Everything Is Precise

September 4, 2014

Everything is precise
All is exact
In a world perfect
But not the one I live in or want to
To be precise, to be exact.

Searching, Seeking

August 29, 2014

Horse and Cattle ~ Painting by Patrice

Searching, seeking
Where I need to be
Wondering
What will be, be my destiny.

Answers come
From where I don’t know when
Answers
I didn’t know or need til then.

You Gave Your Heart

August 26, 2014

 

Razor's Edge Bentley

Razor’s Edge Bentley

You gave your heart
You gave it all
Gentle kindness was not all
Power, wise and strong
You did it all, you did no wrong
Stubborn some say, but a few
A wonder dog named Benny

That was you.

So Much Has Changed

August 20, 2014

So much has changed
The world is not, not the same.

Death, anger, disarray

Where do I belong in this change
Playing out on what seems a sunny day.

Getting Old

August 19, 2014

Getting old
Is not for the mild or meek
Tough road lies ahead bolstered
From those already dead.

Aches and pains constant
Even if only in your head
Hip replaced, arteries clogged
Fingers arthritic and sometimes
The mind is just a smog.

That’s when you think of yesterday
Fill your heart with thoughts
That only knew life in a form of play.

Getting old
Will or won’t take those times away.

Temporary, That’s What They Say

August 18, 2014

Beardie in a Pot ~ Illustration by Patrice

Temporary, that’s what they say
Lasting longer, not happening
No way, no way.

Savour while it lasts
Then go about
Go about your day.

Knowing the best has come
Has visited you
Visited you and stayed.

Just a little while
A little while
Today.

So Cool Today

August 15, 2014

Chickadee on Feeder

So cool today a chickadee came
To where the feeder should be 
She looked and looked 
Then took a flight around
Just to check no seeds were hidden
Near or on the ground. 

It’s only August, too soon for seeds 
Flowers bloom in all their majesty
But honestly, look closely  
I see them shivering
Shaking in the breeze.

Feeling The Aftermath

August 11, 2014

Feeling the aftermath of a wonderful day
Pleasant people hearing words
That blend here and yesterday
Food made up, eaten just to pass the time
As thoughts of love and wonder fill the air
Bringing friends and strangers here together
In a amazing, wondrous day.
~ Patrice

This Day, This Day Is About To Be

August 8, 2014

This day, this day is about to be
Whether happiness, heartache it will be
Greet it with joy
Greet it with ecstasy.

For the next day, tomorrow
May never be
You see this may be, the last day
The last day you see.
