This Is A Beginning

June 7, 2013

This is a beginning
And a end
This is when we wonder
Where oh where
Have we been?

Seeing thru
The mist of opportunity
Both those exciting
And ones we may
Have missed.

This is a beginning
Don’t miss the opportunity
Make sure you enjoy it
All the way to
A happy the end.

Did You See What I Saw?

June 6, 2013

Did you see what I saw?
Will you do what I did?
Can you go where I have gone?

My travels and travails are mine
Yours are yours and have begun
So you begone.

The Last Page

June 5, 2013

Boat in Aruba ~ photo by Patrice

The last page in a book
The last page in a life
Written
With a hand dipped in love.

Read with knowledge
Of a end
That lives on in a mind
Filled
With unconditional love.

Yes
It’s the last page in a book
And you’ll find another one
Knowing it too
Will be written
With unconditional love.

Anticipation

June 4, 2013

Anticipation
Anticipation of what can and will be
Sadness, sorrow
Or
Unprecedented ecstasy
Mine to control
With the best there is
Anticipation
That’s what it is.

The Winds Of Change Are Changing

June 3, 2013

The winds of change are changing
The known is not here
We all believe in the future
We all want it to be right here.

The winds of change are changing
Bringing the future back to here
Everything we’re holding
Everything so oh so dear
Will soon be far, far in the rear.

The winds of change are changing
The present soon too, far in the rear
The future before us
Hold it close, hold it dear but
Never forget those we cherish
They’re now in the rear.

Sadness Fails

May 31, 2013

Old House Window ~ photo by Patrice

 

 

 

 

 

Sadness fails 
Crashes 
Hear
The wails. 

Monster crawls 
Full of regret 
Finally getting 
What he should
Get. 

No remorse 
Pity none 
Turn the page 
Forget
The rage. 

Sadness can
No more 
Be part of
Hate.

I have seen
many things.

I need to use
those experiences
to make my world
a better place
for all I care for
and love.

Slowly, Softly The Fog Dissipates

May 28, 2013

Birdhouse in a birch tree ~ photo by Patrice

Slowly, softly the fog dissipates
Leaving beneath me
A breathtaking land of
Oh so much rare beauty.

In this grand, lovely land
Is a dream where I could exist
Bringing to my life a magic
I shouldn’t nor can resist.

Come join me there
In this wonderland I love
Come be part of a world where
All is filled with wondrous love.
~ Patrice
