It

April 2, 2019

Not having
It
Not seeing
It
Not feeling
It
Not sure what
It is.

But I’m hoping for
Pleading for
Trying to accomplish
It.

Don’t Know Why

March 27, 2019

Man in Waterfalls ~ Photo by Patrice

I don’t know why
The sky does cry
The wind wail
And the earth spin
Endlessly.

I don’t know why
I don’t know
Don’t know why.

What To Do

March 26, 2019

Robins in Spring ~ Photo by Patrice

I read the lines, saw the words
But no thought came to mind
Had no idea what was said
No vision of what to do.

My soul was cold
My heart frozen over
My ears, my eyes
Knew not what to do.

My feet they left
Never knowing the answer
To the question asked
Never knowing what to do.

Home Is Heart

March 25, 2019

Thor on the Trail ~ Photo by Patrice

Home is heart, heart is home

Speak softly

Let no one feel alone

Be together
Whether near or far apart

Act according
To the followings of your heart.

Spring Will Come

March 20, 2019

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.

Tied In A Knot

March 19, 2019

Long, lingering ties ~ Photo by Patrice

Stomach tied in a knot
Don’t know what is, what’s not
Blessed be the ones
That know their path, their way
No one need show.

Me, is it me alone
Doesn’t know the way
Can’t see the trail
Lost in woods dark and travail
Calling out is of no avail.

Breath in, breath out
Calmly think, think it out
The way is there
The signs will show
Just stop, look, see
Then for sure, you’ll know.

I Thought

I thought of that
And now don’t know why.

I thought of this
And now I feel a need to cry.

I thought of things
And still didn’t feel a thing.

I thought so
And now I know I didn’t know
Anything.

Heard

March 13, 2019

Red Tulip ~ Photo by Patrice

You heard me speak
You heard me say
Words that you took away
Making us forever friends
Even til today.

I heard you speak
I heard you say
These words I write
I write today.

House Of Cards

Old House Window ~ Photo by Patrice

House of cards
Comes crashing down
Never built on solid ground
No ace, jack nor king
Only a queen in mourning.

Haven’t Learned My Lesson

March 7, 2019

Aruba contemplating ~ Photo by Patrice

Haven’t learned my lesson
Haven’t done my job
Sacrifices taken
But
Still can’t understand
The reason
Nor
The writings
In the Almighty’s Log.
