When I Think Of Things

March 5, 2018

When I think of things that’ve passed
I wonder
Where they came to live
In what heart do they survive
And will they be known
In the future’s past?

I saw God today
He came in such a mysterious way
No bolts of lighting, no angels swayed
Just God
I saw God today.

I Remember Memories

March 1, 2018

I remember memories
Both sad and joyous

Memories

 They come to me
When I don’t notice

Memories

My mind will be elsewhere
And suddenly they’re there

Memories

Real or imagined
Staring at me
Laughing hysterically

Memories

Nothing seems to matter
Cause I remember
Memories.

May
Your heart be full of joy
Your words convey pleasure
Your eyes see pure beauty
Your ears believe.

Get Things Done

Get things done
Don’t let them lie
In a puddle of confusion
Surrounded by uncertainty
Let them flourish
Live and love
Let not the hiccups dominate
What certainly could be
A good, great life with no strife.

Terrible Times Do Occur

Terrible times do occur
Marching lines, men’s faces obscure
No more joy, lightly skipping breeze
Heartache, morse pretty bleak.

Then the sun shines oh so bright
Lighting the way both day and night
No more tears, sadness blame
All is well once again.

Come To This

February 22, 2018

Winter Flower ~ Photo by Patrice

Why have I come to this?
The melting of snow
Turning to rain
Getting lost in the mist.

A wandering soul
So much I don’t know
How has it come to this?

No more to say
Just move thru the day
Think of the answer
When did I come to this?

The Crow Flies

February 21, 2018

Flying Crows ~ image courtesy of Stock Photos

The crow flies over skies
Looking down on a world
Moving forward, no lies.

The crow flies calling
Singing songs only loved ones
Hear, don’t deny.

The crow flies holding close
Treasures found, lost
Seen by no other eyes.

The crow flies.

Memories

February 20, 2018

Patti ~ Illustration by Patrice

Memories are with me
I wish had died

Memories of an existance
I think of and cry

No memories of happiness
Or pleasure survive

Remember memories
That took me out

Of the memories
That just make me sigh

Memories, my memories
That make me cry.

Reach For The Sky

Reach for the sky
Hear the angels cry
Words of magnitude
No one
No one can deny.
