Gone Forever

March 7, 2013

Gone forever

It was beautiful
In the thought.

I should have
Wrote it down.

But
I just somehow

Forgot.

Time Passes By and Bye

Time passes
By and bye
Time is ticking
Where’er you go.

No hesitating
No back track
Time passes
We are sure of that.

See the seconds
Minutes pass
As we lay here
Keeping track.

Time has come
From the past
Ticking by
Ticking fast.

We Are Slowly Rising Up

March 5, 2013

Taking back what belongs to us
No reproach
Just get it done
Everlasting gratitude has begun.

Not Sure Where I Stand

March 4, 2013

Grass in Winter ~ photo by Patrice

Not sure where I stand
Not sure where I’ll be
Deep, sad remorse
Consumes
And engulfs me.

Sadness reeks of sickness
Monsters creep
And crawl around
Head full of anguish
Somehow
I must hold my ground.

Back laden
With burdens pulling
Pulling good hearts
Down.

Grip the soft shoulder
Of kindness
Let her lift me up
Munster courage
That surrounds us
It will back me up.

Give Me Strength, Power And Might

March 1, 2013

Give me strength
Power and might
To do what
in my heart
I know is right.

No sacrifice
Is too great
When in the end
I’ve done the things
I know are right.

Pain and anguish
May be mine
But if my heart
Turns sad to love
Then it’s right.

So please
Give me strength
Power and might
To do that which
In my heart
I know is right.

Snow Is Falling Softly Down

February 27, 2013

Blue Jay in Winter ~ photo by Patrice

 

Snow
is
falling
softly
down.

Floating
over
cold
barren
ground.

Covering
messes
muddy
brown.

Snow
is
falling.

Softly
coming
down.

Why Am I Here?

February 26, 2013

Chairs in Arbua ~ photo by Patrice

Why am I here?
Questions
Questions are all I hear
Why?

Delve deep inside
Your soul modest, gentle
And even maybe
A little slow.

There in peace
You survive
Enveloped in strength
And a moral code
You can’t deny.

Stand strong
Breach the crest
Ride the tide
No one need question why
You alone are the one
To bring you
To the centred one.

Questions?
Many and a few
But for you
All you need to know
The answers live deep inside
Your magnificent soul.

That’s all
All you need to know.

Did You See The Night?

February 25, 2013

Lucy ~ Watercolour by Patrice

Did you see the night?
Did you see it as it crept
Atop of daylight
Covering each day
With darkness of the night?

Did you see the night?
Morose and sad
Bleeding sympathy to the mad
Whispering night floating through
Corridors filled with sounds
Made to scare, do beware.

Did you see the night?
As it gently held lost souls
Til daylight could unfold
Washing ‘way cold misery
Never to be told.

Yes, I have seen the night
Soft and full of promise
Stars twinkling
In bright nightlight
I did, I did see the night.

The Flow Of Life

The flow of life
Takes courses
Never imagined.

Some
Never chartered.
