Some Things Go Around

May 21, 2014

Heather's Shelties ~ Watercolour by PatriceSome things go around
Same as before
Nothing changed
Just the same, once more.

Once more
Once more  some things go around
Go around
Same as before.

Husk Falls

May 20, 2014

Seeds, Tree and Squirrel ~ Photo by Patrice

Husk falls, dropping to the ground
Seeds of wonder spattered all around.

Dead or dying not necessarily their fate
Taking food, taking strength
From the earth, the ground on which
They were spat, they grow and create.

Slowly, quietly up to mighty trees
Strong and wondrous they unfold
Dropping seeds that too
Like magic wonder, grow.

The Morning Sun Rises

The morning sun rises
On a day that’s
My brothers Birthday!

Brightly shinning sun
Waving branches on a soft breeze
Delicate opening flower petals
Gently rolling water
Snacking squirrels
And a prancing baby fawn
They all say
HAPPY BIRTHDAY!!!
To my brother on his Birthday.

Have a great day my brother
And may I say too
HAPPY BIRTHDAY!!!

Shingles Have Taken Over My Face

May 9, 2014

Black Coral ~ photo by Brent

Shingles have taken over my face
Pain and tingling, ravage taking place.

Pills medicate leaving sleepy
Laying down the only peace.

Mending now, I’ll take a rest
Hoping soon to be in a better place
With no shingles on my face.

Security Upmost Desired

May 7, 2014

Jane and Tulip ~ Photo by Patrice

Security upmost desired
Trying to disappear into a flowing atmosphere
No ties, just don’t understand the how, why and when.

Big hog muscling in, grasp a hold, bring it in
Stand secure with all you are and have been
For no model broken cause before it has never been.

You Don’t Know What I Know

May 6, 2014

Giraffe ~ Stipple art by Patrice

You don’t know what I know

You don’t feel what I feel

You don’t see what I see

You can’t hear what I hear

Because

You are not and never will be me.

Beat Myself Up

Beat myself up
Curse the way
That got me here.

Need to let up
Need to be happy
That I’m living, existing
With breath to breathe
In this atmosphere.

Forget the bad, the negative
And the sad
Seeing only pleased
And grateful inside of me.

Forgive me and thee
Forgive and live
Live here
On the right side of happy.

The Heart Is Mended

May 2, 2014

Succulent Flower ~ Photo by Patrice

The heart is mended, the life is fine
No thought is taken
Of what happened back in time.

Moving forward, risking not
Becoming ice
In a land that’s hot.

Then in the midst of emptiness
She dares, she dreams
she dreams a lot.

Bright The Day

May 1, 2014

Ancient Mexico ~ Photo by PatriceBright the day that brings me light
Illuminates my path, my rights.

Stepping into brightened day
Basking in the guiding sun
Warmth of those
Whose love holds me steady
On my path, my lightened way.

No darken soul
Frightened, weakened by remorse
Feelings, wrongs done no more
My path is lit, my light is bright
Onward, upward with my guiding light.
