It All Looks Different

March 9, 2015

It all looks different
But
Endlessly the same.

Made
To have significance
Without harbouring
Any name.

Trouble if you make it
Social
Just the same.

Quandary
What and where it lives
Inside of me
I hear
It’s sweet refrain.

Just what kind of birds do you get at your feeder?
Mine seem a little different.

Joyous Light

March 5, 2015

You're Right ~ Photo by Patrice

Joyous light following us tonight
Lighting all we need to know
On this dark passage that we go.

Guiding light we see tonight
Shows us the way
To a bright and glorious day.

Joyous, guiding light
Illuminating our way
Tonight.

We Are Changing

March 4, 2015

We are changing
Where we are.

We don’t see
What we’ve done.

We don’t belong
Where we need to be.

We are masking
Conceit with happy.

We are changing
Fortunately.

Suddenly

Suddenly
The heart goes to a place
Where there is
No end.

Suddenly
Unexpectedly
Not only when you think it should
It bends
Dipping low
Pouring out love all aglow.

Suddenly
The heart goes
Where hearts go
And bend.

Hold Out To Help

March 2, 2015

Hold out to help those that need
Including you if you please
Follow the path to the road
Journey on
On adventures still untold.

Don’t look back, look straight ahead
Glance to the left, look to the right
Keeping your focus on that bright, glowing light
There ahead
Showing you your own true life.

Three Years Ago Tomorrow

February 27, 2015

Patrice's avatarPatrice’s Art & Poetry Blog

MontyThree years ago tomorrow,
Monty died today.
I Feel the sadness and the pain
Just like it was yesterday.

He stayed with us a little longer
Not for himself, but to help make us stronger,
To be able to accept that final day.
Three years ago tomorrow,
When Monty died today.

To cherish and remember
All that was good and dear.
About Monty,
who three years ago tomorrow
Died today.

The last day of February,
The 29th to be exact
Which tomorrow isn’t there
So, three years ago tomorrow,
Monty died today.

Hearts Aflame

February 26, 2015

Storm Clouds ~ Photo by Patrice

Thunder crashes hearts aflame in anger
Love
All things no one can blame
No answers right
Nor all wrong found tonight
Only thoughts a hunger for those
Roaming a tortured mind
Late in this cold, dark night.

Cold And White

February 25, 2015

Deer resting in the night ~ Photo by Patrice

Cold and white
Blowing blizzard on this night.

Blaze aflame with no aim
To be the one who warms your heart
Frozen by drifting, deadly white.

Hurt me today.”
