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.

Tremendous
the feeling of giving
giving love
support
and
everything
needed to make
life lived
in
peace and harmony.
Tremendous it is
to give, to give.

Patrice’s Art & Poetry Blog

I saw a chipmunk sleeping lazily
Enjoying the day
Quietly.

I saw a dog splashing
Playing in the water
All alone.

I saw a deer eat seeds
From my deck
Secretly.

I saw a tree fall
Smashing all.

I saw ants marching across sand
With a leaf in their mouth
They ran.

I saw a dog cry
Mourning the loss of one
Who’d died.

I saw a tree upside down
How could this be?

I saw a bumblebee sip nectar
Quietly.

I saw a fawn cry
Plaintively.

I saw a stingray fly
Majestically.

I saw a crocodile up close
So scary.

I saw life abound
But none, not a soul, no one
Saw me around.

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
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.
~ 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
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.

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!
