Nothing Really Happens Til

February 27, 2019

Nothing really happens
Til something moves
Takes control.

Nothing really happens
In the morning bright
Til eyes open
Letting in streaming sunlight.

Nothing really happens
Til words are spoken
From a mouth open
Speaking things we need to know.

Nothing really happens
Til feet move
Heeding the mind’s signals
And control.

Nothing really happens
Til we let Mother Nature
Let nature have the reins
And we let go.

Looking Back, I See Ahead

February 4, 2019

Aggy and the Wall

Looking Back, I see ahead
The twists and turns
I must not fear nor dread
The world will come
And be before my feet
It’s up to me to go forward
To find, to seek.

How Do I Know

How do I know, know what to do
How do I know
Please tell me the path
The best way
The right things to do.

I’m not alone, can’t be alone
For everything, all that I know
I know you’ve told me
Everything
I’ve needed to know to do.

Filtered Sunlight ~ Photo by PatriceWhat has happened?
What will be today?
No one telling’
Just moving, moving on their way.

Couldn’t hear directions
Couldn’t see the way
Couldn’t, couldn’t remember my journey
From that other day.

Must trust the Master
Must believe, believe he’ll guide me
On this that is
My journey’s way.

Where are we going?
How long will we stay?
Are our friends coming with us?
Is our life in disarray?

No answer to these questions
No words will make the wrong okay
All I can do is wonder
Cause tomorrow will bring answers
I’m asking for today.

Pleading With Myself

January 16, 2019

Spike ~ Watercolour Art by Patrice

Pleading with myself, I said 

— Be careful —
Step slowly with a definite purpose
Leave no one behind
Deny not the living kind
Express yourself with love and kindness
Saying nothing but the best
Then laugh and let it be
Let it rest.

Life Is A Joy

Life is a joy
Nowhere is there room
For sadness
Heartache nor doom.

If you see that
All comes to be
Just what
Just what you need.

New Year, New Time

New year, new time
Let the drum rolls roll
Let the beginners keep time
Sacrifice nothing
Bow to no one
Stand on your own feats

Being kind

It’s a new year
In a different time.

Dearest and sweetest thoughts
Enter my mind today
Let them carry me thru the New Year
And onward
To each and every
Passing day.
