There In My Heart

March 4, 2016

Patrice's avatarPatrice’s Art & Poetry Blog

There in my heart
The world comes alive
Feeling the love, strength
Of those I abide.

Dwell deep within
Then rocketing back out
I be the one my heart
Needs me to be about.

When I Think About It

March 2, 2016

Jackal ~ Illustration by Patrice for Holt, Rinehart and Winston's reader, 'Flights Near And Far'

When I think about it
I can’t stay
In the realm of
Yesterday.

Move away, move away
From the thoughts, the times
Lived yesterday
Yesterday.

I Feel The Coldness In My Heart

February 19, 2016

Patrice's avatarPatrice’s Art & Poetry Blog

I feel the coldness in my heart
I feel it envelope me
Turning all to frozen frost
No emotion, no anger, shame or fear
No happiness, laughter or anything sincere
This coldness is all I feel
Here in my frozen sphere.

Let love break the way
Melt sadness, anger all away
Rushing forth with laughter
Keeping coldness far at bay
Drip love down deep within my soul
Making warm caring thoughts
Embrace me entirely all today
Keeping coldness far, far away.

I Know

Love and Tenderness ~ Watercolour Art by Patrice

I know the answered answer

I know why

I know how the question answered

I just don’t know

The answers why.

It Isn’t

February 17, 2016

It isn’t what they say
It isn’t what they do.

It’s how I feel it
Thru and thru.

May The Rain Flow Onward

February 5, 2016

Patrice's avatarPatrice’s Art & Poetry Blog

May the rain flow
Onward onward
Into the river of life.
Onward, onward
To a place of no strife
Peaceful beauty
Take me in
Run over me
Cleanse my sin
Bask in the sunshine
Sleep with no fear
Beautiful rain
Flow
Onward from here.

I Am The One

February 2, 2016

Face Study ~ Illustration by Patrice

I am the one
That’s best to live
This life I’ve lived
Since life did start
To tick
Within my chest
My heart.

Why Are We Here?

January 8, 2016

Patrice's avatarPatrice’s Art & Poetry Blog

Why are we here? Where did we come from? Where will we go?
Have we been here before?
All questions that have been asked for a extremely long time.

Does my dog, my cat or horse ask the same questions? Does the deer wandering thru the woods think of these things? Does the robin sitting on her nest of eggs?

I wonder…
