Patti Masterman Poems

Count the stars across your journey,
Count the stars you've yet to face;
Curling round the world, so tiny,
Countless stars have left their trace.
...

The heart foretells
The omens, of our sight:
Seasoned trouble hides
By clouds at night.
...

Where are we going, where does it end-
this life we are given few words to append;
Does time own our beings,
when life close the door?
...

A Nony Moose I be
A large caboose is me
I plod about the range, I poop
I eat up grass to spice the soup
...

Lay your grief
at the Roses feet;
Find peace in
the Baby's Breath,
...

Live ready to die,
be the benign force,
be the malignant force.
Be sweetly fierce
...

Can you hear the faintest music,
Can you sense it in the air,
And feel it round your being-
As if it's not quite there?
...

The body is a martyr
By and by, by and by.
No use to beg and barter
By and by, by and by.
...

You're the sun in moon,
The sky under rain,
Rainbow’d water,
In the storms quiet wane.
...

Choose your words like flowers
Found on a woodland walk;
Use pastels just for color
In the fields, of talk.
...
