One Day
The trees were bare
The next
Leaves were there
Cascading
Waving in the breeze
Hiding treasured nests
Deep within silent
Green leaves
Soaking up the sun
Drinking in the rain
Leaves
breathe life
Into a mighty tree again.

Morning comes
Then it goes
No one knows where
Where it unfolds.
Melting into day
Hiding thru the night
Breaking once again
In the glorious morning light

Unforgiving is the night
Waxing in pale moonlight
No remorse echoes
Thru this night
Only lonely wails of moonlight.
Sun will come and shine
Making night a distant time
But til then we’ll exist
We will survive
Darkness hiding in night’s cold, ebbing tide.

Please forgive
Those that be hiding
In my memory.
Waiting to jump out
Scare, startle me
Please forgive them
And me. ~ Patrice

Birds singing in a far tree
Silent sun’s rays breaking thru hovering
Bee doesn’t know you or me.
Tree leans to the sun as squirrels
Scurry, gathering keys
Unlocking nothing for chipmunks scold
Cussing unknown foe hiding
Waiting for them to go.
Spring day starts lasting
Into summer sun
Join the crowd travel
With them til evening comes.

Splish, splash
Running fast
Down the water
Running
Chasing those that swim
So fast.
Ducking
Diving
Hiding
Escaping jaws chasing
There in water running fast.
No chance of catching
They are evading.
Then something changes
One is separated
Forced up
On slick wet grass.
Holy cow!
Catch a fish so big
Is what I did.
But the question is
What do I do with it now?
