Suddenly

Suddenly
in the midst of nothing
something emerges
good or bad, sad or mad
blessed with love or just in love

Suddenly
it’s all that I have.

Remember To Love

November 12, 2020

 Remember To Love ~ Photo by Patrice

Remember to love
And
Respect thy self.

Let no man, woman or child
Be above the love you show
Yourself.

For if you are lost
To the thoughts of another
You are lost to you.

Hard as it may be
Love with gentleness
Respectfully.

Hard To Know

November 11, 2020

 Hard To Know ~ Photo by Patrice

Hard to know, hard to see
everything in focus
and clearly.

Readjust, move to the centre
centre of everything.

There in the midst of greatness
You’ll be part of and it’ll be
all of thee.

Holding Up The Light

November 10, 2020

Holding Up The Light ~ Photo by Patrice

Holding up the light
searching all thru the night
seeking happiness
in the darkest places
trying desperately to turn on
even a glimmer of light.

Maybe tomorrow
when the sun shines it’s light
I’ll fine the joy and happiness
I’ve been searching
seeking
all thru this dark, dark night.

Have You?

Have You? ~ Photo by Patrice

Have you?

Have you heard the bird sing?
Have you been alive to that morning song?
Have you known all along
summer’s secret and winter’s call?

Have you?

The answer is not easy
no, not at all
not at all.

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

Knowing who I am is hard to acknowledge
When the world tries its damnedest
To change what I am.

Place My Way On The Path

November 5, 2020

Place My Way ~ Photo by Patrice

Place my way on the path

Write the lines
the direction I wish to go

Hear the sayings of someone who’s been there
knows the way

Kindly bless the presence
that guides me today.

Morning

November 4, 2020

Morning ~ Photo by Patrice

No morning goes
No morning sees
The end of day or in-between
Success at living
Bringing life
With the sun’s rising from below
To the now emerging morning
Intro.

Easing into day
Sliding towards night
The morning rises
Bringing promise
Of good things to come
With a glorious morning
Sun.

Lies

November 3, 2020

Silhouette Orchid ~ Photo by Patrice

You haven’t been
Completely honest
With me, you or anybody
Always telling half truths
Bald faced lies

The question is
Why, why?

Nothing gained by your actions
All lost in the aftermath
Of your lies
Your sordid lies,
Lies.

Will I tomorrow see
A new you as you say
The one to tell the truth

Or

Is it just another lie
One of your many, many
Lies.
