The world whirls

Flies by 

Grab a hold

Hang on 

It’s going to be a wild ride.

Hectic

Hectic ~ Photo by Patrice

When things become
Hectic 
And out of place 
Step back, deep breath in 
Move slowly
At a snail’s pace. 

The welcoming of plenty 
The loss of all things 
filled with empty 
Can sometimes overwhelm you 
Leaving only a place crazily  
Hectic.

The Morning Sun Brightens The Day

The morning sun
Brightens the day 
Morning mists slowly
Fade away 
As robins chirp
Hunting worms all day 
To feed young that will soon
Fly away 
To a land far south 
Where they’ll play 
While the morning sun
Brightens the day.

The world has come
And
In the process of go
Where
I don’t know

Purple Wildflower - Photo by Patrice

I’ll follow along
And
Hang on tight
For I’ve nowhere else
To go
Not tonight.

Rain Flows

August 12, 2021
Lasted used Aug. 12/21

Rain flows, thunder roars 
Skies dark
The world holds its breath. 

A storm races through 
Her heartless devastation clearly shows 
Nature knows what she can do. 

Later the skies will clear 
The sun will shine
Birds glide on breezes
Blowing softly in blue, blue skies. 

All is clear
The storm’s destruction
Has disappeared. 

Everything is calm 
We have weathered another storm.

Powerful Feelings

Powerful feelings
potent times 
Master the transition from ordinary 
To the perfect time.

No Writing

August 9, 2021

No writing this morning 
no words to be said 
everything left on my pillow 
the words, they slipped 
right out of my head.

You Don’t Know

You Don't Know ~ Photo by Patrice

 

Of course you don’t know 
The sadness, the heartache 
I shouldn’t know. 

You see the life 
That seems to glow. 

Sometimes it’s a lie 
Sometimes you see I cry 
But 
Then if course 

You don’t know.

Golden rays of sunshine 
Drift thru the quiet day 
Today
Is the only thought 
For tomorrow does not yet exist.

I Have Heard

I Have Heard ~ Photo by Patrice

I have heard
your sweet voice sing 
seen bad weather
turn to spring. 

Nothing, nothing is for sure 
but with all my heart 
I will believe in
the magic of my dreams.
