Paddy Scott Hogg Poems

Beneath the Heavens' perfect blue
My life I'd dedicate to you
Walls of happiness circle round
In Trust and Peace are comforts found.
...

When worldly cares and woes beguile
Take me to the Sea a while
There in silken splendour deep
Gather peace a heart to keep.
...

Are stolen fruits the most exciting?
Down on you with tongue delighting
As a butterfly lands on a flower
Then rough and wild hour on hour
...

EVERY RIVER MUST FIND ITS OWN WAY TO THE SEA
LIKE THE SOUL AND THE SPIRIT SEARCH TO BE FREE
THERE’S A VOICE IN THE GALE & A CANDLE BURNS BRIGHT
A PATH THROUGH THE DARKNESS, A LIGHT IN THE NIGHT
...

Grey mists of a morning;
Wild Winter’s adorning,
All forest, woodland and sea.
Black clouds on the headland
...

Water in crystal goblets form
Fall into a silky sea
Effervescent rays spread out
Atoms pulse through me
...

The golden sun sets o’er the sea
Across the sand you walk with me
The stars begin to fill the skies
You are the Heaven in my eyes
...

The sun sinks golden o’er the sea
The stars begin to sparkle bright
Across the sand you walk with me
That wave enchanted summer night
...

No more will we stumble and fall
On the sand at Portobello beach
Rolling in laughter
In love and in happiness.
...

Far sweeps the Westwinds' wailin' sigh
Chargin' clouds race 'cross the sky,
Tempest'ous in rampage:
First rain, then sleet, then hail and sna'
...
