Saw you standing there
quiet and lonely girl
eyes met
a smile came too
hello
how are you

Simple introductions
are the best
talk softly
shyness is not easy
too
overcome at all

Two lives at a distance
maybe friends
who can tell
when you left
on that evening
all was not well

Someone's careless words
made you uneasy
i could see the hurt
lying
in your eyes
that night

Maybe you saw
maybe you knew
shyness and pain
but you are not alone
i am just like you
lonely shy guy too.

LOVE IS, TREATING
PEOPLE DIFFERENT
LOTS OF KINDNESS
GENUINE

LOVE IS, TREATING
HER WITH RESPECT
DO NOT HURT HER
GENTLY GO

LOVE IS, TREATING
HER WITH AFFECTION
WARMTH AND HUMOR
TENDERLY

AS IN ALL WE DO
LET IT BE TRUE
LOVING AND REAL
SO OFFER TO HER
FROM YOU

What a sight this is
what a place to be
can you see the light
falling down on me

step into a world
where the light beams bright
chase away your fears
in the morning light

bathe in the sunlight
you and heaven alone
dress yourself in white
purity so bright

dazzle me in my soul
light of the world
falling to earth

immerse me now
in such awesome scenes
in my field so green.

The train left the station
to England the south west
the scenery and journey
must rank amongst the best
through devon into cornwall
she sped along that day
journey that would through
dawlish and its bay
the red cliff clay
exposed to view
neath the grass on top
it was the very
kind of place
one would just
love to stop
but the engine
in rythymic sounds
the rails upon the track
and all i ever saw
of dawlish bay
was when i did look back
the train rolled on past
the deep blue sea
beside the longer shore
tunnels welcomed
us as well
as if not be undone
and when we had entered
we lost that smiling sun
soon out we sped along
this paradise by the sea
glimpses of yesterday today
as i watched it on dvd
bringing back the memories
of a 1960s teen
travelling the south west
to dawlish and a dream.

Sunday morning 1965

Sunday morning in the country
hear the birds the dawn chorus sing
breaks the silence of a new day
wondering what the day will bring

church in the village standing tall
hear the sound of bells a ringing
as they welcome and they call
all to come and worship their God

spirit in
the soul of all
open eyes
as day begins

survey this house
in which
you dwell
see its need

refresh
restore
with hope
and purpose

to brighter moments
sunny days
goodbye dense mist
and violet haze

as on the
grassy bank
to lie
or crispy sand

quiet valley
silent hill
look for peace
pursue it still

let the world
go gently by
if only for
a little while

that quiet place
of solace find
to calm the soul
and ease the mind

in a world of
haste and speed
to draw aside
is such a need

MORNING INVADES

SHADOWS SLIP AWAY

UNTIL ANOTHER NIGHT LIKE THIS RETURNS

How can you describe love
so many of us try too
is she a hand in glove
or someone ever true

Love is so much more
than one first surmises
when she knocks at your door
expect some suprises

Love real love will give
love real love is strong
she knows how to live
she knows whats wrong

She can be the balm
to heal a wounded soul
tranquil and calm
she will make one whole.

Some people say
fight fire with fire
but i do not agree
fight fire with water
it may get put out
very possibly


as to application
fire are
arguing words
water is
the softer reply
we can try

You are blown
by the wind
air currents
touch your soul

you resist
as best you can
but blown
you ve become

dig your heels
hold your ground
you have worth
you have value

though many
will just laugh
reject and deny
your essence

seems like
the battle ground
are the words
all around

rejection
disregarding
making fun
causing pain

cold shoulder
not accepted
such winds
have these names

but no matter
what they say
worth and value
have come to stay

In this life
of trouble and care
working daily
our passage through

simple people
hearts of gold
stories hidden
stories told

should life
press you down
should life
lose its joy

come and see
nature invites
come aside
weary one

come and wash
your soul anew
bathe your eyes
with such a view

mighty mountains
high and wide
down the valley
let them glide

nature speak
calm to all
show us peace
and waterfall

come aside
weary soul
rest a while
in nature's arms

Reach
stretch your hand
for someone
when your blue
never stay afraid
never be alone
there are people
who would want
to reach for you


don't give in
don't give up
don't go under
hold on
or reach
for a friend
always someone
will be there
be it people
or God
someone will care

don't give up
you are too
valuable to lose
