefore the descending dayNow the journey of a life has begun Faced with the overwhelming onsetOf knowledge and experience and consciousnessAnd an … Continue reading Born In The Morning
Monday Musing
Monday Pogue, Another week begins full of adventures. Well, as you are aware, I like to read and often pick up random books and articles. I think you’d say my tastes are eclectic and this week I found myself reading an article from a child psychologist who wanted to say that by the age of … Continue reading Monday Musing
Songs To Pogue…What I’m Listening To Now.
Good Day Pogue, Today I’ve decided to send you a sound which is summed up in this song. You see, for as long as I can remember, I have loved the sound made by the Hammond Organ. And no one plays that instrument better than Stevie Winwood. I’ve been playing this song, and the album … Continue reading Songs To Pogue…What I’m Listening To Now.
A Bird
There’s a bird I watch from my windowShe comes day after daySoaring on the up draughtsBorn of stormy windsNever fluttering a wingEasyQueen of the skyNot a care or concern can be seenAnd as Lawrence wrote “I never saw a wild thing sorry for itself A small bird drop frozen dead from a bough without ever … Continue reading A Bird
Monday Musing
How you doing Pogue? So I wrote to you last Monday and when you opened the letter you discovered I’d been reflecting on how children and young people live such a different existence now compared with when I was young. And you let the letter get loose and…I got some responses. In fact more than … Continue reading Monday Musing
Songs To Pogue…What I’m Listening To Now.
Hi Pogue, Just a quick note to share a song with you that I heard on a TV series last week. It’s really laid back and music to…just turn the lights down low with a good glass of wine in hand. Sometimes we all need a little bit of a “laid back” vibe. Have this … Continue reading Songs To Pogue…What I’m Listening To Now.
Close our eyes
We could close our eyesBut would we have to stuff our ears?So the sounds can no longer be heard?And if we did not see,No longer heardThe bullshit that we’re fed as lifeWould we be able to be free,To flourish and grow unhindered.Would the past sink claws into our coatsDragging and clinging,Resisting possibilities of loss of … Continue reading Close our eyes
A Little Magic
Dear Pogue, Having mused on Monday, as is my habit, I came a cross this quote in a feed I take weekly. I felt that it flowed like and from my Monday Musing. It speaks of an alternative world, maybe a better world, a world that is all but lost today. Maybe this is, in … Continue reading A Little Magic
Monday Musing
Hi Pogue, I’ve been doing a lot of thinking this last week or two, mainly spurred on by being with you and your two children. Their world, the world you create and try to protect, is nothing like the world of my childhood. They have Lego, but I had Lego. Difference is, I use to … Continue reading Monday Musing
Songs To Pogue…What I’m Listening To Now.
Another bit of nostalgia Pogue. All the way from the 80’s. Before you were even born😳! But this was a band I liked a lot at the time and for some strange, (sad?), crazy, nostalgic reason I found myself seeking out one of their songs this week. I never know where my brain gets its … Continue reading Songs To Pogue…What I’m Listening To Now.
I take your hand
In the garden moist with rainI walk the path between the treesThat have embraced this wayDown the ages goneAnd as I hold your handKnowing I am completeThis day is made wholeSit with me on the hillShare with me the contemplationLet us be as onePeering into this world and the nextFor now we will understand More … Continue reading I take your hand
Monday Musing
Morning Pogue, Another letter on your door mat from me. Make coffee, find a comfy seat and sit down to read. It’s Monday. Do you ever come face-to-face with your shortcomings? I have been this week and it has made me realise that I’m not the person that I’d like to think I am. I … Continue reading Monday Musing
It’s Not Your Fault
It’s not your fault,I know, I know,It’s not your fault,Yes I understand,It’s not your fault,I feel your pain,It was done to you when,You were, oh, so young,It was pain when you craved love,And the only light was dark,So you’ve sought so much help,To set you freeFrom what’s gone before,Brutal, callous, undeserved. But it is your … Continue reading It’s Not Your Fault
My Curse
Confronted with the issueRequiring an answerI looked from all sides,I turned it inside out,My own knowledge I searchedThe world I referenced,I plundered the outer limitsWhere stars are set to guard wisdom,Then I knew answers and moreOh, so much moreFor my gift was in playAnd I saw everythingEven beyond to the consequencesLike cosmic tumblers falling in … Continue reading My Curse
