Rain

May 11, 2017

Thunder Clouds ~ Photo by Patrice

Clouds thunder
Making sounds that whack
Fearful people shiver
Their hearts pierced
By a cold, wet spear
Dark black clouds blow
Souls washed away
In a heartless, driving rain.

Find shelter, find strength
Hold out your hand
Feel instead a soft gentle rain
No sounds course thru
Clouds white, fluffy
Surrounded in blue
Only a spatter of rain.

You are alright
You’ll grow
With this soft, nurturing rain
The sun, it’ll shine
Shine once again
After the rain.

Evening Blends

May 10, 2017

Evening Blends ~ Photo by Patrice

Evening blends, comes alive
Making darkness
An ever changing tide
Moving in, out of places
Like water’s course
As silence’s breath breathes quietly
Watching, waiting for the conclusion
Of someone’s destiny.

Disaster Has Struck

May 8, 2017

Broken Robin's Nest ~ Photo by Patrice

Disaster has struck
Things have happened
That
Just shouldn’t be.

There is all sorts of remorse
And wanting to deny
What
Has come to be.

Maybe tomorrow will be better
But right now
That
I just can’t see.

Unforgiving Is The Night

May 4, 2017

Dark Night Tree ~ Photo by Patrice

Unforgiving is the night
Waxing in pale moonlight
No remorse echoes
Thru this night
Only lonely wails of moonlight.

Sun will come and shine
Making night a distant time
But til then we’ll exist
We will survive
Darkness hiding in night’s cold, ebbing tide.

Making light of darkness
Smouldering heart feels sunlight.

I Heard Your Sweet Song

May 2, 2017

Morning Glory Fall ~ Photo by Patrice

I heard your sweet song
Calling all night long
I heard a melancholy refrain
Softly echoing down the lane.

I heard sadness
Filled with gladness
Call out
Call out again and again.

I heard your sweet song
Calling all night long
To those listening once again.

See The Rings

April 27, 2017

Sunlight in the wood ~ Photo by Patrice

See the rings
The rings of life
See them circle
Bringing
Embracing life
Different colours
Different lines
Going round
Since
The beginning of time.

Butterfly Flutters

April 26, 2017

Butterfly and Flowers ~ Photo by Patrice

Butterfly flutters
Breathing in sunlight
Going from left
To right
Landing on a flower
That feeds just right.

Beauty encompasses
Wings in flight
Staying still
Only a second
To take a taste
Of the drink of life.

Let Me See

April 24, 2017

Road and Rail Fence ~ Photo by Patrice

Let me see the art
Let me see the way
Let no one bar my path
But help me
On my way.

Bask in bright sunlight
See it shines for you
Never veering, always holding
Making all dreams
Come true.

Heaven Helps

Water Lilies ~ Photo by Patrice

Heaven helps
Helps me see
The things I need to see
Feel the things that will guide me
Hear the beauty in everything
Everything
Everything around me.
