Morning Doves And Evening Grosbeaks

February 6, 2019

Grosbeaks at the Feeder ~ Photo by Patrice

Morning doves and evening grosbeaks
Ever wonder why the names they got
What they seek?

And how come blue jays cry?

While chickadees speak
Crows caw?

Truth is, that too
We don’t know why.

Remember Me?

February 5, 2019

Remember me?
Remember when?

When the world was round
The sky a vibrant blue
And you and I were love so true

Remember?
Remember me?

I remember you.

I Feel Life

January 30, 2019

Footprints In the Sand ~ Photo by Patrice

I feel life
I feel the ebb moving on
Moving ahead
Thru from the past
To the edge of all being.

Stopping there
Somewhere in the future
Blocking none
Holding nothing back
moving on
Always, always right on track.

How Do I Know

How do I know, know what to do
How do I know
Please tell me the path
The best way
The right things to do.

I’m not alone, can’t be alone
For everything, all that I know
I know you’ve told me
Everything
I’ve needed to know to do.

What Has Happened?

Filtered Sunlight ~ Photo by PatriceWhat has happened?
What will be today?
No one telling’
Just moving, moving on their way.

Couldn’t hear directions
Couldn’t see the way
Couldn’t, couldn’t remember my journey
From that other day.

Must trust the Master
Must believe, believe he’ll guide me
On this that is
My journey’s way.

Everything Doesn’t Seem

January 24, 2019

Ice Storm Aftermath ~ Photo by Patrice

Everything
Doesn’t seem
What its suppose to be
Everything is chaotic, messy
Heading
For a catastrophe.

Now
I come on the scene
And what is my job
My destiny
To clean up this mess
Straighten out this disastrophe?

Or
To be just happy
Just me
And the chaos, messy
Will settle
Be what its suppose to be.

Snow Falls Silently Down

January 23, 2019

Winter Snow ~ Photo by Patrice

Snow falls silently down
Snowploughs roar
Spreading sand, salt
Across roads far around.

Oblivious birds sit in trees
Hunkered down
A fox yips, a crow cries
All says
A winter’s day is on the rise.

Our Best

January 21, 2019

Amaryllis ~ Photo by Patrice

We look to do our best
To see the best
And live a life of no unrest.

Sometimes it works
Sometimes we fail.

But in the end
we live, we love
We follow our destiny’s trail.

Heartfelt Heartache

January 15, 2019

Old House Window ~ Photo by Patrice

Heartfelt heartache
Bleeding me dry
Remorse
Smouldering
As I cry.

No cruel words
Need to be said
For flags of submission
Can be seen
Flying overhead.

I’m on a downward
Roll-a-coaster slide
Out of control
Bleeding
As I die.

Life Is A Joy

January 14, 2019

Life is a joy
Nowhere is there room
For sadness
Heartache nor doom.

If you see that
All comes to be
Just what
Just what you need.
