Quiet

September 7, 2021
Quiet  ~ Photo by Patrice

Living in the
Quiet 
Listening to the solitude 
Feeling all emotions 
Surface. 

Maybe tomorrow will be
Riotous 
But for now living today
Where all is
Quiet.

A House, A Home

Elaborate Birdhouse ~ Photo by Patrice

In the forest I found
A house, a home
So profound.

No windows to shed light
But a cozy home, a place for respite
Adorned with flowers pink and white
A bell to toll when someone
Strange comes lurking
Late at night.

A front door I can’t find
Yet welcome are all
Who poke their head inside.

May you see this house
So profound
May you enjoy all it has to give
There in the forest
This house, this home
That I found.

Totally In The Dark

September 2, 2021
Totally In The Dark ~ Photo by Patrice

Totally in the dark 
Absolutely unable to see 

Whether the world will 
Come and hold me 
Keep me safe 
Or
Throw me to the wolves 
Surrounding me 

Could it be 
The wolves will be 
My saviour 
Surrounding, protecting me 

Totally in the dark 
Absolutely unable to see.

Hoping To See Joy

Travel thru Time ~ Photo by Patrice

Hoping to see joy in all humanity
As we transverse thru our lives
Holding each close
No tears cried
No hope denied
Just care and love in all our lives.

The world has come
And
In the process of go
Where
I don’t know

Purple Wildflower - Photo by Patrice

I’ll follow along
And
Hang on tight
For I’ve nowhere else
To go
Not tonight.

Rain Flows

August 12, 2021
Lasted used Aug. 12/21

Rain flows, thunder roars 
Skies dark
The world holds its breath. 

A storm races through 
Her heartless devastation clearly shows 
Nature knows what she can do. 

Later the skies will clear 
The sun will shine
Birds glide on breezes
Blowing softly in blue, blue skies. 

All is clear
The storm’s destruction
Has disappeared. 

Everything is calm 
We have weathered another storm.

Today

Today ~ Photo by Patrice

Golden rays of sunshine 
Drift thru the quiet day 
Today
Is the only thought 
For tomorrow does not yet exist.

I Have Heard

August 4, 2021
I Have Heard ~ Photo by Patrice

I have heard
your sweet voice sing 
seen bad weather
turn to spring. 

Nothing, nothing is for sure 
but with all my heart 
I will believe in
the magic of my dreams.

A Butterfly

August 3, 2021
Butterfly and Blue Flowers ~ Photo by Patrice

A butterfly lands and rests her wings 
sipping nectar
water
all delicious things. 

Then she leaves 
flutters away 
her bright colours
all on display. 

Maybe tomorrow
or
the day after today 
she’ll be
on her journey
to a southern land 
miles away.

Where there
too
she’ll sip more nectar 
fluttering
one flower to another
her colours on display
all those miles away.

We Work

July 26, 2021
We Work ~ Photo by Patrice

We work towards
a good ending 
we feel the ending come. 

Our hearts are remorseful 
knowing
this that’s to come. 

Will there be a tomorrow 
will it all end
today? 

Not ours to answer 
not ours
to know in any way.
