Everything

September 29, 2015

2 Best Friends ~ Watercolour Painting by Patrice

Everything is quiet
Everything is nice

But

Everything is not ok
Everything can’t be nice

Hold the past in your arms
Embrace the future
With unprecedented charm

Then

Everything is ok
Everything is without harm

Live the present
Moving thru the past
Holding the future in a grip
That will forever last

Yes

Everything is quiet
Everything can last.

Stay For The Day

September 23, 2015

Rotti Pup and Fawn ~ watercolour Illustration by PatriceStay for the day
Don’t wander, falter in anyway
Sacrifice your heartache
Throw out those that naysay
Stay in the hour
In the moment
Every second, everyday
For all time

Today.

Whatever Happens

Whatever happens maybe extreme
It doesn’t mean
I have to accept it or labour beneath it’s screams
Of hurt, anger and unnecessary demeans.

Calm Has Come

September 16, 2015

Costa Rican Calm ~ Photo by Patrice

Calm has come
Stopped the siege
No one knows
Nor cares why.

Bow my head
Hear it now
Blending
Softness into song.

To the world
Nothing’s changed
Yet I know nothing
Will be the same.

Definitely

September 15, 2015

Definitely
Going to save the day

Definitely
Going to remember it well

Definitely
Going to savour every piece of it

Definitely
Going to live it

And

Definitely
Going to harbour
Its wondrous thoughts as well.

Chances Are

August 31, 2015

Chances are

You’re near
Chances are you are everywhere
Holding me, consoling me
Guiding me

Chances are.

Feel your love, feel your sweet breath
Chances are you live, you love
And then there’s death

Chances are.

Today

August 25, 2015

Ursa ~ Photo by Jennifer Clark

Today
Is a day unlike any other day
Filled with life
Filled with strife
And too, things nice.

Must make it my day
Do it my way
And at the end, at the night
I’ll look, see what a wondrous day
Was given to me.

Then I can peacefully sleep
In anticipation of what
The day
The next day
Will bring to me.
