Haven’t Heard

March 21, 2017

Yehudi Menuhin ~ Illustration by Patrice

Haven’t heard
The end
Haven’t heard
The start
Waiting in between

Waiting

To hear my heart.

Spring is here
Is a part
Nestled
In a beginning
Full
Waiting to start.

May My Soul Find The Secrets

May my soul find the secrets
Hidden deep in my heart
May the pleasure never
Ever, ever depart.

May I find justice
For the things unfairly done
And may the sun shine
On all those I love
Each and everyone.

May I find the strength
To stand up straight
And not waiver
In the thoughts
That can make me see
Greatness
Greatness in all of thee.

Yes
May my soul believe
And see
All that is wondrous
In this secret place
Called me.

If I feel my heart weep
My soul cry
Let me be in a place
Where good ones lie.

This Lady

March 14, 2017

This Lady

In another place, another time
This lady
Was my nursery rhyme.

She held me close, she kept me far
She taught me to believe
In my star.

Sunset

March 10, 2017

Sun goes down
Into the evening sky
Leaving the moon to reflect it’s light
Into the water deep and blue
Turning it golden
Blood red too.

All is quiet in the evening sky
Birds ponder the reason why
As the sun now sinks
Beneath the ocean blue
Refreshing itself in waters deep, dark
Purely quiet too

Heavenly Father Hear My Call

Heavenly Father
Hear my call
No weeping
Wailing not at all
Sinner I am
Of course you know
I’ll bow down
Ease the flow.

Heavenly Father
Hear my call
I love, I love you
I love you all.

Tomorrow

February 28, 2017

Monty's Last Day ~ Photo by Patrice

He died today
but really
Tomorrow.

We said
Goodbye
with such
Great sorrow.

No heart
could break
as much
as ours.

We sobbed
and
Sobbed

We knew
there would be
No tomorrow.

I Cry, So I Cry

February 27, 2017

Connie Yellow Lab ~ Watercolour by Patrice

I feel the heaven and the lie
I know the answer I sigh
Nothing is respectful
Nor is it what I need to know
I cry
So I cry.

I see the heaven
I see the ocean’s die
I am part of the earth
Scotched, bleeding dry
That’s why, that’s when
I cry
So I cry

Hear The Heartache Cry

February 23, 2017

Hear
The heartache cry
Hear
It’s voice so sad and low
No one else
Can feel it’s loss
Only us
We do know.
