The Answer

March 10, 2020

Morning Glories ~ Photo by Patrice

I don’t know the answer
Or
The way

Only thing I can do
Is have faith
And
Move forward
On my path

Hopefully

It is the answer
It is the way.

Raindrops

March 9, 2020

Bumblebee Working ~ Photo by Patrice

Morning rain falls
Resting in puddles
All along the path
As rainbows glisten in drops
Radiated by a rising sun.

No ones whistles
For the sound would break
The quiet of raindrops falling
Moist, life giving drops
Soaking into earth parched
From a now brighting sun.

By midday
raindrops have stopped
And are distance memory
In the evening
When the sun begins to fall.

Fulfilling all their duties
Raindrops wait
For another time
To fall, to drip
Most of all, to drop.

Taking Care

March 5, 2020

Winter Flower ~ Photo by Patrice

Taking care to be enveloped
By love felt in your gentle grasp
Smelling the sweet fragrance
In your breath
As the warmth of your embrace
Takes me to a place
So full of heaven
I never want to leave
Leave this
Your warm embrace.

Hold me til my feet do soar
High in the heavens
No tethers or strings
To keep me trapped
Only love felt in all my bones
With my lips kissed by kindness
I know I’ve found heaven
In this, our love
A love
Only we can know.

I Wonder, Wonder Where

March 4, 2020

Hanging Squirrel ~ Photo by Patrice

I wonder, wonder where
The squirrel at the feeder
Came from.

Where the sun was before
It shone in the sky.

When people thought
That they may fly.

What was said when
The mountains fell.

As a earthquake opened up
And shattered the ground.

I wonder, wonder where
The answers can be found.

At Last

March 3, 2020

Tree and Dark Sky ~ Photo by Patrice

Terrible times come to past
Seems they last and last
But
The truth is they never last

They come

They leave

At last, at last.

I Feel The Wheels Turning

March 2, 2020

Pebbles and Rocks ~ Photo by Patrice

I feel the wheels turning
I know
I’m moving ahead
left behind is the quandary
shall I stay safe
or
go forward instead.

The path is convoluted
many twists and turns ahead
but I know
I feel
It’s the only road I must travel
before I sleep
lay down
rest my weary head.

Anger, Frustration Seems To Be

February 27, 2020

Winter's Road ~ Photo by Patrice

Anger, frustration seems to be
My method of operation
Thinking thoughts bitter
And angry today.

Can’t seem to find the way
Or the answer to my questions
I need
I need them today.

All is a quandary
Just unseen and blind
For me to see
On this day.

Maybe I should step back
Breathing deeply
Maybe, I’ll find answers,
This way.

I won’t be bitter or angry
I’ll find my route, my path
I’ll be on my way.

Let Me

February 26, 2020

 

Day Moon ~ Photo by Patrice

Let me hold all that is holy
Feeling the radiance
Flow thru my body
Into the universe
As all is sacred and well.

Let me be part
Of that universe
Feeling those worlds above
While in harmony with
That which is around
And beneath me.

Let me feel these things
And let me just
Be me.

Holding On

Holding on
Holding fast
Letting the world twirl round.

Standing on solid ground
I hold on
Hold on, hold on.

Don’t Let The World Cheat You

February 18, 2020

Swinging Bridge in Costa Rica ~ Photo by Patrice

Don’t let the world cheat you
By not telling the truth
As known it to be.

Let not the hidden monsters be
The ones controlling
Your thoughts, your actions
Anymore.

No, tell them to go to Hell
And settle there forever
Forever more.
