That Little Voice

March 20, 2024
That Little Voice ~ Photo by Patrice

Listen to that little voice
That
Speaks inside your head
The soft, gentle sound
That tells
What’s right, what’s wrong.

The one who says
Which path to take
If  you should
Go 
Not hesitate, not wait.

When you find
The one
You think you love
She’ll tell you
If you need to stay 
Or
If you should not walk 
But run.

So listen
Listen to that little voice
She knows your heart
She knows
Knows what’s best.

Never lose that
Connection
Never ignore that voice
For
She says the wisest words 
There 
Inside your head.

Learn The Lesson

March 12, 2024
Learn The Lesson ~ Aggy and Me

Learn the lesson
You’ve been given
Accept the consequences
To be learned
Don’t wonder why
The world turns. 

Your answers, your lesson
Will be learned
As the universe, nature discerns
You need to know
Need to learn.

The Sun

The Sun ~ Photo by Patrice

The sun breaks 
over a brown earth 
Left as if dead from winter storms 
But then 
In the midst of all broke 
Deemed dead and dying 
Is a small green shoot 
Emerging 
Bringing life 
To a winter weary land. 

The warm sun gives life 
Nurtures 
The rising ones 
Spring 
Has come 
As winter retreats 
Only 
On a later day 
To blast 
Blow once again. 

The sun then rests 
Satisfied 
she has done her best 
Thou 
She too 
Will be back 
Tomorrow 
To nurture, bring life 
With a warm, radiating 
Spring sun.

No More To Be Sad Or Happy

March 7, 2024

No more
To be sad or happy
No more to say
Those words
I didn’t want to say. 

All is finished
Completed in every way
Now is the time
To be just me 
Just me all day.

In Retrospect

In Retrospect ~ Photo by Patrice

In retrospect

I see so clearly
The problems I had
Answers
That evaded me

In retrospect

I could have
Done things
Differently

In retrospect

I know my life
Could have been
Changed drastically

But

In retrospect

Then I would not be
The person I’ve become
I need to be

In retrospect.

I Struggle

January 29, 2024
I Struggle

I struggle to be
Someone
I’m not. 

The reason I do
Can’t be understood
Can’t be
Reasoned away
With
Just any thought.

No Way To Go

January 24, 2024
No Way To Go ~ Photo by Patrice

No way to go
No way to know
The path that’s right
One that doesn’t veer left
Nor
To the right

Straight as an arrow
Moving thru obstacles
Moving
Directly through
The dark 
Sinister night

To a salvation
So glorious, so right
But
I don’t know that way
The way to go 
Today, tonight 

Don’t know
Either
What’s wrong
Or
What could be
Right.

Solely Heard, Solely Said

January 22, 2024
Solely Heard, Solely Said ~ Photo by Patrice

Solely heard, solely said
Those words
That
Were racing
Racing around my head.

Are they good?
Are they bad? 

Answers in between 

Something I’ve seen 
But
Never had.

Make Me Be

January 18, 2024
Make Me Be ~ Photo by Patrice

Make me be the one
That sees joy, laughter
In all that comes near 
Before me.

Let me
Not
See the tyrant’s anger
The anguish of the beseeched
Who need.

No, make me
A place of quietness
Filled with pleasantries
For all that
Come to me, that I meet.

It Hasn’t Been

January 11, 2024
It Hasn't Been ~ Illustration by Patrice

It hasn’t been
The easiest thing 

It hasn’t been 

Toil, stress  
Heartache and distress
What a mess 

Easy
It hasn’t been 

Tomorrow, next week
Maybe
Next year 

Things will be
Easy
Simple and clear 

But 

Today
Today, it hasn’t been.
