THE WONDER OF IT ALL

What drives the wind and where does it go?
Its very own call how does each creature know?
...

TIME

I've been looking at a bowl of water
placed for the birds to bathe and drink.
...

TODAY SEPTEMBER 2017
We're approaching a drought, there's been no rain
The farmers are saying there'll be no grain
Prices will rise but supply isn't there
...

WHAT IS LIFE WITHOUT A HOME

What is life without a home?
A refuge, a sanctuary to call your own.
...

WHEN ALL OF LIFE IS SAID AND DONE

When all of life is said and done
Defeats are lost and victories won
...

YOUTH AND AGE
Fast and slow days come and go
Treasure and dross the hours are lost
Youth and age the turning page
...

AND HERE IS THE NEWS -- TO NAME A FEW August 2016

Anytime soon, going and moving forward on the ground,
at this point in time, in this day and age, I myself, personally
...

SEASONS GREETINGS
The gum trees are all swaying in the western wind that's rising.
The temperature is increasing and it's really not surprising
As for us the time is summer, compared to Bethlehem
...

CHRISTMAS 2021

No snow to feel while out dancing
No reindeer to see when out prancing,
...

CHRISTMAS 2020

With joy we all treasure the miracle of birth
And celebrate the arrival of a new life on earth.
...

At Christmas.

When is the best time to visit Bethlehem some people ask
The weather's colder and snow can add an icy blast
...

A Christmas Poem

We measure time in days, months, and years.
And as each one passes new beginnings do appear.
...

AND SO TO BED

Must I surrender to the night
that all encompassing dark light?
...

COME DANCE WITH ME

Come dance with me,
Let us move like the leaves up in the trees
...

COME WALK WITH ME

Come walk with me in the early morning mist
before the sun awakes and the dawn can break.
...

AND SO TO BED

Must I surrender to the night
that all encompassing dark light?
...

ECONOMIC RATION

I didn't live through The Depression,
But I've seen boom and bust recession,
...

FOOD FOR THOUGHT

Consider food.
...

I GOT THIS LETTER

I got this letter in the post,
The kind we fear and dread the most.
...

LIFE PERSPECTIVE

I've heard teachers and orators
Say things they think profound.
...

The Best Poem Of Reginald Reid

There Are Many Wonderful Mysteries In The World

THE WONDER OF IT ALL

What drives the wind and where does it go?
Its very own call how does each creature know?
How does the cloud know when it should make rain?
Who taught the flowers about the season of Spring,
the bees to make honey and put the brilliance in bling?

What made the land separate from the seas?
Who invented these things we call trees?
How do birds know that they know how to fly?
Why do some good things last just for a while?
What is the power and endurance of a smile?

Who taught the waves where they ought to roll?
Where in a person is the essence called soul?
Where do the stars go when they fall from the sky?
Who can reveal the mystery behind the passing of time?
Why do some people simply follow a sign?

Why does a pet offer unswerving devotion?
Why are our lives driven by irrational emotion?
Who put the magic in a small child's smile?
How does sunlight on water sparkle each day?
Where does the mist go when it fades away?

How did the first one know chocolate can be eaten
and eggs can make omelettes when they are well beaten?
Why is silence so devastatingly loud?
Where is the edge of the universe to be found?
How does a seed know to grow when it's placed in the ground?

What drives us on with incredible pace
to advance our position as the human race?
How did we become just you and me?
Love overcomes hatred that's the one thing I know.
Light shines in darkness, love's not some feeble glow.
