Thinking

July 5, 2016

Study of hands and paint brushes ~ Illustration by Patrice for New Chalice Brushes

Thoughts are thinking
Thinking thoughts
Working out answers
Questioning a lot
Thinking.

Thinking in silence
Thinking out loud
Thinking.

Thinking thoughts
Creating magic
Developing a dream
Thinking.

Thinking of a scheme
The correct way to be
Leaving nothing unanswered
Thinking.

My thoughts have been
Thinking
Thinking of everything.

All Day Long

June 21, 2016

Mal Pups ~ Illustration by Patrice

When I ran, played all day long
The hours were long, lasting all day long
Summer was at least a year
Warming all day, all day long.

Bees buzzed, birds sang all day long
Sweet scents on breezes waffling thru
As I played
Ran all day, all day long

We all must die
The reason is we are all alive.

Will You Write Me A Poem

June 9, 2016

Will you write me a poem

Will you call my name

Will you pen my life in a sweet refrain

Will you feel my pain

Will you write a few short lines

Will you mark joy and glorious laughter

Will you tell of when it rained

Will you write me a poem

Will you call my name?

Remember When

June 8, 2016

Safe and Strong ~ Illustration by Patrice for Ginn and Company's math book, 'Starting Points in Mathematics'

Remember when
Life was soft
And
Then the world burst
Spewing anger.

That is when
I fell from my heart
Landing in a den of angry giants
Eating,
Crunching hapless wrens
Cried in anger, feared for death.

 That is when
I saw the world
Issue out some justice
My tears were dried, my heart soothed
And
I remembered when.

Gentle Kindness Needed Everywhere

May 30, 2016

3 Rotties ~ Illustration by Patrice

Gentle kindness needed everywhere
Fill the gap with hardy laughs
Store any gain in a open sack.

That way, you’ll be above
Beyond
All that holds you back.

Laugh, laugh
Embracing and sharing gentle kindness
Feel it here at last.

Remembering When

May 18, 2016

Remembering when
Flowers swooned and turtles ran
Remembering when
Remembering when.

My Heart Softly Waits

May 16, 2016

Siegrun and her beloved dogs ~ Painting by Patrice

My heart softly waits
To make the connection
To the world of love
Not hate.

My heart
She softly waits.

I only write what I see
It’s not about me
It’s not about me.
