I

Self Portrait ~ Illustration by Patrice

I can’t be scorned, belittled or debased
I am alive, I have survived
And
I know, know what I need to do.

Henry ~ Pen and Ink Art by Patrice

Sometimes a memory
Sadden, falls down my face
Coming straight from heaven
It holds a special time and place
In my heart forever
Starting there, glistening
Upon my face.

It

Not having
It
Not seeing
It
Not feeling
It
Not sure what
It is.

But I’m hoping for
Pleading for
Trying to accomplish
It.

Home Is Heart

Thor on the Trail ~ Photo by Patrice

Home is heart, heart is home

Speak softly

Let no one feel alone

Be together
Whether near or far apart

Act according
To the followings of your heart.

I Heard Your Heart Beat

March 21, 2019

Shepherd and Bouvier playing ~ Illustration by Patrice

I heard your heart beat
I saw your breath breathe
My fingers touched your lips
My hands caressed your feet.

As my soul touched yours
I knew, knew there was
No where else in this world
I need be or rather go.

You heard me speak
You heard me say
Words that you took away
Making us forever friends
Even til today.

I heard you speak
I heard you say
These words I write
I write today.

Starting Points in Math ~ Illustration by Patrice for publisher, Ginn & Company

Keeping everything in store
Keeping all things close to me
Feeling insecure
Feeling
Feeling a little needy.

House of cards
Comes crashing down
Never built on solid ground
No ace, jack nor king
Only a queen in mourning.

Haven’t Learned My Lesson

March 7, 2019

Aruba contemplating ~ Photo by Patrice

Haven’t learned my lesson
Haven’t done my job
Sacrifices taken
But
Still can’t understand
The reason
Nor
The writings
In the Almighty’s Log.

Nothing Really Happens Til

February 27, 2019

Rising Fiddle Head ~ Photo by Patrice

Nothing really happens
Til something moves
Takes control.

Nothing really happens
In the morning bright
Til eyes open
Letting in streaming sunlight.

Nothing really happens
Til words are spoken
From a mouth open
Speaking things we need to know.

Nothing really happens
Til feet move
Heeding the mind’s signals
And control.

Nothing really happens
Til we let Mother Nature
Let nature have the reins
And we let go.
~ Patrice
