Never Saw It Coming

Great Danes from Purina's Hall of Fame ~ Watercolour by Patrice

Never saw it coming
Didn’t know it would
Now have to accommodate
With everything I should.

Never chose the situation
Didn’t know I could
But will immerse myself
Make it all that I should.

Known, Unknown

May 30, 2019

Running First ~ Photo by Patrice

Known is not known
Known anywhere

Bright, airy time goes by
Changing, blending caring
Not caring whether we know
What’s to come
Or why things were done

It’s unknown that known
To come.

I Don’t Hear Your Story Now

May 28, 2019

Blooms in a Storm ~ Photo by Patrice

I don’t hear your story now
All is oblivious somehow
Rain has poured the storyline away
Gone for tomorrow
Not to exist yesterday.

A thought comes to mind

If I think of it now
And it exists in the present
Must have been lived yesterday
And will go forward to tomorrow
Being lived all the way.

My Bleeding Heart

May 27, 2019

 

Bleeding Hearts ~ Photo by Patrice

The trouble with my heart
It bleeds, bleeds love
It has from the start.

 You can’t tell me
Your heart has never felt
My bleeding heart.

I Journey To My Home

Teddy at the farm ~ Photo by Patrice

I journey to my home
The place where I was born.

Memories past, life I did before
Some heartache, some laughing then and now.

I journey to the place
I was born, I journey home.

Told

May 23, 2019

Foxy Painting ~ Watercolour Art by Patrice

I’ve been unusually bold
Saying things
maybe should
Not be told.

My heart does laugh
The secrets out
Its been told.

But then again
My mind does know
Repercussions come
From places
Yet untold.

I Haven’t Got The Answer

May 22, 2019

Wolverine Standoff ~ Watercolour by Patrice

I haven’t got the answer
Don’t know what is the fight
But standing, hands on hips
Feet planted on the ground
Ready to fight and stand
Stand my ground.

Fight for
What I know is good
And what I know is right
Guess that’s my answer
Guess that’s my fight.

I Hear The Grass Growing

May 21, 2019

Spring Garden ~ Photo by Patrice

I hear the grass growing
See the leaves unfurl
No clock ticking
Telling them their journey
Their time is now due
Yet each and every year
They know just what to do.

 The reason I’ve discovered
A mind
A mastermind is holding court
Creating, making things
The way they should be
And telling them
Just what they should do.

Butterfly

Wood Butterfly ~ photo by Patrice

Butterfly

From my window I see you fly
Crossing by

Butterfly

Your beauty is exquisite
Coloured a wondrous earthy brown

Butterfly

Never growing old
Nor flying far away

Butterfly

In winter’s frozen cold
You fly, butterfly

Butterfly

Etched forever in cedar wood
My very own

Butterfly

Thou I imagine one day you will come alive
Flying with other butterflies

Butterfly

To far away places, warm, full of beauty
Butterfly fly

Butterfly

That’s when I’ll say goodbye
To my precious wooden

Butterfly.

Words

May 16, 2019

Classic Car ~ Illustration by Patrice for B.C. Central Credit Union

I go to write
Listening for the words to form
Pictured in my mind they come
They take their form
On the page they rest
Now said, now wrote.

I thank the presence
That brought them to my mind
Formed the thoughts to convey
And then
Without another word
Quietly slipped away.
~ Patrice
