Why?

January 10, 2014

Why?
Why oh why?
Please don’t cry
It should not have happened.

Why?
Why did it happen?
Why oh why?

For This New Year

January 8, 2014

For this New Year
I must be quiet but active
Look to my Higher Power for support
Accepting, supporting of others
Thus reaping the rewards of the universe
Knowing
I too, am a gift.
~ Patrice  

This, the Grace Cards tell me.

We Are In A Deep Freeze

January 3, 2014

Deep Freeze ~ Photo by Patrice

We are in a deep freeze
A deep, deep freeze
Cold does not cover what it is
Breath taken away
Frozen in a frigid atmosphere.

Those you hold dear
Should not be out or near
Frozen
Smother instead with warm
Blankets of unfrozen love.

Polar bear cold
Things are froze
No one knows how deep
Or long it will go
Don’t know.

Please no longer than a sleep
Let it creep back up
Let us experience heat
No more deep, deep freeze
Oh please some heat!

A New Day, A New Beginning

January 2, 2014

Running First ~ Photo by Patrice

A new day, a new beginning
A new begin.

Treasured thoughts of long pass
Sink in
This helps a new beginning
To begin.

Treasure those, treasure lots
Open up, let the new begin
To begin.

You Wait And Hope

December 23, 2013

You wait and hope
My heart will open
And let you
Back in.

I cannot see how
It will ever be
So much has passed
So much
I can’t let go.

My heart was open
Once to only you
You trudged across
Careless cold.

Now you must
Wait and hope
That is what
You can do.

Saw My Heart Filled

December 19, 2013

Saw my heart filled
With love
And yours with such cold
Not caring bold disdain.

I wasn’t told
You’d soon depart
Or how I’d be shattered
Blown apart.

It seems it doesn’t matter
For that’s what you expect
When the heart
Is torn, ripped away.

Not sure why
I didn’t cry or follow
You out the door.

Instead I closed my heart
Denying for a time
That I wished
You would have stayed.

But now I wait and hope
And pray
That you’ll come back
Someday, someday.

I Sit Inside Watching

I sit inside watching
The goings-on
Going on outside.

As You Can See

December 12, 2013

As you can see
There is a lot to fill our destines
Flowing thru the world
In and out of harm
Maneuvering by the obstacles
That have a tendency
To make us cry or even die.

No there isn’t a plan
As grand as this one
We hold here within our hands
The magnificent one
Our destiny demands.

I Listened To You Speak

December 9, 2013

Palm Tress in the Sunset ~ photo by Patrice

 

 

 

 

I listened to you speak
Saw what you want
And seek.

A sadness overwhelmed
The likes of me
Realizing neither I
Or anyone on earth
Could satisfy such a hunger
Such a thirst.

I came away feeling
Worthless in this sadness
that makes me cry
For nothing, nothing
I could say or speak
Would give you
What you want and seek.
~ Patrice
