Suddenly, Suddenly

April 21, 2015

Suddenly my heart
Goes out coming in
To home and love.

Suddenly my mind
Understands life
Suddenly, suddenly.

Sometimes A Memory

April 13, 2015

Henry ~ Pen and Ink Art by Patrice

Sometimes a memory
Sadden, falls down my face
Coming straight from heaven
It holds a special time and place
In my heart forever
Starting there, glistening
Upon my face.

House Of Cards

House of cards
Comes crashing down
Never built on solid ground
No ace, jack nor king
Only a queen in mourning.

You Decide

March 23, 2015

You decide
whether the storm is cold
Or summery hot
You decide.

The future your’s to take
The path to the left
Or go to the right
You decide.

See blissful rain
Or shattering shame
Your decision
You decide.

Your heart won’t know
Til your ears do cry
And your eyes see what
You decide.

Hunger So

March 17, 2015

Perfect Little House ~ Photo by Patrice

Hunger so
Need the help
Not sure why.

Please Lord
Let me not die
Holding on to something
That won’t even cry.

Hunger so sad
Cause
Not sure why.

Remember Much

March 16, 2015

My sweet Ursa ~ Photo by Patrice

Remember
Much has happened
Not all for the best.

Much is done
Now we must let it rest.

Much can be
Accomplished
Thou not right now.

Much of your journey
Is part
Of your heart.

Much to remember
Now
Is when to start.

The End Of Winter

The end of winter,
Please be near.
No more blizzards
No more watching ‘up to their bellies’ deer.

Just the soft trickle of springtime rain
As it washes away winter rubbish once again.
The chirp of robins hunting worms
Green, green grass alongside blooming herbs.

Yes, that’s what I am looking for,
That’s what I need.
So the end of winter, please, please,
PLEASE!

Helping Those Who Help

March 12, 2015

Helping those who help
Seeking ones who need
Whether it be you
Whether it be me.

Small steps in the midst
Of caring joy carrying
Helping
Those who seek.

We Are Changing

March 4, 2015

Crocus Spring ~ Photo by Patrice

We are changing
Where we are.

We don’t see
What we’ve done.

We don’t belong
Where we need to be.

We are masking
Conceit with happy.

We are changing
Fortunately.

Hold Out To Help

March 2, 2015

Filtered Sun ~ Photo by Patrice

Hold out to help those that need
Including you if you please
Follow the path to the road
Journey on
On adventures still untold.

Don’t look back, look straight ahead
Glance to the left, look to the right
Keeping your focus on that bright, glowing light
There ahead
Showing you your own true life.
~ Patrice
