Today
Is a day unlike any other day
Filled with life
Filled with strife
And too, things nice.

Must make it my day
Do it my way
And at the end, at the night
I’ll look, see what a wondrous day
Was given to me.

Then I can peacefully sleep
In anticipation of what
The day
The next day
Will bring to me.

What Is?

August 15, 2019

Chickens and Eggs ~ Illustration by Patrice for the Educational Publisher, Ginn and Company

What is the cause? What is the effect?
What does it mean?

For hearts are broken, cities crumble
Crops decay
Lives destroyed.

And
In the midst of this

A sprout pops up, a giggle resonates
Thunder dissipates
Rain clears all filth away.

There is a God
There is a life
We will not disappear.

No One Is Listening

No one is listening
To what I say.

Let it go, let it be.
Resting in the knowledge
I am here, I am all
I have to be.

Let it show strength isn’t all that wins
Wins the fight.

Mighty

Diva and Lise ~ Watercolour & Pencil Art by Patrice

Hold the tender
In your hands
Bask in sunlight
Lighting all the land.

Never believe
Your life’s not worthy
For you are mighty
You are mighty grand.

Pull It all together
Make it your own
Smile in the face of danger
Never leave a lost soul
All alone.

The Heart Does Pound

June 27, 2019

Steffi and Bart ~ Photo by Patrice

The heart does pound
Breath does breathe
Sun rises and the moon
Seeks to shine light
On a darken place.

No one lives all alone
Everyone has a life
Everyone lives
Within their own space.

Most Of All

June 26, 2019

Zeke Painting ~ Watercolour by Patrice

Most of all I want to say
The day will unfold in a way
That won’t be yours or mine
But belong in the scheme
Of all time.

Strive For Happiness

June 21, 2019

Strive for happiness
Creating love
Narrow the corridor
That harbours anger
Let it sink deep into murky mud.

Never saw it coming
Never heard the cry
Maybe in the beginning
I didn’t understand
The reason why.

Now that is over and it seems
The clouds have begun to dry
I’ll take my happiness
And make love
The reason why.
