Looking over
A land of green and blue
Hearing softly calling
The mighty loon.
Grey rock breaks the water
Landing place for seagulls
And resting for turtles too.
Lily pads holding high
A simpler but dramatic life
Here, in the land
Of green and blue.
White grey clouds drift slowly
Crows shrilly caw calling all to see
How one lives here
In a land of green and blue.
This is the life
This for me, me and you.

This is my life. I must chose to make it the way and the best I want.

Reality is sometimes too harsh to cope with. It will get better.

Shock, horror, not understanding, disbelief, could not be
No, this did not happen, happening
Why?
Tell me why
Not right, anger, frustration, denial
Fury, acceptance, sadness, deep anguish, lost, emptiness
Anger, depression, guilt
Help me understand why
Accept and forgive.

Here in the bright sunlight my presence glows.
Be aware that we’re all one of a kind and all we need to exist. ~ Patrice

Hidden deep down in love
Breaking ground from above.
Joyous loving feeling now
Part of living bestowed upon
Each and everyone of us.
Belonging to the world at large
Hold it close, cherish this
For it may come only once
This heavenly, blissful love.

Exciting as it is, it is still hard work coupled with perseverance and dedication.

Many know the reason.
Let me be one of them.
Smile.
Secure in the knowledge of knowing.

Looking back down
The road I’ve been
Always knowing I could
Be there in a second
That place I’ve been.
So sad to know
So sad to be
Looking back down
The road I’ve been.
Don’t look back
Turn around and see
A new road
Opening up for me.
Full of promise
Full of majesty
Heartbreak gone
Back down the road
I’ve been.

Let it all fall together as I know it must for me to succeed.
