Farmhouse Face and Lilacs ~ Photo by Patrice

May the trees survive winter
Blossom in the spring
Sending forth life
Giving all, nourishing.

May the sun rise in the morning
Rest asleep at night
To come up the next morning
Bringing warmth, love
And fields of waving buttercup delight.

May the seeds dropped in fall
Spring, rise, growing tall
Spreading roots out for nourishment
Leaves reaching up, growing
Til the fall.

May the wind blow breezes
Both strong or gentle
And then not at all.

May they bring on currents
Moisture, rain to quench
The thirst of everyone
Everyone, everything and all.

May, may we live
May we live us all.

Thoughts

April 27, 2023
Thoughts ~ Photo by Patrice

Thoughts come, then they go

Some back to where
They need to go 

Others stay in my mind 
Developing, expanding, growing
Growing.  

So what do I do? 

Follow thru
Or
Leave them
To fester, to stew?

Where You’ve Been

April 26, 2023
Where You've Been - Photo by Patrice

I don’t know where you’ve been  
My heart it cries 
My soul is lost upon a sea of sadness
As
Winds blow despair 
Through a place so sorrowful
So extreme.

Then you come
You are here once again
Joy rises 
My lips are filled with loving kisses
Ecstasy
Thunders in my heart  
Yes, you are everything
You’re all I need.

Come lie beside of me
Let us be together
Never again
For me to wonder where
You could have gone
Where you’ve been.

Heaven Help Me Understand

April 25, 2023
Heaven Help Me Understand ~ Photo by Patrice

Heaven help me understand
All the thoughts
Going through my mind 
My hands. 

Are they real
Are they
Something I’ve done
Should do? 

Which ones are right
which ones should I leave 
What ones do I need 
I understand? 

All these thoughts in my head 
Are they in
Within
My command?

Til My Heart Burns Out

April 21, 2023

Til my Heart burns out ~ Photo by Patrice

I’ll hold you
Til my heart burns out
My lips not speak
And
My eyes won’t cry.

Then and only then
Will I let you go
Free
To be in eternity.

I’ll still be there
And
Together we’ll share
A love so strong
Not a word or a universe
Can keep us apart.

For you, you see
Will always be
A burning
A burning in my heart
For me.
~ Patrice

Questions And Answers

April 20, 2023
Questions And Answers ~ Photo by Patrice

Where have you been? 

What have you done? 

Will you still be part of my life
or
is that all done? 

These questions
I ask 

The answers
I need 

For I too
must go forward
and
I do hope
that
you’ll be there

With me.

Oh So Grand

April 13, 2023
So Grand - Photo by Patrice

Let me see all the beauty, majesty
Spread out across the land
So simple
But
Oh so grand. 

Let me not take for granted
All that she has to offer
All that is so simple
Yet
Oh so grand. 

Let me hear
The singing of birds, a lonely wolf  
They too have a voice
Be it so simple
But 
Oh so grand.

Peace

April 11, 2023
Peace ~ Photo by Patrice

Peace has come
Peace lets me see
That the world is full of kindness 
Gentleness 
Most of all majesty.

Let me be in this peaceful place
Let me be
Full of gentle grace
Not judging anyone
Not even me. 

Tomorrow will be
Another day
Tomorrow will let me see
That
We can all live together
In peace, love and harmony. 
~ Patrice

Remnants Of Winter

April 5, 2023
Remnants Of Winter ~ Photo by Patrice

The remnants of winter lie
Melting away
Littering the roads, rivers
Even the optimistic sky.

Up from the last days of winter
Springing
To the cloudy skies
Buds emerge
Promising renewed life. 

Living
Because of melting remnants
Winter’s last gasp
Her dying cries.

Spring Will Come

Crocus in spring ~ Photo by Patrice

Spring will come and be spectacular
Leaving behind winter cold and white
No more fighting for
Warmth in long days of brilliant sunlight
Can’t wait for you to arrive
To be basking in
Your freshness, beauty and majesty
All things alive.
~ Patrice
