I Wonder Sometime

May 4, 2011

I wonder sometime
If its me or the mind
To concede that the majestic
Are in control of the sublime.

Don’t see the irony
Nor the rhyme
In this that could be called
A lesson on time.

There It Is

May 3, 2011

There it is. Feel their power. Feel their strength. Take comfort in their solitude and joy. You’re not alone, ever.

Trouble Focusing

May 2, 2011

 

 

 

Trouble focusing,
Frustrated and sad.
Even could say
I’m very mad.

Mad in the sense
It doesn’t make
My mortal self comprehend
All at stake.

Maybe if I was a God,
A princess or duke,
I’d understand all and
Have nothing to rebuke.

But I’m none
Of the above,
So understand, acknowledge
And love.

When its right,
When you need to know,
All will be clear
And under control.

Great Expectations

April 30, 2011

Brandy ~ Watercolour Art by PatriceGreat expectations, wonder aloud.
Be in possession of all that is
Bought gently here, on a cloud.
No one will ponder, question or ask
But accept the greatness
One has within them to
Accomplish the task.

Depressing Painting

April 29, 2011

Depressing painting
Mind ablaze
All is a fog
Dipped in haze.

Struggle to feel some
Compassion and ease
Down to the depths
Of a monstrous siege.

No one is safe
No one can see
A way out
On a stormy sea.

Bare forth with strength
Be passionate and be
All that needs to safely
Stand and be me.

Autumn In Spring

April 27, 2011

What a beautiful time
In a wonderful way
To bring forth autumn
On a sunny spring day.

Nothing is steadfast
Ever changing with sway
Making me wonder
Just what did I do today?

Mosey on over
Smile and say “Howdy partner
Have you seen autumn
On this sunny spring day?”

Nothing will happen
No one will say
“Mind your own business”
In an ever changing, wondrous way.

Folks are pleasant, mild and say
“Never mind the forecast
We’ll know by day
That the weather is changing
In a beautiful, wondrous way.”

Today Is The Day

April 25, 2011

Today is the day.

Today is the combination
Of all your past days.

Making today better than yesterday
Because you know more
Than you did yesterday.

And not as much
As you’ll know tomorrow.

So, today is the day.
