Butterfly

Butterfly

From my window I see you fly
Crossing by

Butterfly

Your beauty is exquisite
Coloured a wondrous earthy brown

Butterfly

Never growing old
Nor flying far away

Butterfly

In winter’s frozen cold
You fly, butterfly

Butterfly

Etched forever in cedar wood
My very own

Butterfly

Thou I imagine one day you will come alive
Flying with other butterflies

Butterfly

To far away places, warm, full of beauty
Butterfly fly

Butterfly

That’s when I’ll say goodbye
To my precious wooden

Butterfly.

Some dreams are achieved.
Some dreams never see fruition.
Some dreams are dashed.
Some dreams become beautiful only in their demise.

Little Tom Thumb

May 21, 2015

Little Tom Thumb
Has passed away
This I learnt just yesterday.

His brave bold heart ceased to beat
He dropped to the ground
Quietly.

Magnificence reigned from the start
He was the leader
He had the heart.

Raced pass the others
Mane flying, hooves a blur
Into history a giant you see had occurred.

Building begun
Changes made
Thoughts on what will be clear
Beyond the haze.

Turn to the right side of life
Feel strength in midst of strife
Dedicate your life to those that need.

Feel life breathe.

In The Near Future

May 15, 2015

Patrice's avatarPatrice’s Art & Poetry Blog

In the near future and the past
Everything was aghast.
Not so liked but tolerated
Sad to say, that was my past.

I am aghast I let it past
Say no more and move along
My life is worth more
Than a sad, sad song.

Vince's Border terrier ~ Watercolour Art by PatriceSee you there
In that happy place
Full of joy, full of grace.
You will bow and I will chase
All the butterflies that giggle
And face the troubles
I’m trying to erase.

Maybe now it does not exist
Because I showed them
I will resist.

Be ye happy.
Be ye pleased because together
We brought them to their knees.
Here, in the near future
And most likely in the past
With absolute ease.

Such A Wonder To Review

May 14, 2015

Faldo ~ GSCC Championship/04

Such a wonder to review
Such a time we had we two.

Nothing came to pass
That hurt or tested our resolve, our view.

Such a time we had we too
Such a wonder to review.

Stingrays Flying

May 13, 2015

Stingrays flying
In a most beautiful place
In awe, inspired by their beauty, their grace.

Leaping from the sea
Are they jumping in fear
Running from danger beneath the waves?

Not known for sure
For they may be just washing mites
From their smooth, dark face.

Stingrays flying
Leaping
With a particular ballet grace.

Tell Me When, Tell Me Why

Tell me when, tell me why
Please, before I die.

Don’t want to cry, don’t want to die
Please tell me when, please tell me why.

I Journey To My Home

I journey to my home
The place where I was born.

Memories past, life I did before
Some heartache, some laughing then and now.

I journey to the place
I was born, I journey home.
