Thunder clouds fill the sky 
I ask myself 
The reason 
The reason why.

Delicately
I embrace thee

Softly
I caress thee

While with my whole heart

I unconditionally
Love thee.

I Know You’re There

I Know You're There ~ Photo by Patrice

I know you’re there 
I’ve felt your sweet breath 
upon my face, my hair 
your soft voice sweetly calls 
from somewhere, somewhere
but I don’t know where 
your steps direct my feet 
they lead me in a way so discreet 
I can’t falter nor wander 
you guide me, guide me there 
I feel no despair 
you are with me where’er I go 
I know, I know you’re there.

Hold Me Close

May 19, 2021
Hold Me Close ~ Watercolour Painting by Patrice

Hold me close, hold me tight 
Let me feel secure 
Throughout the darkest night. 

Let my tears disappear 
Feel safe in a land
Vacant of fury, anger  
And awful, awful fear. 

Hold me close, hold me tight

Total Effects

Total Effects ~ Photo by Patrice

Total, total effects 
Seeing them, feeling their cause 
Aand
Certainly their effect 

Blessed they say 
Cursed say others 

Somewhere
There is the answer 
The total effect of what has been.

I Look Out

I Look Out ~ Photo by Patrice

I look out on the earth 
and see
things going on their way. 

Birds sing, flowers bloom 
bees fly
pollinating all they can 
they try. 

How can I not see beauty 
beauty
there in front of me? 

Thank the Lord 
for you see, he has done this 
all this magnificence 
all this beauty.

Deep Freeze ~ Photo by Patrice

Cold and freezing rain
Falls from the sky
Falls
Taking no blame.

Only pours it’s heart out
Letting drops fall
Again and again
In cold, freezing rain.

The Sun Shines Thru

May 12, 2021
Last used May 12/21

The sun shines thru  
it’s beams radiating 
goodness, love 
all things beautiful. 

Warming the earth 
filling the sky 
with creatures lovely 
able to fly. 

The soil is warmed 
growing things 
feeding all 
feeding everything. 

We are lucky beings 
we’ve been given 
life
from the sun’s radiating streams.

A Big Milestone

A Big Milestone - Photo by Patrice

A big milestone
looms in my way 
not one to saunter to 
not one to bypass or ignore
not today. 

Strength and courage 
are mustered to surpass 
the obstacles seen today 
to that tremendous milestone 
on my path, on my way.

It’s the meaning that is hard.
