The Calming Beach
Nothing feels a surreal and at one with life
I walk alone on the beach;
the sand and sea mix,
feels soothing on my feet.
Lifting my head up,
clouds drift at peace
with the summer's day.
People play, walk, sing,
and run with their dogs.
Where am I?
For I don’t want
this relaxing day
to close its splendor away
till morning.
I see kites high up in the air,
so high I am sure they can touch the sun.
Seagulls fly over,
looking for food.
An ice cream van stops,
and children queue for a milky delight.
The sea is far out,
yet I feel I can touch it.
I pick up a beach stone
and caress its smoothness.
I am lucky to walk here
amongst the universal calm.
I close my eyes
and make a wish
for tomorrow to be
a copy of today.
The seaside is heavenly bliss.
How lucky am I
to be a part of all this?

Bonfire Night
Listening to the wood crackle on the bonfire while standing warming one’s self with mulled wine feels like a picturesque story in a magazine. The smell of burning wood and watching the children waving sparklers in the air is a joyful sight. The fireworks lighting up the sky are truly amazing. November the 5th, some love it, others hate it. Me, well I think it’s a lovely evening display that, when it’s over, makes us think of the warmth of family gatherings, twinkling lights, and the next one, Christmas Day. The promise of laughter, the scent of cookies baking, and the soft glow of candlelight fill the heart with hope and cheer. A tree decorated with lights and baubles brings a sparkle to the room, reflecting the joy and love shared amongst us all. Families gathering, bringing and receiving gifts, remembering the birth of our Lord Jesus Christ, fills the air with a sense of gratitude and peace, reminding us of the true spirit of the season.

Center Stage with Paul Stewart
*** I'm keen to republish the interviews I did for my series with Vocal creators. It's been a few years and I thought it might be nice to revisit these wonderful conversations. I'll be releasing them one at a time for a few weeks/months.
