When The World Is Your Oyster

June 27, 2014

When the world is your oyster
And your heart filled with gold
Come tell me your story
And together we’ll build
Something breathtakingly bold.

Can’t Remember

June 26, 2014

Bucking Horse ~ Illustration by Patrice

Can’t remember
Where or what I’ve been.

Can’t remember
If I sang a song of happiness
Or something in between.

Can’t remember
Can’t remember anything.

Flowing, Flowing With The Master Plan

Flowing, flowing with the master plan
Down the path, across the land
Cuddling close, loving lots
Flowing, flowing with the master plan.

Tremendous So It Seems

June 24, 2014

Filtered Sun ~ photo by Patrice

Tremendous so it seems walking thru the maze
Pass what beams life back to me
From an unearthly realm on a heavenly stream.

Touch the golden glow
Bask in that fantasy stream
Mellow is the fellow born to feel all that
That doesn’t seem.

Don’t Be Bitter Or Angry

June 23, 2014

Don’t be bitter or angry
Just be happy and gay.

Don’t let them get you down
With their toxic chatter
Even in the darkest night
There always will be a guiding light.

Dance a light step down the pathway
Smile, laugh hysterically with delight
Being happy and gay
If only tonight.

Birds Singing

June 20, 2014

Birds singing in a far tree
Silent sun’s rays breaking thru hovering
Bee doesn’t know you or me.

Tree leans to the sun as squirrels
Scurry, gathering keys
Unlocking nothing for chipmunks scold
Cussing unknown foe hiding
Waiting for them to go.

Spring day starts lasting
Into summer sun
Join the crowd travel
With them til evening comes.

Wondering Why Or Did I See

June 19, 2014

Sun Flower ~ Photo by Patrice

Wondering why or did I see
How the heart mends
Without any seams.

Tragedy, chaos and most likely strife
Rip holes in my being
Then along comes kindness
Dipped in strength
Changing everything.

A smile, a laugh, a gentle caress
Hold me together
Thru anything.

I’m not wondering
I know, I see
With love my heart mends
Without any seams.

Fireflies Sparkle In The Sky

June 18, 2014

fireworks in the sky ~ Photo by Patrice

Fireflies sparkle in the sky
Flashing bright
Then fading, disappearing in a humid night.

Fireflies moving in a most erratic way
Flying high
Sparkling bright in a summer nightime flight.

As You Move Forward Into Eternity

June 16, 2014

Spierea Blossoms ~ Photo by Patrice

As you move forward into eternity
Stop and look around
See majesty.

See forests, lawns, parks and lakes
See people, fawns and a most interesting place
Nothings ever dull if you but care to trace
The movement of the world
For it’s such a wondrous place.

Please move thru this time in space
With a light and tender thread
So they’ll only know you’ve been here
By all the good they felt
From your kind and gentle tread.

It’s Friday, Friday the 13th Once Again

June 13, 2014

Friday the 13th in Port Dover ~ photo courtesy of http://www.pd13.com

It’s Friday, Friday the 13th once again
See spirits and souls ride with a Strawberry moon
Down to Dover on Harleys all day.

Hear the VROOM, VROOM consume the air
With the night bright in galactic flares
On Friday, it’s Friday the 13th again.
