Flowing Freely

April 28, 2016

Water Rushing ~ Photo by Patrice

Flowing freely on the flow
Floating softly across the sky
Walking slowly around the bend
The funny thing is no one
Knows where I’ve been.

The Rest

April 21, 2016

Perfect Little House ~ Photo by Patrice

All the rest
It rests in tattered dust
No one picks it up
No one denys or condemns
Just lets it lie in dust
Almost covered up
Nearly gone from sight.

Did it exist?
Did it live and laugh?

Let it rest, let it rest
It’s work is done.

Let Me Know

April 20, 2016

Dark Night Tree ~ Photo by Patrice

Let me know what is right
What I need
To make it thru this dark night.

Hallowed honour makes the mistake
Thinking its important
What’s at stake.

Nothing matters most of all
Just let me know the name, the voice
I need to call.

Beautiful Sun

April 19, 2016

Chipmunk sunning himself ~ Photo by Patrice

Beautiful sun glows light
Filling sky, filling changing night
Beautiful sun does
What nothing else can do
Bringing life
Conceived in the dark of night
Light rises in the sky
As beautiful sun, morning light.

Sadness

April 18, 2016

Ice Storm Aftermath ~ Photo by Patrice

Sadness is
A part of life along with heartache, chaos
Unnecessary strife
No amount of humour will make them go away
They stay
Belonging to those that breathe sadness in their day.

Sadness though
Can too, live in a heart full of love
Along with kindness, gentle touch
And
Unconditional love.

Green is green is showing thru
Leaves are leaving snow white melting too
Buds budding bringing life
Spring has sprung there is new life.

Destined To Travel

April 11, 2016

Road Travelled ~ Photo by Patrice

Destined to travel a winding road
Occasionally rough, sometimes cold.

Staying to the path can be hard
Any presence must be bold.

Looking at that what lives on my path
My feet move to the left, then to the right.

Forward, backward, all is and seems right
As my destiny travels the road to the light.

Sadness Is Something

April 7, 2016

Blue Violets ~ Photo by Patrice

Sadness is something
Sometimes, I want to be immersed in
Crying, silently
No joy to share
Not a drop, empty, hollow
I just can’t stop the affair.

Sadness does live with me
I allow her in
She stays with me
I don’t love her much
But still she’s been a comfort
Living here, amid my lonely thoughts.

Sadness, she pulls me in
Holding, engulfing  me
In a place that’s sad
So lonely
Crying, lying deep within
Becoming such a tragic sin.

When

April 4, 2016

Ice Storm ~ 2016 Photo by Patrice

When all the world whirls round
When a stranger stops and bends to the ground
When the heart feels compassion for those lost, wandering around
When no one knows hunger, anger or bad attitude
When we see magnificence in this body called me
That’s
When we’ll be living heaven on earth

Heaven on earth is where we all should be.

Marching On

March 30, 2016

Snapping Turtle ~ Photo by Patrice

Marching on
Thru the wind, the rain
All’s the same
But
Do I gain ground or just march
March on, march on.
