We Sat Silently Together

Chairs in Arbua ~ photo by PatriceWe sat silently together
No one saying anything
Silently wishing
We could bridge the chasm
That that silence brings.

I Seek The Answer

December 14, 2017

Trashed Feeder ~ Photo by Patrice

I seek the answer
Questioning
The reason things happen.

While souls stand silent
Not giving the answer
The reason.

It all comes with
Living
Within reason.

Seeking, Helping The World Turn

December 13, 2017

Wind Damage ~ Photo by Patrice

Seeking
Helping the world turn away
From the horrors, destruction
Man has played
No virtue in it, no redeeming grace
Just sadness and wretched feelings
In this place.

Maybe tomorrow
When the sun does rise
Man will wake up and take pride
In making a place where all are alive
Living in harmony not needing
To just survive.

Suffer The Consequences

Suffer the consequences
Feel the pain
Harken the anguish
Dodge the distain.

Nothing or no one
Can suffocate the flame
Let it burn, burn
Til you’re born again.

We Are Joyous

Watching Deer Watching ~ photo by Patrice

We are joyous
Moving along, forward
Into a distant future.

Hesitate, reach down
Look around, see
All the wonders
Growing
Living by your side.

Know
You’re not alone
Nor ever going to be.

For intertwined
In your soul, mine
And all that
Has ever been.

Seeking, Seeing Frustration

December 6, 2017

Marten River - Photo by Patrice

Seeking, seeing frustration hurt
Haunting me
Move to the left, turn to the right
Nothing works, not tonight
Maybe tomorrow the sun will shine
Clouds escape to a happier time
Taking me with them on a path fluffy white
Filled with joy gentle and kind
No regrets
For I’m in that happier time.

In The Morning

December 5, 2017

Red Sunset ~ Photo by Patrice

In the morning
The sun does rise
Spreading warmth, beauty
Across the skies.

Mine to behold
Mine to see
Mine to be part of
Forever, into eternity.

The Feeder Hangs

December 4, 2017

Squirrel reaching bird-feeder ~ Photo by Patrice

The feeder hangs
Quiet and discreet
Waiting for company
To enjoy her treats.

No bad or evil thoughts
Does she convey
Feeding all who happen
To pass her way.

Filled up or near empty
She stands quietly there
Holding something
She lives to share.

Never Understood

December 1, 2017

Mulmur Hills Squirrel ~ photo by Patrice

Never understood
How you could walk away
Never turning round
To even say
A kind goodbye

Never understood.

Can’t figure out why
Why it made me cry
Wish with all my heart
I too
Could leave and maybe die

Never understood.

Not now in that awful moment
Moved on and found
The world a lovely place
Full of treasures, beauty, grace
Making all that heartache
Pass away

That, I understand.

But in brief moments
Of some days
I think of you
And still

Can never really understand.

I Sit Here Wishing

November 30, 2017

Ceile at the Beach ~ Photo by Patrice

I sit here wishing
What is
Could not be.

Hoping life
Would be a little gentler
Take pity on me.

Trusting it
Will get better
So all can be happy.

Doesn’t matter what I wish
Cause life is
What it will be.
