The Moment

November 29, 2016

Costa Rican Raccoon Photo by Brent

Enjoying the moment
Enjoying the scene
All its well
And in some instances
Serene.

Blessed be this moment
This moment I’m in
Only me in this moment
And never to occur
Again.

Where will it end? Where did it begin?

Answer not there
Nor has it been
Obvious to us watching
Listening in.

Study of hands and paint brushes ~ Illustration by Patrice for New Chalice Brushes

Knowing who I am is hard to acknowledge
When the world tries its damnedest
To change what I am.

Human Kind

October 28, 2016

Patrice's avatarPatrice’s Art & Poetry Blog

A child watches helplessly
As a hunter shoots her pet crow.
What part of that is Human Kind?

A teen is beaten about the head
Until she falls to the ground.
Kicked until she stands.
It then starts over again.
What part of that is Human Kind?

A young woman pleads
For her dog’s life
A rifle is pointed at her head
And she is told
‘Stop crying or I’ll shoot you too”.
What part of that is Human Kind?

Human Kind
Is when a police officer
Could have given a ticket
Towed the truck.
But instead
Leads you out of the dark
From lost back onto the right road.
That is Human Kind.

Human Kind
Is when four young men stop
To give a ride and support
To two young girls
One sobbing, stranded
Somewhere in the mountains
After being kicked out for refusing.
That is Human Kind.

Sadness Comes And Goes

October 14, 2016

Patrice's avatarPatrice’s Art & Poetry Blog

Sadness comes
and goes
Strive to feel
The pain
Then let it go.

No use to dwell
And ponder
Just see it
And let it go.

It makes you
No less
It makes you
No more.

It just makes you
The one to love
For evermore.

Heaven Helps

Quiet Pond - Photo by Patrice

Heaven helps those that need
No asking, just need
If you look, if you care
Those you need will be there.

Heaven helps, heaven cares
Feel it round, feel it near
Know it’s always
Always here..
