A Hummingbird Came

May 11, 2022

A hummingbird came to my window 
today 
not seen since 
in the fall 
when they all 
flew away. 

Sweet nectar she’s looking for 
needs right away 
hovering, looking in 
she tells me. 

Get it ready! 
Get it ready! 
Get it ready right away! 

The little hummingbird 
is 
hungry 
she’s flown such a distance 
from far 
far away. 

Now needs 
some sweet substance 
til 
all the blooms 
are 
on display. 

A hummingbird came to my window 
and 
told me all this 
just this morning 
just today.

World Wildlife Fund’s

Run to Restore Nature

I’m participating in WWF’s Run to Restore Nature, and today is the first day!
I’m running 2.5 kms each day for the next 4 days, to raise funds to help create a world where nature and people thrive and live in harmony.
I’d really love your support to help me reach my fundraising goal of $75.00.
Every dollar raised helps to conserve species at risk, protect threatened habitats, and address climate change.

They ran.

Saw me around.

When I Look Out To Sea

May 5, 2022
When I Look Out To Sea ~ Photo by Patrice

When I look out to sea 
I see you looking
looking back over
just at me 

The waves roll in
and
back out again 
bringing with them 
a message from overseas 
a message
you sent just for me 

In my thoughts I touch your lips 
say words of love 
then send them
on the wind 
over water, overseas 
to you with love 
just from me.

Lifting Up My Head

Lifting Up My Head ~ Photo by Patrice

Lifting up my head
my arms, my heart 
seeing all that could be 
seeing nothing 
that is 
empty, lost. 

Maybe tomorrow 
in the early morning light 
all the answers I seek 
will be before me 
holding me
with unprecedented love
oh so very tight.

Hear The Heart Beat

Hear The Heart Beat ~ Illustration by Patrice

Hear the heart
beat quietly 
the sound
goes thru each day 
to eternity 

My heart,
the heart continuously
breathing
life in the body 
sight to the soul 
beauty
for all to see 

Forever beating 
beating
beating quietly.

Thinking And Planning

Thinking And Planning ~ Photo by Patrice

Thinking and planning 
figuring out 
what
I’ll do today 

The future’s open 
ready 
waiting
for my decision 

Exciting
these feelings  
I’m letting be real 

First
in my mind 
then
in my life 

And
finally

My heart.

Make no mistake
The heart is needed
To cover all the hurts
That
The silly head
May make.

The Sky Is Bright

April 28, 2022
The Sky Is Bright ~ Photo by Patrice

The sky is bright 
No clouds
In sight 
The way is open 
Light shows no notion of darkening
This glorious day 

I’ll move forward 
Positive 
Sure my path
Will be straightforward 
All obstacles
Moved 
Out of my way 

On, such a lovely day!
