A Hummingbird Sings

July 28, 2017

Patrice's avatarPatrice’s Art & Poetry Blog

A hummingbird hovers making sure its safe
To drink nectar that brings forth
A feeling of heaven’s gate.

A hummingbird’s wings sing as she flies
In between blooms sending scent promising
Just about everything.

A hummingbird’s nest of twigs and things
Babies so small
They are next to nearly nothing.

A hummingbird dodges leaves and flowers
On the hunt of insects nutritious there
Amongst other things.

But you know I don’t think
That I’ve ever heard
A hummingbird sing
Anything.

Heartbreak Takes The Mind

Heartbreak takes the mind
To places I wish I could decline
But instead I tread an uneven path
Cursing heartbreak all the way
Not understanding
This will change tomorrow
To be a happier place than all today.

The Lush Green Of Summer

July 19, 2017

The lush green of summer
Is contentment in lazy, hot days
Brief showers of warm shimmering
Summer rain.

Squirrels scurry away
Hummingbirds drink all day
Sun shinning bright in a clear blue
Summer sky.

All is right
As I lie
My eyes watching summer drift by.

Knowing Not

Knowing not
What the day will bring
Hoping, anticipating
All great things.

Here in my heart
I will bring
The best I can
It will mean everything.

Sleepy Tired

June 29, 2017

Sleepy tired
Worry wakes me in the night
Toss turn
Feeling no sleep
As anguish plays on my sleepless stage
In a darkness with no saving light.

Maybe in the morning
All will be clear
A path opening up, a way from here to there
But tonight greeted with only so many questions
Keeping me sleepy tired
In a dim, dark hopeless night.

Feeling

June 28, 2017

Feeling lonely, feeling sad
Feels like I’ve been bad.

Feeling so much
Feeling nothing, feels numb.

Feeling heartache
Then feels like I should run.

Away from all this feeling
Feel something no, feel none.

The Water Falls

The water falls
Cascading over everything
No place is dry or wanting.

Soft rainfall falls
Breathing life into everything
Feeling life, making.

The Method Is Exquisite

The method is exquisite
The outcome unpredictable
But that is the thrill of life
Live it.

The Winds Of Change Are Changing

June 2, 2017

Patrice's avatarPatrice’s Art & Poetry Blog

The winds of change are changing
The known is not here
We all believe in the future
We all want it to be right here.

The winds of change are changing
Bringing the future back to here
Everything we’re holding
Everything so oh so dear
Will soon be far, far in the rear.

The winds of change are changing
The present soon too, far in the rear
The future before us
Hold it close, hold it dear but
Never forget those we cherish
They’re now in the rear.
