Heaven Help

May 2, 2016

Bright Light ~ Photo by Patrice

Heaven help
The one that knows.

Heaven be there
When no one knows.

Heaven see
Love and beauty in the midst of anarchy.

Heaven please
Please help me.

Flowing Freely

April 28, 2016

Water Rushing ~ Photo by Patrice

Flowing freely on the flow
Floating softly across the sky
Walking slowly around the bend
The funny thing is no one
Knows where I’ve been.

My Hearts A Mess

April 27, 2016

Running First ~ Photo by Patrice

My hearts a mess
There is no rest
No peace, no quiet.

Racing, racing on
Racing fast
How will I ever last?

When can I see
Peace
Quiet and dignity?

When will I feel
My heart pump
A slow, soft, quiet thump?

Can’t hold on
Can’t see
How I got here, how to leave.

All I see is
My hearts a mess
There is no rest, that’s all, all I see.

The Rest

April 21, 2016

Perfect Little House ~ Photo by Patrice

All the rest
It rests in tattered dust
No one picks it up
No one denys or condemns
Just lets it lie in dust
Almost covered up
Nearly gone from sight.

Did it exist?
Did it live and laugh?

Let it rest, let it rest
It’s work is done.

Beautiful Sun

April 19, 2016

Chipmunk sunning himself ~ Photo by Patrice

Beautiful sun glows light
Filling sky, filling changing night
Beautiful sun does
What nothing else can do
Bringing life
Conceived in the dark of night
Light rises in the sky
As beautiful sun, morning light.

Sadness

April 18, 2016

Ice Storm Aftermath ~ Photo by Patrice

Sadness is
A part of life along with heartache, chaos
Unnecessary strife
No amount of humour will make them go away
They stay
Belonging to those that breathe sadness in their day.

Sadness though
Can too, live in a heart full of love
Along with kindness, gentle touch
And
Unconditional love.

Green is green is showing thru
Leaves are leaving snow white melting too
Buds budding bringing life
Spring has sprung there is new life.

Destined To Travel

April 11, 2016

Road Travelled ~ Photo by Patrice

Destined to travel a winding road
Occasionally rough, sometimes cold.

Staying to the path can be hard
Any presence must be bold.

Looking at that what lives on my path
My feet move to the left, then to the right.

Forward, backward, all is and seems right
As my destiny travels the road to the light.

Sadness Is Something

April 7, 2016

Blue Violets ~ Photo by Patrice

Sadness is something
Sometimes, I want to be immersed in
Crying, silently
No joy to share
Not a drop, empty, hollow
I just can’t stop the affair.

Sadness does live with me
I allow her in
She stays with me
I don’t love her much
But still she’s been a comfort
Living here, amid my lonely thoughts.

Sadness, she pulls me in
Holding, engulfing  me
In a place that’s sad
So lonely
Crying, lying deep within
Becoming such a tragic sin.

Searching For Something New

April 6, 2016

Karen's Love ~ Watercolour Commission by Patrice

Searching for something new
Searching amongst
The breathe of that
That I once knew.

Grasping, holding close
Memories I loved
See them fall away
Replacing now all that yesterday.

Searching for
New memories untold
Searching for a new life
A new mould.

Searching, searching
But no one knows
Nor will they let it be
As of yet, let it be told.
