Only Thru The Looking Glass

January 7, 2019

Looking Thru the Looking Glass ~ Selfie

Only thru the looking glass
Can I see what resides
Resides inside of me.

Only thru the looking glass
Will I be able
Able to be free.

Only thru the looking glass
Can I really
Really be me.

Good Beginnings

Good beginnings
Caress the past
Moving forward
Beyond the last
Making new ones
As they come to be.

No one knows
Just what’s in store
Only that the way
Is open and
Pulls us through
Here to this day.

Showing
Another time
Beginning now today
But always, always
Starting yesterday.

Anger Oozes

January 3, 2019

Wood  Sadness ~ Photo by Patrice

Anger oozes thru my bones
Frustrating cries
Amongst the moans.

No one knows the course I take
Be it bleak
Or forsake all around
Who try to help.

Nothing works
I am I feel, the one in hell
Who
Will surely melt.

Holding On

January 2, 2019

Squirrel Holding On ~ Photo by Patrice

Holding on
Standing firm
Not backing up just to conform
Going nowhere but here.

Holding on despite
The awful atmosphere
You will tell, I’ll be told
All the reasons
This should not unfold.

Then on we’ll go
Never looking back
For we’re holding on
We’re on track.

New Year, New Time

New year, new time
Let the drum rolls roll
Let the beginners keep time
Sacrifice nothing
Bow to no one
Stand on your own feats

Being kind

It’s a new year
In a different time.

Dearest and sweetest thoughts
Enter my mind today
Let them carry me thru the New Year
And onward
To each and every
Passing day.

Last day of a time gone thru
When everything’s done
Came back lived by me, by you.

Looking forward to days ahead
Not back at neither sorrow or dread
Only joy, “Remember it” she said.

Bring it forward to this New Year
Live it to the fullest
With much good cheer!

Holding On, Holding Tight

Holding on, holding tight
Steeling to make it thru the night
While thinking of basking
In the broad daylight
Making no matter of the matters
That matter tonight.

Thoughts And Memories

December 26, 2018

Rottie Pups ~ Painting by Patrice

Thoughts and memories
Come into my head
Some beautiful
Some filled with dread.

I think of them and then
Let those memories go
Back to the place where
All memories need to go.

There to stay til drawn again
To the front of my mind
To relive and live
Those memories one moe time
One moe time again.
~ Patrice
