I Understand

September 13, 2017

I understand
I must be truthful, honest
And
Of course full of courtesy.

My question is… 

Does that entitle me
To a blessed life
Or
One that’s just ordinary?

Whimsical And Saddened

September 7, 2017

Whimsical and saddened
I feel and touch
The gladdened
The ones left to guide
To show the heart
The way
The trodden path
The journey
On which I need to go
Today.

Please Let Me

September 6, 2017

Vince's Border Terrier ~ Watercolour Art by Patrice

Please let me

Be friendly
Not bitter nor condescending
Let me see beauty, dignity
In the world that surrounds me.

Please let me

Give help
To those that need
Strength to ones
Who are weakened.

Please let me

Show vision
To those whose minds
Are imprisoned.

Please let me.

Smug, Complacent

September 5, 2017

Snake and bone ~ Photo by Patrice

Smug, complacent
Morally wrong
Stepping over
Standing on
Those that helped you
Get where
You don’t belong.

See me.

I’m Amazed And Mystified

August 31, 2017

Big Sky ~ Photo by Patrice

I’m amazed and mystified
The way the world turns
And magnifies
All goodness inherent
On the earth
And up in
The clear, blue skies.

I am amazed, I’m mystified.

Angry

August 22, 2017

Tiger ~ Illustration by Patrice

Furious and bitter
Mad and angry
Hate the controlling people
Who try to control
Me.

Their ashes and residue
Spewing forth
Needless discord, no harmony.

Angry

I’m angry
Angry at me.

If you were content in today?

The sky is beautiful
My gaze sees magic beyond belief.

Wishing for nothing
For I have all I need.

Sounds Of The Earth Turning

August 1, 2017

Wild Horses ~ Scratchboard Illustration by Patrice

Sounds of the earth turning
Turning round
No disconnect, no what the heck
Just moving, slowly moving
Going round.
