A sadness deep inside
festering, crying
pleading
to be let out
let outside.
To be free
to wander, find solace
be happy
come alive
This is all
that
sadness asks
all’s needed
for that sadness deep
deep inside.

Each morning
I create
Patrice
Each morning
I make her come alive
Each night she sleeps
but
does not die
Each day
I appreciate she lives
she is alive.

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.
