I’m Not Sure

March 18, 2022

Patrice's avatarPatrice’s Art & Poetry Blog

I’m not sure what I’ll write
Something about yesterday
Maybe something
That will occur tonight.

No rules in place
No sayings to follow
Just hear that soft voice speak
And my writing, my words
They follow.

For Heaven’s Sake

March 17, 2022
For Heaven's Sake ~ Illustration by Patrice for Dogs In Canada Magazine

For heaven’s sake
you are blessed
driven
to be your best.

For heaven’s sake
don’t listen
don’t wait to be
forgiven.

For heaven’s sake
know it’s not your fault
heaven knows
and
heaven has
forgiven.

Finding My Way

March 15, 2022
Finding My Way ~ Watercolour by Patrice

Searching 
finding my way 
not from
all that’s bad 
just from the bland
the
everyday. 

Focus on learning 
see the way 
to
something better 
something 
I just learned
today.

Hidden Beneath

Hidden beneath 
the sacrifice 

Deep
in the abyss of darkness 
deceit  

Sits
a radiance of hope 
glimmering 
breathing 

No words spoke 
but
listen 

Listen.

I Wonder What

I wonder what
I will say
What I’ll see
In the morning
Unfolding
Just before me.

No breath is taken
Carelessly
Holding on
Moving forward
Knowing I have
Heaven and earth
Backing me.

Holding Still, Breathing Quietly

February 16, 2022
Holding still, breathing quietly   ~ Photo by Patrice

Holding still, breathing quietly  

Deeply 

Seeing
life
as it should be 

Making
no changes 
that would hurt another being 

Hearing
magnificence
in
the beauty all around me

Pleased
that I’m here
that
I live now

Holding still, breathing quietly

As I Sit Here Facing Life

As I sit here facing life
Must decide my mission
The way I choose
To ride the ups and downs
The about face
The turnarounds
No road is straight
No path without a winding curve
Negotiate
Living life on your own terms.

Your heart be full of joy
Your words convey pleasure
Your eyes see pure beauty
Your ears believe.

Follow Your Heart

February 1, 2022
Follow Your Heart ~ Photo by Patrice

I haven’t seen nor do I know 
the answers to what you need 
you think I know. 

You must follow your heart 
feel it’s rhythm beating 
let it show you where to go 
the path to take 
believing. 

For its been the only thing 
that’s been there
since your existence
your beginning. 
~ Patrice
