There I Am

April 23, 2015

Rising Fiddle Head ~ Photo by Patrice

There I am in my robe
Watching closely as the earth disrobes
All it’s ugly, nasty things
Rising up in beauty
Filled with summer and with spring.
Winter’s cold, bitter hate
Melted here, no distaste
Only warm, fulfilling beams
Creating more lovely dreams.

Bless the ground I stand upon
Know it gives me faith true and strong
Trusting I’ll be here long after
Spring flowers fade and go
But memories of what has been
Or yet to come
Will hold my own sheltering robe so tight
That I know I will be safe
On earth’s soft ground tonight.

Suddenly, Suddenly

April 21, 2015

Suddenly my heart
Goes out coming in
To home and love.

Suddenly my mind
Understands life
Suddenly, suddenly.

Feeling Life From Before

April 16, 2015

My Shadow ~ Photo by Patrice

 

 

 

Feeling life from before
Standing here beside me
Saying things
Reliving times gone before.

Joyous reunion
Sad thoughts passing
Hugging life and lives
That lived before.

I know I am one
Who does not stand alone
Beside, in front and behind
Are those whose lives
Have lived before.

Wonder

Wonder is what I’ve got
As I reach, reach out and see
The beauty, the majesty of all living things
Knowing they are all part of me.

Been Sick

April 9, 2015

Been sick, hear me retch
Vacant vacuum been sick.

Time passes, sickness flows
Nausea sickens, this night is very old.

When I Felt Your Heart

April 2, 2015

Mom and Twiggy ~ Photo by Patrice

When I felt your heart next to mine
When I saw my life and yours intertwined
My soul was full and so sublime
When I was yours and you were mine.

April Fools’

April 1, 2015

Kitten in Thermos ~ Photo by Patrice

April Fools’ ~ Hah! Hah!
You tricked me
You made me think it was true
I believed you
April Fools’

Was I so innocent?
Was I so full of you?
April Fools’
April Fools’

You believed you were my world
And thought I loved you too
April Fools’
April Fools’ too.

House Of Cards

March 31, 2015

Old House Window ~ Photo by Patrice

House of cards
Comes crashing down
Never built on solid ground
No ace, jack nor king
Only a queen in mourning.

Someone Great To Me

March 27, 2015

My Mom photo by Patrice
Today I remember
Someone
Great to me.

Someone
Who gave me life
And is forever
Part of me.

Someone
Who took the time
And began the task
Of making me, me.

Someone
Wise and talented
Knowing when
To be still
And when to be.

Someone
Whose life
Was not often easy
But she accepted
The task
And made it be
What it must be.

That someone
Was my mother
Someone
Always great to me.

I miss you and remember
You’ll always be
Someone
Great to me.
