Hear The Silence

July 18, 2019

Crossing at Nanticoke Creek ~ Photo by Patrice

Hear the silence
Feel the quiet expanse
Fill it with all of you
All of yourself.

Peaceful existence
Beauty in living a loving life
You can do it
But not all alone
Not all by yourself.

I Have Seen

I have seen you are with me
You have been my sole companion
On this trip, this journey.

Never alone, my heart, my soul
Feel your gentle breath
Breathing.

At peace, I am feeling
Your hand in mine leading
Keeping.

So Long Ago

July 16, 2019

2 Friends ~ Watercolour by Patrice

So long ago
I wrote my lines of love for you
So long ago
I lived my life for you
So long ago
I found I didn’t know you
So long ago
I left, left before you left me too
So long ago, so long ago
I loved you.

Pull It All Together

Happy Convict ~ illustration by Patrice

Pull It all together
Make it your own
Smile in the face of danger
Never leave a lost soul
All alone.

Amazing

July 3, 2019

This Lady

Amazing

How the earth does turn
How it all seems so serene and firm

Amazing

That we don’t fall off
How we can fly high, high in the sky

Amazing

That the oceans deep give us food
Give us nourishing water sweet

Amazing.

I Hear The Howl Of A Lonesome Wind

July 2, 2019

Thunder Clouds ~ Photo by Patrice

I hear the howl
Of a lonesome wind
Winding thru the trees
Branches, limbs.

Leaving all to chance
She sweeps across the land
Blowing with her
Good fortune, losses
But nothing that holds on
That can withstand.

Her mind is elsewhere
A place she came from
Wandering
Whistling she searches
For that time long ago
When she was so young.

Deep In The Rest

Deep in the rest of sleep tonight
My soul does dream so vividly
Life is full, time is dear
Honoured by those held so near.

I awaken rested, never knowing
Time has passed
Troubles solved and circumstance
Seems not to be the threat I feared
So horribly.

No one drew or threw a veil
Upon my sight
Just goodness does
And will prevail.

I slumber now in perfect rest
No concern, no distress
Awakening to light cascading down
Upon my life where goodness
Does and will abound.

The Heart Does Pound

June 27, 2019

Steffi and Bart ~ Photo by Patrice

The heart does pound
Breath does breathe
Sun rises and the moon
Seeks to shine light
On a darken place.

No one lives all alone
Everyone has a life
Everyone lives
Within their own space.

Most Of All

June 26, 2019

Zeke Painting ~ Watercolour by Patrice

Most of all I want to say
The day will unfold in a way
That won’t be yours or mine
But belong in the scheme
Of all time.

A Wall Of Many Trees Stand

June 25, 2019

Mighty Trees Stand ~ Photo by Patrice

A wall of many trees stand
Stand in front of me
There may be a way
Around
Squeezing thru, in-between.

Many trees stand
Protecting me
From what dwells beyond
Unforeseen.

Canopy overtop, shading
Letting only a few rays
Of burning sun thru
To drop.

Taking the impact
Of a lightning strike
Hear the thunder crash
As a mighty tree falls
Out of sight.

Little ones will take its place
Loved
Nurtured by large ones
Standing, guarding, protecting
In this place.

As full circle round
Does nature go
Where many trees stand
Like a wall
All in a row.
