In my dream
I see fortune full of destiny
Mine to have
Mine to be
Let me begin living
This my dream
In that destiny
I see.

A House, A Home

September 28, 2017

Elaborate Birdhouse ~ Photo by Patrice

In the forest I found
A house, a home
So profound.

No windows to shed light
But a cozy home, a place for respite
Adorned with flowers pink and white
A bell to toll when someone
Strange comes lurking
Late at night.

A front door I can’t find
Yet welcome are all
Who poke their head inside.

May you see this house
So profound
May you enjoy all it has to give
There in the forest
This house, this home
That I found.

The world I’ll live in
Places I’ll go
Feelings I’ll feel?

Not mine to wonder why.

When I Feel The Tenderness

September 20, 2017

Mom and Twiggy ~ Photo by Patrice

When I feel
The tenderness
The soft calling
From my heart
Let me begin to process
All these things
I feel
In my head
In my heart.

Let Me

September 19, 2017

Sunset ~ Photo by Patrice

Let me lie at your feet

My life in disarray

Let me see you seek

The good in everyday

Let me feel your heart beat

Goodness with every beat

And finally

Let me be part of all

You do and say

All my life

In every way.

Can’t Understand

September 18, 2017

Monty boating ~ Photo by Patrice

Can’t understand
Why the world allows
Sickness
Sadness to have command.

Can’t understand
How we got from here
To a place with no grace
No gentle kind.

 Can’t understand
Can’t understand

I did not see
I did not know
The courage inside I’d have to show.

Fly Away, Fly Away

September 14, 2017

Lily ~ Photo by Patrice

Fly away, fly away

The day is unfolding
The temperature’s cold
Not smouldering

Fly away, fly away

Come back
Amid spring flowers
For now is the time
Time to fly

Fly away, fly away.
