Come see my lens at squidoo. It made it into the top 100! Woo hoo! I’m excited.
I’m working on being a giant. You must have 50 lenses to make the giant squids. I have 57 lenses so far.
The next giants are appointed Sept. 30th.
An Oak’s Breath
A wind this way does blow
A song this way does sing
A voice this way does speak
Of simpler things, not weak
A tongue upon my cheek
It is clarity I do seek
Of a tomorrow no longer bleak
Of you I do bequeathe
All that knows how to breathe
And life remains a soothing sound
My soul grows strong
An oak’s breath- a sweet scent
In a mountain I have lived
No more sorrow
I have found the gold
The search for which I did seek
Poetry For and From the Soul
A collection of poems reflecting the journey towards knowing thyself
By Patricia Sanders
Poetry For and From the Soul is an eclectic collection of poetry from author Patricia Sanders. In this work, the author touches upon themes such as love and loss, but also has elements of nature and the passage of time. In “Time Says,” the author draws a parallel between the passage of time and the end of a relationship.
Time says
Goodbye
Standing there
Fake stones
Avoiding the sun
My face
Shocked by
The coldness
Of the air
Stood silent
And fell
To pieces
Likewise in “Through the River,” natural elements are used to embrace the somber tone of her mood.
You
That I left
Behind
Suddenly
Drift along
A boat that sails
Through
The river
Of my mind
“Poetry For and From the Soul” is and intriquing collection of poetry that may appeal to a wide variety of readers.

From Casting Away Shadows
Casting Away Shadows
The light has come
To cast away the shadows
In time’s remaining hands
All that was left undone
Becomes a finished chore
Dancing into the light
Of remembrance
Of who I am
My sacredness
A key I have turned
Unlocking
My worthiness
With timid hands
That forgot
How to shine
The shadows barely there
Anymore
As they come
Into the light
To merge
Into wholeness
|
As Timeless As Creation Bring joy Bring love Bring laughter Bring light As timeless as creation |

Upon My Soul
On ground of sacred Earth
The ringing of bells
Can be heard
Calling us to remember
A truth veiled lightly
In a blanket of forgetfulness
I’ll find me there
Where angel’s songs
Upon my ears
Do greet the morning sun
And in the cracks
My worthiness
I left unkempt
In a long forgotten place
Sullen
The road more frequently traveled
When joy forgot her face
The child inside
A voice so long unheard
Safely tucked into the womb
Of love’s sweet arms
Woven of all that glitters
(another poem from my book)
His Beauty Undisturbed
His beauty undisturbed
A sad bird cries
And echoes silently
Into waking rest
Come hither to me
Light does beckon
His soul does spy
An eyelid lifts
His vision new
On dawn’s uplifting view
And here he whispers
Of divine
A wisdom
Quiet and unspoken
May I know
What from your tongue
Sits heavy
And does not fall
Your heart
Its beating
A song unheard
But ears
That listen
Have heard
The beauty
You hold
Undisturbed
(another poem from my book)
Blind Wolf
Sky of purple time
Filled of broken windows
Remain untouched
By the purity
Of a scented hand
That reaches
Outside of blue shores
Love-a blind wolf
Howls to a sacred moon
That longs
With tired birds
Of procrastination
Bringing passersby
Lonely hitchhikers
Timeless travelers
That fear not only
The coldness of winter’s thorns
But the openness of spring

(a poem from my book Jewels of Awe)
What gets in the way?
The loss of innocence
A tree
Our own hands
Bowl of Fruit
Your face
Turns dark
A shadow on the wall
Hides from view
I miss the sight
Of love
The scent of morning dew
Dust fills the room
Paintings hang
Upside down
Fruit sits quietly
In a bowl
Waiting…
To be eaten

Endless Beauty
Dream
Into being
Happiness
Of a garden
Planted with seeds
Of joy
Growing into
Full blooms
Of peaceful contentment
Blossoming
Into light
Filled of
Endless beauty
