You just get older. ~ Patrice

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.

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.

Chaos And Wonder

May 1, 2017

Safe and Strong ~ Illustration by Patrice

 

 

Chaos and wonder
Are displayed
Reaching for justice
Dragons are slayed
No one comes forth
Nothing delayed
Anguish is vanquished
Honour laid
In beautiful heaps
At someone’s grave.

Pleasure, focus let it be
The main thing
To bring you
To your destiny.

Happiness is not something
You leave outside
But accompanies you inside
Staying by you thru all
Thats going to be.

Laugh, joke
See the reason
The sun does rise
Leaving behind dark
Brooding skies.

Your choice all this be
Happiness, pleasure
Laugh and see.

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.

We Keep Secrets

April 25, 2017

Jackal ~ Illustration by Patrice for Holt, Rinehart and Winston's reader, 'Flights Near And Far'

We keep secrets
We hold them tight
Never exposed
To see the morning light.

We keep secrets
Silent, secretive
They speak not a word
Sometimes to the grave
They’re carried, never heard.

We keep secrets
Untold secrets
We grasp them tight
Feeling the burden
The weight not light.

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.
~ Patrice
