When I find the lost that I knew
I’ll smile
And let my heart
Smile too.

Hope you’re right
Hope not left in the heart of distress.

Maybe tomorrow
I can be laughing in the midst of endless.

Seldom do you see
Different species fight
Like you, like me
Seldom
Seldom do you see.

Holding close
being in the beauty of it
all.

Losing nothing, saying less
cause we are part of the picture
overall.

Saluki ~ Watercolour by PatriceMy heart grows old
With stories that are told
Snuggled in a soul
That will never, ever
Grow old.

Feeling Mixed

May 27, 2020

Parker2 Painting ~ Watercolour by Patrice

Feeling mixed
And
Feeling strange
Grapple with the concept
Never knowing how
The game is played.

Truthfully told
But not explained
I listen in awe of those
Who have been
And
Those who came

I Have To Hear The Singing

May 12, 2020

Wood Smiles and Sad ~ Photo by Patrice

I have to hear the singing of the song
To believe
To move forward
Not look back nor doubt
Where the words come from.

That’s the only job that’s mine
Must breathe the words
Embrace the rhyme
Never forgetting they’ve come to me
At just the perfect time.

I am here and you can’t see me
I’m hiding
Hiding in normalcy

Beauty Is What I Behold

April 27, 2020

Teddy at the farm ~ Photo by Patrice

Beauty is what I behold
When looking out
Onto the board expanse
Nothing but beauty to behold.

My eyes see fields, meadows
Hills and lovely valleys
Where creatures big and small
Live, loving all.

As I lay my head down tonight
I’ll once again
Behold these images of beauty
In vivid dreams throughout
This, my sleeping night.
