Midnight Blue
The satin blanket of night
With it's silky silence
Wrapping whispers around
My head
Tucking in my dreams
Clicking out the light
Of reality
To reveal the depth of desire
The soon to be forgotten future
Cosy with the pervasive past
In the twisted landscape
Of perception
Where unicorns dance
Where unseen monsters lurk
A place where lost love blossoms
And fears manifest
Under the rainbow of dreamland
Real

Not Much Better Than Narnia
The day Lucy found the wardrobe
Was the day her adventure began
Tumus the faun befriended her fast
The Pevensie’s escape from air raids
Lead them into the magical world of Narnia
C.S. Lewis published six adventure stories
From 1950 to 1956
If these names are familiar –
Trumpkin, Reepicheep and Puddle-gum the Marsh
You have probably met and loved Aslan the lion.
Why not

A Conversation With Aslan
“Aslan, why does the sun shine so bright in Narnia?” I queried.
“My friend,” the big lion told me, “it is a light that is unwearied.”
“Why must we all feel so full of this darkness, dear Aslan?”
“The dark shadows fall away once you repent to the Son.”
“Dear Aslan,” I whispered quietly, “when will I know true

Colour - ::Published::
The joy I find in colour
This extraordinary thing
Tiny backstreets shout with vigour
Freeing prison walls to sing
When the streetlight slowly flickers
On our lifeless habitat
The creative human passion
Has to put a stop to that
Sweeping through the streets of dullness
All the litter and the dust
Bringing hope back to the hopeless
Recall our heritage, we must
We're

Ode To Narnia
All the animals were in sync
Whispering, singing
And speaking with such ease
They rejoiced in the light
Of the fresh dawn
And the caress of the moon
They lingered in the winds
Of laughing pleasures
Soothing away worries and depression
They warmed themselves by fires
Of inspiration and joy
Dancing on the passion of excitement
They bid the stardust nights
A enchanted reception
Dawdling in the shimmer of

Aslan
And so the mane-less lion sleeps...
His gnarly crown removed from view.
His kingdom paused for me.
And you.
And while we weep in sheer despair..
a secret yet discovered there..
The moss of time cannot disguise.
The love uncovered in His eyes.

Cs Lewis
His ingeniously crafted Narnia glows
With so many wise and amazing prose
Love shining brightly through its text
So very eager for what comes next
This beautifully written tale’s foundation
Brought my own heart so much adoration
The lessons within its astonishing pages
Reminding me that this story truly engages
I was blessed to read it all word for word
And it was a

My Allotment Narnia
Through the gate and into another world
Leaving my cares on the outside
Breathing in the air of my sanctuary
That’s where you’ll find me,
When life feels hard to bear.
Hands deep in the soil
The rich smell filling my mind
Feeling the cold earth between my fingers
That’s where you’ll find me,
When life feels hard to bear.
Talking to the chickens
Stroking their
