Slowly, cautiously
I proceed
thru life
seeking to find
a place
divine
Where I can live
be myself
not destroying another
or
being blind
to the hurts of others
Slowly, cautiously
I proceed
I’m on my way
following this path
throughout
the minute, the hour
the day.

You haven’t seen
haven’t felt
what
I have
What has been
Hopefully tomorrow
we’ll be in sync
then
you’ll see
Everything.

Hidden deep within
is a secret
of
how to begin
a life so wonderful
so full
of lovely things
that
I can’t wait
oh no
can’t wait
wait to begin.

Hold it still
Let not the movement depict a sound
For in the quiet all will be answered
Salvation will abound.

Let me be less angry
Let me be polite
Raging at the world
will not cause anything
but
hatred and spite.

A hawk came
to my feeder
today
in hopes, I believe
to take away
a small bird
prey
you might say.
But
he flew away
elsewhere
to better hunting
I think, I’m guessing
you might say.

Nobody knows
nor
can they
see
the world
exactly
the same
as
me.

You can have
all you want
everything you need
to be
that one
you were meant
to be.
But
only, only
if
you believe
in
kindness
love and sanctity.

Riley passed away
yesterday
his beating heart stopped
his breath ceased to be
only memories
memories that is all we have
you see.
A gentle, kind, wondrous guy
knowing, knowledgeable
a smile on his face
devoted beyond belief
this was Riley
who now has been.
He passed away, passed away
yesterday
rest in peace sweet Riley
you were loved and loved
unconditionally.
~ Patrice
~ My deepest condolences to his family and all that loved him ~

You haven’t been
haven’t seen
all the beauty surrounding you
surrounding me
Still it’s there
Validating
love
unconditionality
May you
in the spring, the fall
or
the winter bare
see this beauty
See it
all around
holding you, keeping you
showing
that the world
sees you
and
it cares.
