See me
I am here.

See me
I must not fear
You see.

See me
In all I be
See me.

The Beauty Of A Sunset

August 29, 2013

Filtered Sun ~ photo by Patrice

The beauty of a sunset
Filtered sun falling thru
The splendour of the sea
Nothing can impress
Like the world around of me.

No one will see the ugly
No one can forsaken me
For in my opinion
My heart is an untold wonder story
That I’m settling down to read.

Some Days Are Better

August 28, 2013

Some days are better
No matter the weather
So, make this day better
Than all of yesterday’s best.

I am here
Nowhere else but here
Right now
Won’t be here forever
But I’m here right now.

Mist Rises From A Land

August 26, 2013

Beauty of St. Lucia ~ photo by Patrice

Mist rises from a land
Wet with prosperity
Vibrant green leads the way
On a day full
Of joy and loyalty.

This is my day all the way
Nothing will stop me
From being that person
The land, wind and rain
Will make me.

Mist rises and I see
What I need in a land vibrant
Filled with prosperity
This will lead me
Complete me, making me that
What I need to be.

Then it was over.
And I stood on the precipice watching my heart flow away.

My Pen

August 22, 2013

My pen writes what I say
My pen never questions
The words I put down.

Anyone can use
My pen
It doesn’t care but writes
What the fingers share.

My pen
Follows along
Putting down the thoughts
Without it the words would
Be long, long gone.

My pen
Is always there
Then its done
And I get another one
My pen.

A Massasauga Rattler Lazing On My Deck

August 21, 2013

A massasauga rattler lazing on my deck
Not supposed to be here but here she is
I know, I don’t suspect.

My rottie drew my attention to
A massasauga rattler there upon my deck
Hissing and rattling
Don’t mess with her — you bet!

Is this a massasauga rattler sleeping on my deck?

Sadness Day Yesterday

August 20, 2013

Remember Benji ~ photo by Patrice

Sadness day yesterday
Nothing wrong just felt
An overwhelming sad song
Playing havoc in my head
All day long.

Weeping, sleep could not keep
Me from that wrong song
All I could hear was that
Overwhelming sad song
Playing, weeping in my heart
Throughout the day
All day long.

Maybe today that song
That sad song
Will be forever gone
All day long.
