Falling softly
Laying quiet upon the ground
No sound tells the story
No wind whispers words
That made snow
Come falling down.

Falling Softly, Laying Quiet
January 28, 2022
You See
January 19, 2022
You see
I’ve been there too
I know the heartache, the sadness
Nothing, no one is left all alone
You see
someone, somewhere has been there too
we’ve never been alone
You see
now you can be for someone else
the same as was done for you
You see
I know you see now too.

Every Time
January 4, 2022
Every time
I hear your heart beat
my breath is taken away
Every time
Every time
my heart does race
when I feel your love so near
Every time
Every time
my soul seeks
refuge in the love we share
I know I will be safe
Every time
Every time

The Feeder Hangs
December 24, 2021Wishing all
‘HAPPY HOILDAYS’
Staying safe and healthy each and everyday
~ Patrice
The feeder hangs
Quiet and discreet
Waiting for company
To enjoy her treats.
No bad or evil thoughts
Does she convey
Feeding all who happen
To pass her way.
Filled up or near empty
She stands quietly there
Holding something
She lives to share.

Loyalty Is Something
December 22, 2021
Loyalty is something
We all need
No questions asked, no what ifs
No
None of that.
When the world goes
Full round
It makes sure
All
Is right
All is above ground.
That’s when
I see
My loyalty is to
The earth
All creatures, all things
Including me.

Death Is Overpowering Me
December 10, 2021
Death is overpowering me
Coming, telling me
What to do, where to go
Where to be.
Death is walking beside me
Holding gently, telling me
Souls who go don’t leave
They too, are alongside me.
Death is breathing life inside me
My time will come but not now
Go live a life full of love
Fun and beauty.
This death tells me.

First Snowfall Brings Brightness And Clarity
November 29, 2021
First snowfall brings
Brightness and clarity to my life
Looking at things covered in white
Sleeping now
Thru the winter night.
To awaken
All new, fresh and bright
Once spring’s breezes melt
This
Winter’s white.
For now I see oh so clearly
What the universe wants me to know
I’m part of all life,
All seasons
Spring, summer, fall
and
Especially winter’s white snowfall.

Been
November 26, 2021
As I sit here thinking
Of what is to be
And been
My mind wanders to things
That have passed, have been.
There are no memories
As strong as those
That I’ve lived
Been part of
Those that have been.
Future dreams that I’ll be living
Won’t be nothing
Won’t be memories til
They’ve passed thru my living
Going into what has been.

No
November 25, 2021
No words to say
None to convey love and understanding
No, nothing comes to mind
To articulate or define
No, nothing
Nothing comes to mind.

I Sit Here Wishing
November 19, 2021
I sit here wishing
What is
Could not be.
Hoping life
Would be a little gentler
Take pity on me.
Trusting it
Will get better
So all can be happy.
Doesn’t matter what I wish
Cause life is
What it will be.
