The Journey

A poem by me.

The Journey

We have travelled far
Yet Still we can’t stay
Sailing among stars
Across the Milky Way

Travellers in the night
Cosmic nomads are we
Following a path
Across a starry sea

Forgotten is our home
We have journeyed long
And all we have left
Is an echo of a song

.

A song of peace and hope
A song of love and light
Ancient song will guide us
Across the seas of night

Memories of a place
We have been before
Star clouds hide our way
On a distant misty shore

Across the cosmic sea
Ancient song a beacon send
To guide us across the dark
And to our journey’s end

Bee on a Flower

 

The flower in this picture is Centaurea montana.

The bees like them and I managed to get a picture of one having a drink.

Love the colour of these flowers, look very jewel like. Cornflowers are from the same family as is Knapweed.

This is from my sisters garden.  As I live in a flat I have no proper garden although there is a small area of grass and some flowers out the front.

It would be great if our grass verges and grassy areas could be covered in wildflowers and not mown down all the time.

Our towns and cities would be better places if we had more nature in them.

Let the grass and flowers grow.Screenshot_2017-06-07-21-59-33

Sunset Clouds

It has been a very hot day in Cardiff.  It’s cooling a bit now.

I put some water out for the birds. The hot weather is no doubt hard on them. Hopefully it will have helped a bit.

Noticed these Cirrus clouds gracing the evening sky.  As a child I knew them as Mares tails and still like to call them that, just as I like to call the white crested waves, Neptunes horses.

Rose Bud

This picture was taken in my sisters garden.

She has a beautiful garden with a lot of wildlife and lovely flowers including a number of rose bushes. I noticed that one of the rose buds had a drop of water on it.

The picture isn’t brilliant but I thought it looked rather nice.

As an added bonus her roses are wonderfully scented.Screenshot_2017-06-07-21-58-35

Rainbow

Took this picture of a Rainbow a few weeks ago. Despite knowing what causes a Rainbow I still think that they are a wonderful and beautiful sight.

I find myself stopping to look at one even though I’ve seen so many and I have so many pictures I’ve taken over the years.

The science behind them is fascinating yet I also see the beauty in them too.

Nature is amazing. It’s all around us.  Yet some people don’t notice what is in front of them.
