The Flickering

Bickering light

digits numb

feeling to come

Run

The ticking

the sniffing

the mew

the few

the tocking

the stopping

Let it be

Free

the yearning

the churning

lost

in time

Never

mine…

Life is hard

harden up

Life is showing

show up

Life is work

do it

Life kicks your ass

sometimes

kick back

Get up

Carry on

Grow

WISDOM

When it hurts

cry

When it stings

sooth

Scream

at the clouds

then back

on the horse

and ride…

Choices

are all

we have

See another

sunrise

it’s a do-over

DO IT!

Whatever

your it is.

Best advice

EVER-

Thanks Ma,

“Do all things from a place of love and you will be alright.”

 

Honored to serve

Served with Honor

To all those before

To those who gave All,

I Salute You..

Injustices here

injustices there

who cares?

Draconian

lists

their fix

Common sense

beware

you are not

welcomed there

Publically

embarrass

ridicule

you sneer

you smear

and think

its cool,

its cruel.

Call it a tool

Are we fools?

Strength does not berate

Leadership does not hate

Kindness is never late.

 

You always cared

You always shared

You worked so hard

You were never far

You held my hand

You held my head

You’ll always hold my heart.

Your playful soul

brought

laughter

love

joy

to all who knew you

You gave me life

You made me, me

You gave it all…

Mother

The sun peeks

the clouds sneak

We reach

We teach

They fly

no why’s

sweet sounds

mingle

tingle

morning birds

know why…

Cadence of sound

surrounds

light breezes

caressing

sweet morning

with joe

and the journal

a good pen

hovers and molds

waits to be told

stories unfold

words

flow

or drip,

its always

a trip…

Chances come

chances go

choices come

choices go

people come

people go

love comes

love goes

things come

things go

joy comes

joy goes

pain comes

pain goes (hopefully)

happy comes

happy goes

anger comes

anger goes

life comes

life goes…

Decisions made

Hope swims

possibilities awaken

chances…

Ideas floating

Ocean of stars

Who we are

knowing

believing

beginning

changing…

Limitless

Relentless

walking

the path

creating

the life

dreamed of

Now.

Always known

Lifetime of friendship

Love

Sweetness

Rarely a cross word

Never far from my heart-

My sister of the soul

We are growing old

With style

With grace

Saving face

Still best friends

Cousin…

A relationship

Like no other

I treasure us!

You were the best part of

my childhood…

Always there

Always care

Sister, my dear

I will always

Be near

In spirit.

We have traveled

This journey together

For our entire lives-

So it will be

Until the end

My precious

Sister of my Soul-

Patricia.
