No One Knows

No one knows 
No one cares 
On we go 
Pretending 
Pretending we don’t care.

You Had Me At The Start

May 24, 2022
You Had Me At The Start - Photo by Patrice

You had me at the start 
the start of the morning 
the beginning of night. 

You were with me 
as I traversed treacherous waters 
no saviour in sight. 

I began to understand 
how much I needed you 
when all alone 
in the middle of a terrible fight. 

Now, with you alongside 
I go thru the most dangerous times 
coming out into 
a magnificent, glorious light.

A Home Is A Home

A Home Is A Home ~ Photo by Patrice

A home is a home 
no matter the width, the size 
treasured forever 
lived in from birth 
to the time you die. 

Feel the gentle breathing 
of timbers and frame 
holding strong
in winter winds, torrential rains. 

All are welcomed 
with love, no despair 
come 
step into this home. 

There you’ll share 
laughs, great food 
and
a glass of sweet cheer.

I Have Heard And Think

Last used May 18/22

I have heard and think 
it is to be
a world full of greatness, love 
and most of all 
beauty. 

Let me see this world 
let me experience it’s beauty 
let me live in peace 
and most of all 
loving harmony.

Pleasantly

Pleasantly - Photo by Patrice

Pleasantly helping, pleasantly being 
the most my world
my life, myself
can be. 

There’s no better one to know
then me 
there’s nothing I want, desire 
except to be. 

The one who loves
cares and sees
beauty in all life and pleasantly being
all I can be.

A Hummingbird Came

May 11, 2022
A Hummingbird Came ~ Photo by Patrice

A hummingbird came to my window 
today 
not seen since 
in the fall 
when they all 
flew away. 

Sweet nectar she’s looking for 
needs right away 
hovering, looking in 
she tells me. 

Get it ready! 
Get it ready! 
Get it ready right away! 

The little hummingbird 
is 
hungry 
she’s flown such a distance 
from far 
far away. 

Now needs 
some sweet substance 
til 
all the blooms 
are 
on display. 

A hummingbird came to my window 
and 
told me all this 
just this morning 
just today.

But none, not a soul, no one
Saw me around.

When I Look Out To Sea

May 5, 2022
When I Look Out To Sea ~ Photo by Patrice

When I look out to sea 
I see you looking
looking back over
just at me 

The waves roll in
and
back out again 
bringing with them 
a message from overseas 
a message
you sent just for me 

In my thoughts I touch your lips 
say words of love 
then send them
on the wind 
over water, overseas 
to you with love 
just from me.

Lifting Up My Head

May 4, 2022
Lifting Up My Head ~ Photo by Patrice

Lifting up my head
my arms, my heart 
seeing all that could be 
seeing nothing 
that is 
empty, lost. 

Maybe tomorrow 
in the early morning light 
all the answers I seek 
will be before me 
holding me
with unprecedented love
oh so very tight.

The Sky Is Bright

The Sky Is Bright ~ Photo by Patrice

The sky is bright 
No clouds
In sight 
The way is open 
Light shows no notion of darkening
This glorious day 

I’ll move forward 
Positive 
Sure my path
Will be straightforward 
All obstacles
Moved 
Out of my way 

On, such a lovely day!
