Snow Is Blowing Once Again

January 27, 2014

First of Winter Road ~ Photo by Patrice

Snow is blowing once again
Spewing doubt of whether
A heart will beat and families meet
In this world or after.

Sadness is a trait
Carried on an atmosphere
That makes us feel so small
Full of heartache, heartache
Is what we feel us all.

Thru the cold may we flourish
Someday in the warmth
Of sunshine of the sun
Share laughter with family
And all friends
No sorrows or past regrets
Just pleasure at its best.

So, may snow blow love
Far into spring
Caressing thru a summer
That’s falling into fall.

Thats, that’s what we hope for
Even have the nerve to request
Oh yes, that would be the best
For us all.

Sharing Thoughts

January 24, 2014

Sharing thoughts in the quiet of our minds
Touching souls with our hearts on fire
Soothing wounds in the depth
Of things that matter.

Calling out to all that doubt
Pulling them in
To shoulder some of the load
So no one travels a road alone.

Quietly be everything you need to be
Call it ‘Me’

Clear The Cold

January 23, 2014

Warm Door ~ Photo by Patrice

Clear the cold move it aside
As you open the door
To the warmth inside.

Stand at that door
Caress it’s warm, weathered face
Know it has stood brave
Against all menacing waves.

This door holds strong
With a courageous face
You can embrace the beauty
That exquisite grace.

Step inside
You are safe.

Soft And Secure, Cuddling

January 21, 2014

Heather's Shelties ~ watercolour by PatriceSoft and secure, cuddling
In the warmth of love
Feeling it radiate to all those
I do love.

A smile crosses my lips
Diving deep inside the being
That resides here in my heart.

Toes tingle with fantastic
Permeating throughout
My body, my soul.

This I know
There is no doubt
Love
Is certainly what it’s all about.

I’m Not The Girl

January 20, 2014

Photo by Mom and DadI’m not the girl
I use to be
Time has passed
All that now is history.

Gladness, sadness
Whatever used to be
Carries me thru
On to my destiny.

In The Depths Of Winter

January 17, 2014

Winter Orchid ~ Photo by Patrice

 

 

 

In the depths of winter 
You flower. 

You bring beauty and grace 
To a place filled
With cold ice, grey white
No flowers. 

Let me be that bloom
Showing love in
A cold place
Each day forever
Like that beautiful flower. 
~ Patrice

Looking, Looking

January 16, 2014

Looking, looking
For the right
Wherever it may be
I’m looking, looking
Left and right.

No one can tell
Just where to go
How to find but you know
I’m looking, looking
If need be all night.

My sight may not be
What it was or should be
But I’ll keep
Looking, looking
To make it right.

My Friend John

January 15, 2014

John and Carol

My friend John
His life on earth is no more.

But I remember like just yesterday
All the things he did for me
Not looking for any repay.

Along with his wife Carol
Gave me strength
When I felt so hollow.

When I couldn’t stand
They held me up.

When I couldn’t walk
They carried me through.

When I couldn’t smile
They made me see
The joy
The treasure life can be.

When my heart was cracked
And wouldn’t mend
They sealed the breaks
With love again.

And then
When out of a house
No where to live
They gave me shelter
A home for me
My dogs and cats to live.

When I needed a car
To take me on my travels
John made the deal
By pretending
To be my father.

No returns
Did either ever request
Just loving
Sharing and respect.

Never got to say
How much it meant til today
Now I do request
That you Carol, know
I will be forever in your debt.

John please save a place
At that table
Where you sit with your friends
Smiling happily, full of grace.

My lovely friends
I’ll never forget
The most wondrous man I ever met.
~ Patrice

My sincerest condolences to all that called John
Loving husband, father, brother and dearest friend.

The Gate Is Open

January 13, 2014

The gate is open
I follow thru
Not alone but with
All that come
To be with you.

The choice is mine
And I follow
Follow the others thru
Following you.

Our salvation we will find
Passing thru
The open gate following
Following you.

Poetry

January 9, 2014

Chandelier Light ~ Photo by Patrice

Poetry
Taken from the pages
Of anarchy
Full in the hearts of subtlety
Showing no malice is
Poetry.

Poetry
Why have you come
To be my destiny?
Nothing matters but
The throes of the heart in
Poetry.

Poetry
Anger, passion, full
Of the vacant sound coming
From that original sin
Even then
Blessed is the heart
That changes history with
Poetry.

Poetry
No one can know what
Could have been
My heart, my love and
All life has been and now
Come be within
Poetry.
~ Patrice
