Winter Winds Blow

Like winter winds that blow 
Our lives can be tossed
To and fro. 

So grasp with vigour and hold on so tight 
To live thru your winter and bask once again 
In
A summer’s delight.

Feel The Anger

Feel the anger 
The pressure baring down 
Grasp the lighter, redeeming saviour 
Hold him close
Move to higher ground. 

Let no one’s hatred, anger find you 
For you have a buffer, 
A wall of love all around 
You are safe
No more pressure baring down.

Long Shadows Crease The Grass

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Long shadows crease the grass
Modifying bark on a watching tree
As sunlight fights
With the night all day long
Winning only in the morning bright.

Sleep at night
Feel the shadows
Creeping across the grass
Rising up
Holding darkness in it’s grasp.

Your heart is safe
Shadows will see to that.

Dark And Foreboding

Dark and foreboding
The light does not shine
Muddy tracks are erased
In the water running past.

Grasp the heartbeat make it last
Not lost in the dismal, tragic past
For we are here and must trust
It will, forever last.

Sprinkle Down The Precipitous

 

 

 

 

 

Sprinkle down the precipitous
Falling down the cliff
Catch a hold of the abyss
See what falling stories hold.
Mighty energetic
Free fall form to keep
Grasp a hold of solid ground
See what does unfold
Here in the deep.
~ Patrice
