I spoke to you
You spoke to me
Together we spoke of majesty.

The World Doesn’t Leave Me

The world doesn’t leave me far behind
It holds me, helps me
Giving all I need
All
That’s divine.

I Hear The Voices Call

October 30, 2018

Redheaded Woodpecker on a Snowy Day ~ Photo by Patrice

I hear the voices call
They echo through the valley
Down the lane and thru
The crowd at the mall.

Not sure just what they’re saying
No clear words call
But their meaning I hear, I feel
With every voice that speaks
Every echoing call.

Let The Quiet Come In

Let the quiet come in
Let it spread throughout
Your body, your very soul.

Let hurry not come in
Keep it at bay, say no words
That make it run away
With your solitude.

Deep breath in, slowly let it out
Embrace quiet
Feel it spread throughout.

Normal

October 25, 2018

Face Study ~ illustration by Patrice

Times are tough, people rough
Struggle to maintain
A sense of normal.

A kind of place where grace
Is the highest trait
That we take and try to make it
Seem so normal.

They’ll play another tune.

When I Fall

Ice Storm 2016 ~ Photo by Patrice

When I fall
I must get up
Look to the horizon
Never giving up.

Failure is only a learning step
Nothing happens
That you can’t accept
Learn or forget.

Nothing To Write

Morning Still ~ Photo by Patrice

Nothing to write, nothing to say
Just looking out
Seeing
An absolutely beautiful, breathtaking day

Sorely Saddened By My Loss

Sorely saddened by my loss
So very hard to pay this cost
Of living life with those I love
Now gone, I pay the price
For loss of them in this life.

But

I’ll gladly pay that price again
For the years of love
I’ve been given
It’s priceless even though
I know
I’ll be sad down the road.

Saddened by my loss
Is a price I’ll gladly pay
To have had you in my life
Even if for just a day.
