Call Me

December 18, 2023
Call Me ~ Photo by Patrice

You call me, you call me loud
I hear it echoing
echoing thru the clouds. 

What is it you want? 

What has made you call? 

I’ll answer in a minute
I’ll answer all. 

But now I’m busy
Busy
Making 

My own call.

Thinking

December 11, 2023
Last used Dec. 11/23

I’m thinking, thinking
Things to do 
Things I’ve done
And
Those accomplished
By me 
For 
You. 

Some weren’t very big
Had no idea was to do
Then
There were others
Huge
On the scale of all things
Remembered 
Lasting into the next millennia
Next spring. 

I’m thinking, thinking 
I really don’t have to do
Anything
Cause things happen
I’m thinking
Things happen
No matter
What I think I should do.

Heaven Help Me

December 6, 2023
Heaven Help Me ~ Photo by us

Heaven help me
Be a kind, gentle human being
Let no one come to be
My arch rival, my enemy.

Let me see kindness 
Majesty
In every creature
Every human being. 

Let no one be sacrificed
Just because
They haven’t seen
The light. 

Let us all be one
Together
Loving, holding each other
Very tight. 

So that we sleep peaceful
Throughout
The quiet, troubled
Night.

Don’t Let Me Say

December 5, 2023
Don't Let Me Say ~ Photo by Patrice

Don’t let me say
The words I don’t want to hear
Please let me speak the words
That’ll guide me away
Far away from here.

Let me do
What needs to be done
Let it be something beautiful
And nothing
I would want undone.

That is all I ask
That is all I can do
Let me be happy
With these words, these things
I will, I can do.

Kaboom, Kaboom

Mountain Goats - Photo by Patrice

Quietly, softly the breath intakes
listening
to the heart
explodiate

Kaboom, Kaboom

The legs take their feet for a walk
while
the arms hold close the hands
caressing the softness
of love
seen by the eyes
as
the ears listen
to
the quiet heart
go

Kaboom, Kaboom.

Tender Is

February 1, 2023
Tender Is ~ Photo by Patrice

Tender is the life
I live.

Tender is the heart
That beats
Kindness to the world.

Tender is the soul
Who knows compassion
Gives.

Yes 
Tender is.

The Sun Shines Bright

River Beauty ~ Photo by Patrice

The sun shines bright
Mists have blended
Into the water beyond
No one sees bees
No bats fly
In the expanse that surrounds

Nor does anyone hear
The cry
They’re gone, they’re gone

I rest, I sleep
Maybe there I’ll see
And
Seek a world that once here
Belonged.

Heaven Helps

August 24, 2022
Heaven Helps ~ Photo by Patrice

Heaven helps
heaven waits to save 
comfort when you fall
when your heart sinks
and no one comes
even if you ask, you cry
you call.

Heaven stands strong
stands tall
reaching down, lifting up
saving you, giving
asking nothing back
nothing at all.

Hold Me Close, Hold Me Tight

Hold Me Close, Hold Me Tight ~ Photo by Patrice

Hold me close, hold me tight 
Let me be safe in your arms forever
And
Thru this dark, dark night. 

Let me see the love you give 
Feel your presence holding me 
Hear your words of wisdom 
Evermore 
Forever, into eternity.
