Soft And Fluffy White

November 25, 2013

Snow Storm ~ photo by Patrice

Soft and fluffy white
Settling, blowing light
Blows across fields buried
In white snow.

A caw sounds the sound
That winter’s come
It’s all around
Listen, listen to that sound.

Birthday boy you are today
Across the land
We celebrate this your day.

Happy Birthday!
Let it be a time to laugh
Celebrate that you be.

Many more I say
To you, you see
Happy, Happy Birthday be!

Beautiful White Neither Dark Nor Cold

Beautiful white neither dark nor cold
In the night holding close
Tender ones needing hearts warmed
By a cloak of soft winter snow.

Our Neighbour Died

November 22, 2013

Wayne's Home ~ photo by Patrice

Our neighbour died
He passed away
Gone to heaven
Just today.

Sadness, remorse
Deep regret
Don’t know what happened
Just yet.

Lights on, police car
Soft voices heard
All seems extremely quiet
Even calm.

Most likely
They can’t believe
He’s gone.

Passed away
In the night they say
Just heard he’s gone
Gone yesterday.

Great guy
No more to say
Our neighbour died
He passed away.

Quiet

Quiet
Quietly moving past eternity
Into depths full of ecstasy.

Pause
Step forth into your realm
Saturated with the crown
Of great things done and to do.

All
All this, this is you.

Snow Lies And Blows

November 20, 2013

Stormy Road ~ photo by Patrice

Snow lies and blows
Across the space not enclosed
Cold and frigid it has no soul
Just blowing, blowing cold.

Why Do We Try?

November 19, 2013

Rainy Waterfall ~ photo by Patrice

Why do we try?
Why do we cry?
Why do we die?

What else is there to learn
When we’ve learnt it all?

Silly oh so small is the mind
Maybe that wonders such things
Holding those thoughts
Not moving forward at all.

Why?
Wondering that’s all.

Hydro Out There Is No Doubt

Hydro out there is no doubt
Smash and crash
Is what the wind has been
Whining, howling across the span
Bending, breaking trees
Dashing dreams and all things
Seen, unseen.

Mutter, sputter does no good
Hydro out
As the onslaught marches
Destroying its way thru
Listen, listen to the howling wind
Crashing, smashing thru.

Nothing Is Never

November 16, 2013

Nothing is never
And will always be
Something that never
Feels responsibility.

That is what it is
All around and down
Is what it is.

Sadly, sadly
Nothing never is.
