See me
I am here.

See me
I must not fear
You see.

See me
In all I be
See me.

I’m Amazed And Mystified

August 31, 2017

Big Sky ~ Photo by Patrice

I’m amazed and mystified
The way the world turns
And magnifies
All goodness inherent
On the earth
And up in
The clear, blue skies.

I am amazed, I’m mystified.

Looking

Great Danes from Purina's Hall of Fame ~ Watercolour by Patrice

Looking up to the sky
Looking for the answer
The reason why
The solid earth beneath my feet
Radiates love
Leaving no room
For defeat.

My mouth says words
Needed to be said
My hands hold
Thankfulness for all I see
And for the ground
On which I tread
Here, alongside thee.

Questioning, Doubting

August 29, 2017

Questioning, doubting
My ability
To know the answers
Right.

So that I can sleep
At night
Live thru the day
All bright.

With daily confirmation
The direction
I’m headed in
Is right.

Hoping To See Joy

Travel thru Time ~ Photo by Patrice

Hoping to see joy in all humanity
As we transverse thru our lives
Holding each close
No tears cried
No hope denied
Just care and love in all our lives.

Seeking Solitude

August 24, 2017

Birdhouse in a birch tree ~ Photo by Patrice

Seeking solitude, quiet and a resting mind
No bitterness, no crime
No tears smearing a saddened face
Only a smile, a happy thought
A loving gesture
All things caring in this
A quiet time.

That’s what I want, I need
In this
My quiet mind.

Decisions

August 23, 2017

Making decisions
Some I don’t like
Making them in darkness
And board daylight.

Answering all questions
That’ll make things right
Make people believe in me
Today, tonight.

I don’t have all answers
Still decisions
Decisions will be made
By tonight.

Angry

August 22, 2017

Tiger ~ Illustration by Patrice

Furious and bitter
Mad and angry
Hate the controlling people
Who try to control
Me.

Their ashes and residue
Spewing forth
Needless discord, no harmony.

Angry

I’m angry
Angry at me.

Glorious Morning Light

August 21, 2017

Ice Storm ~ 2016 Photo by Patrice

The sun rises bringing light
To the darkness
Shrouded in the night.

Exposing goodness
Brightness
And
Healing light.

The way is lit for those
Lost in the darkness
Of an unforgiving night.

No one knows
From where it comes
Or where it goes
When we sleep at night.

It just appears
Bringing
Glorious morning light.

The Beauty Of A Sunset

Filtered Sun ~ photo by Patrice

The beauty of a sunset
Filtered sun falling thru
The splendour of the sea
Nothing can impress
Like the world around of me.

No one will see the ugly
No one can forsaken me
For in my opinion
My heart is an untold wonder story
That I’m settling down to read.
