Seek To Find

Seek To Find

Seek to find
The answer

Pleased
To know today

I have
The directions
To navigate all obstacles
To journey 
Find my way.

This Morning

July 13, 2023
This Morning ~ Photo by Patrice

This morning comes alive
Breathing new life
In the day 
The moment
Throughout all waking hours
To
Evening night.

Never speaking
Of
What must be done
What should be
Left behind. 

Only moving through
The day
Bringing everything
To evening
Where to rest, sleep
In the quiet 
Peaceful night.

Very, Very Still

July 11, 2023
Very, Very Still ~ Photo by Patrice

Cannot see
Nor
Can I feel
The essence of the world
All seems so
Very, very still. 

I wonder why
I ask the question
To the quiet presence
But
Still, still. 

Nothing says
The why
Nor can I feel 
All is
Very, very still.

No More Today

No More Today - Photo by Patrice

No more
Today. 

Tomorrow
Will be
What it turns out
To be. 

But
Today, only today
I’ll let it be. 

I’ll sit back
And
Enjoy my solitude
My serenity.

Beauty And Tolerance Are Key ~ Photo by Patrice

Beauty and tolerance are key to me
For a life full
Of
Love and majesty.

Let me
Keep on this path
Let me be in love with life
No matter what comes to be.

Before You Went Away

June 26, 2023
Before You Went Away ~ Photo by Patrice

You didn’t tell me
You didn’t say
Those words I needed to hear
Before
Before you went away.

Silence is all I hear
Silence
Fills the hour, the day.

I’d hoped
To hear you speak
I’d hoped
You’d say
Soft, loving words to me
Before you left
Before you went away

My Heart Does Weep

June 20, 2023
My Heart Does Weep ~ Photo by Patrice

My heart does weep
My eyes seek
The right in the world
Power to the kind and meek
No one left behind
No one held without tenderness. 

Make my heart glad
My soul soar
To the highest
As
My eyes, my eyes smile. 

That’s what I need
Without which
My heart weeps
And
Weeps and weeps.

You Have Known

You Have Known ~ Photo by Patrice

You have known
I can see
All the beauty, loveliness surrounding us
Surrounding me

In the morning
Tomorrow 
Will it be the same 

Will we see
All this magnificence
This majesty?

You Don’t Know

You Don't Know ~ Photo by Patrice

You don’t know
Nor
Have you seen
The answers to all
All that lives 
Has been. 

Neither
Have I
None have seen
But
No matter. 

We continue on
We trust we’ll know
When
The time is right
The hour has been.

Quietly, Silently

June 14, 2023
Quietly, Silently ~ Photo by Patrice

Quietly, silently
I move through thee, the mountains, the meadows  
So full of such beauty, majesty.

Tomorrow I’ll be in the midst of a stream
Flowing rapidly
Swimming with creatures silently, quietly.

 I will fly in the sky
Where birds live, laugh and die
I will be for a while, one of them.

No one will know
No one will be happier, happier than me
Moving quietly, silently.  
~ Patrice
