Time Gone Bye

June 16, 2021

I sit here and write 
Of a time gone bye 
Of a time when laughter 
Reached
Hit the sky. 

When smiles
Were all you needed 
To be 
To be happy and carefree. 

But that time has passed 
That time has gone 
The world is dark 
Sorrow 
Misery all around. 

Maybe tomorrow 
A time will come 
Full of laughter 
Happiness 
All good things to come. 

I will live there 
I will survive 
I will taste good times 
They’ll be mine once again 
Soon and in
The sweet bye and bye.

Sweet Sorrow in your passing Shirley

Sleepy Tired

Sleepy tired
Worry wakes me in the night
Toss turn
Feeling no sleep
As anguish plays on my sleepless stage
In a darkness with no saving light.

Maybe in the morning
All will be clear
A path opening up, a way from here to there
But tonight greeted with only so many questions
Keeping me sleepy tired
In a dim, dark hopeless night.

Holding On

June 9, 2021
Holding On ~ Photo by Patrice

Holding down and very still 
As the world moves round 
Round 
Revolving forever 
Never still. 

Will I fall off
Or
Hold on 
Grasping threads
Of what’s to come?

Hardly know
Just holding on

The Help I Need

The help
I need 
I fear
is near. 

I hope 
I pray
it will guide me 
thru today from yesterday. 

I need 
I fear 
I hope 
I pray.

Thunder Clouds Fill The Sky

Thunder clouds fill the sky 
I ask myself 
The reason 
The reason why.

I Know You’re There

I Know You're There ~ Photo by Patrice

I know you’re there 
I’ve felt your sweet breath 
upon my face, my hair 
your soft voice sweetly calls 
from somewhere, somewhere
but I don’t know where 
your steps direct my feet 
they lead me in a way so discreet 
I can’t falter nor wander 
you guide me, guide me there 
I feel no despair 
you are with me where’er I go 
I know, I know you’re there.

Total Effects

Total Effects ~ Photo by Patrice

Total, total effects 
Seeing them, feeling their cause 
Aand
Certainly their effect 

Blessed they say 
Cursed say others 

Somewhere
There is the answer 
The total effect of what has been.

I Look Out

I Look Out ~ Photo by Patrice

I look out on the earth 
and see
things going on their way. 

Birds sing, flowers bloom 
bees fly
pollinating all they can 
they try. 

How can I not see beauty 
beauty
there in front of me? 

Thank the Lord 
for you see, he has done this 
all this magnificence 
all this beauty.

Cold And Freezing Rain

Cold and freezing rain
Falls from the sky
Falls
Taking no blame.

Only pours it’s heart out
Letting drops fall
Again and again
In cold, freezing rain.

A Big Milestone

May 11, 2021
A Big Milestone - Photo by Patrice

A big milestone
looms in my way 
not one to saunter to 
not one to bypass or ignore
not today. 

Strength and courage 
are mustered to surpass 
the obstacles seen today 
to that tremendous milestone 
on my path, on my way.
