The Hearts

October 17, 2018

The hearts of men and every woman
Beat, pound a melodic rhythm
Breath taken in, breathing out
Lungs expand and eyes look about
Fingers touch a soft, gentle ground
As feet run full speed all around.

All this done with not a thought
Of how to do it or where it starts
For life begins and only stops
When the end has come
And the heart, it stops.

Hearing The Reason

October 16, 2018

Hearing the reason
With no understanding
Why.

Going forward
Believing
I’ll know the answer
In the sweet bye and bye.

Save Myself, Help Myself

Save myself, help myself
Do not accept defeat
Power, strength moves mountains
Higher expectations cancel out retreat.

Now is the time to stand
Stand right on the line not looking back
Accepting the fact that I am
I am.

I am the one who has the will
The power to help and save
That person who I am
This I know, I know I am.

Finding My Way

October 11, 2018

Finding my way
Sometimes is the hardest thing
I have to do.

Many paths to take
Which is right
For me, for you.

Let no one decide
Make the decision for me
Or for you.

Inside, we know the right path
The one to take
Just listen, they’ll tell you.

Listening To The World Pass By

October 2, 2018

Palm Tree in Blue Sky ~ Photo by Patrice

I sit listening
To the world pass by
My heart is open
I do not cry.

Many words are spoken
Without a sound
Never enough love
Is passed around.

I will beckon, I will try
To get the attention
Of the one in charge
Of this world
I’m listening, pass by.

Holding On To Something Right

October 1, 2018

Holding on to something right
Moving forward thru darkness
Into light.

Striving to be the best I can
All of this
While living life on my terms
As I am.

Fall Has Come

Fall Rain ~ Photo by Patrice

Fall has come, its presence felt
The lane is crowded with leaves that fell
Geese fly through coloured hills
Their honks ringing against clear, blue skys.

While squirrels cache seeds
Nuts and whatever they can fill
Holes hidden hopefully to remember
In the cold winter still.

Sorrow, anticipation crowd my mind
At the last of summer as it falls to winter
In midst of such beauty that sends
Chills to the soul and thrills the mind.

Don’t Fear

Fireworks in the Night Sky ~ Photo by Patrice

Don’t fear the light
Nor the darkness in the dead of night
They will all embrace you
Lead you
With a guiding light.

At Last

September 25, 2018

Broken Home ~ Photo by Patrice

Crisis happened, crisis passed
Striving to breathe deep breaths
At last, at last.

Hopeful for tomorrow
Sorry for what didn’t last
Finally I can accept myself
At last, at last.

Lighting Strikes A Hummingbird

Lighting strikes a hummingbird
As she sits, sleeping in the night.

Thunder crashes
Wind wails
Rain weeps.

No right is done
When tragedy screams thru
A dark, unforgiving night.
