Stay a while my friend lest the dust settles And the grasses revive, grow over The old footpath we wonder along In the forgotten woods full of weary trees...

Voyage to the Frontier
by Pete Scopes
15/12/2011
I have arrived at the forefront Before me lies a blank canvas A deep gorge to be explored Intricate mysteries to be uncovered Only there is a blindfold over my eyes The horizon is but a thought Limited yet as wide as I dare it Each step could take me over...

by Pete Scopes

Wide awake we dream tonight About the elephants taking flight Broken statues in empty squares Playing their lyres for dancing bears Soaring beasts swiftly gracing Prancing bears tirelessly pacing...

Trapped in my Imagination
by Pete Scopes
01/11/2010

In Dreams
by Pete Scopes
01/03/2010

20/02/2010

The Big Oak Tree
by Pete Scopes
19/05/2009
