Never Known Where I Belong

January 6, 2015

Rottie Pups ~ Painting by Patrice

Never known where I belong
Seems to me my whole family
Is just wrong.

Why? Why?

Neither does my love’s
Seem willing to embrace
Me strong.

Why? Why?

I don’t know where I belong
Wherever I go
The same seems to apply.

Why? Why?

Am I from another earth?
Do I belong in a time
Gone by?

Can’t say
Don’t know what’s wrong.

Or should I just understand
The world belongs to those
That accept different as they are
Part of the woven web
Is what we are.

We belong, we belong
I now know where it is I belong.

Good Beginnings

Good beginnings
Caress the past
Moving forward
Beyond the last
Making new ones
As they come to be.

No one knows
Just what’s in store
Only that the way
Is open and
Pulls us through
Here to this day.

Showing
Another time
Beginning now today
But always, always
Starting yesterday.

My life
Is a series of intentional accidents
Given to me by the universe.

Last Day Of A Time

December 31, 2014

Poinsettia ~ Photo by Patrice

Last day of a time gone thru
When everything’s done
Came back lived by me, by you.

Looking forward to days ahead
Not back at neither sorrow or dread
Only joy, “Remember it” she said.

Bring it forward to this New Year
Live it to the fullest
With much good cheer!

I Am Not Here

Study of hands and paint brushes ~ Illustration by Patrice for New Chalice Brushes

I am not here, I am over there
I am everywhere in my mind.

My soul holds it all together
Here, there and everywhere.

Sitting Down

Sitting down
To think of something
Intelligently bright and just right
For the discussion I’m having
With myself tonight.

Did I Tell You Everything?

December 18, 2014

Mom and Dad

Did I tell you
Everything?

Did I say
Everything?

My heart knows no bounds
That it’ll go to give you
Everything.

I’ll cherish our relationship
Knowing it means
Everything.

Sacrifice Needs Not To Be

December 17, 2014

Golden Eagle ~ Illustration by Patrice

Sacrifice needs not to be
Nor neither give in
No
This is not your destiny.

Abuse no one in your passage
Just
Proud, strong and kind
These are what is needed
In all of human kind.

Courage To Understand

December 15, 2014

Courage
to understand.

Strength
to get it done.

Tolerance
to know
not everyone
is the same one.

Kindness
to guide
yourself and
those lost.

Awareness
to know when
and what.

Yourself

That’s all
it costs.

Secrecy

Secrecy.
It abounds in my mind.
All doors are shut there,
Only opened on rare occasions.
