Winter Winds Blow

Winter Winds Blow ~ Photo by Patrice

Like winter winds that blow 
Our lives can be tossed
To and fro. 

So grasp with vigour and hold on so tight 
To live thru your winter and bask once again 
In
A summer’s delight.

A Eagle Sits

A Eagle Sits ~ Photos by Patrice

A eagle sits up in a tree 
resting 
after fishing salmon
in
our tiny stream. 

Majestic and noble 
he doesn’t seem to see 
the trials, tribulations 
I’m burdened with
as I too wander by
that
tiny, fish laden stream. 

He brings it all into perspective 
he makes me see 
life goes on
regardless 
of what I want 
I need 
I perceive.

Remember When The World Was Small

Remember when
The world was small
Worries, cares were nothing
To speak of at all.

No crashing down
Of a market
Not really existing
Not at all.

No change in time
It just moved forward
Regardless of everything
Anything at all.

No mushroom cloud
No toxic smoke
No weeping, wailing
All lost hope.

Those were to come
But when
The world was small
None of that mattered
Not at all.

Feeling Honoured ~ Photo by Patrice

Feeling honoured
and
very strong 

Living the best
I can 
making believe
nothing’s wrong. 

For tomorrow
will be
another day 

I’ll live thru it 
hugging
all that’s right 
leaving behind
all that’s wrong.

Total Failure

Total Failure ~ Photo by Patrice

Total failure
Is not an option 
I’m taking 

Maybe drawbacks
Maybe roadblocks on the path
I’m creating 

Still I’ll stay
On my course, my dream
My yearning 

And
When I arrive 
I’ll realize

That I’ve been here 
From
The beginning.

I feel a heart beating
Here in my own heart
I feel a sadness blue
I know I’ve lost a time
When I lost

Lost you

 Moved on
But every now and then
I think
And that’s when
I find myself

Missing you.

Life Holding Me

November 4, 2021
Life Holding Me  ~ Self-Portrait

Sometimes
I feel life holding me 
embracing, protecting me 

Then
I’m invincible 
then I can do anything 

Yes
when life is holding me.
