When The Snows Came!

This is a scene during February of this year. We were hit by a downfall of snow. The heaviest we've had for a number of years! I took a walk up the mountain forrestry just 10 minutes walk from my home. The views of the valley covered in a blanket of white were awesome! I took a little tumble down one of the slopes on the way home, a human bob sleigh!

It's a peaceful place, while walking through the forrest there was a sense of freedom and one with nature! I felt as though I could have stayed there forever! This is where I take many walks, strolling along with mother nature as my guide!

Who Are You?

Who am I? Who are you?
To know - will we ever do?
We know the present, and the past; but
The future yet has not been cast!
Who do I know?
Me, you, the seed yet to grow?
Our children's great-grandchildren; who will they be?
Offspring that we shall never see!
But you, they may get to know:
Captured in time, in a photo!
What will it be like: For them I mean?
Their lives, their hopes, and their dreams!
Will you be me, in years to come?
The energy in you, could there be some?
Of me, in you, to carry my life on;
Or does it all end when my life is done?

An Enigma?

This skin, this flesh, this blood and bones,
Is that I - Mr Jones?
Is it I, or something else?
A spirit. A soul. Energy. Or just a sense?
A sense of perception; am I real? Or,
Just an illusion that can feel?
Do we really know who we are?
In time, in space, or from afar?
Afar, in our minds, maybe we know; but
Are blinded when we begin to grow!
To find the truth do we look too deep?
The secrets may lie within our keep!
Are they meant to be found? Or,
Are they meant to evolve? -
A question, we may never solve!!
