You Don’t Know What I Know

May 6, 2014

Giraffe ~ Stipple art by Patrice

You don’t know what I know

You don’t feel what I feel

You don’t see what I see

You can’t hear what I hear

Because

You are not and never will be me.

Beat Myself Up

Beat myself up
Curse the way
That got me here.

Need to let up
Need to be happy
That I’m living, existing
With breath to breathe
In this atmosphere.

Forget the bad, the negative
And the sad
Seeing only pleased
And grateful inside of me.

Forgive me and thee
Forgive and live
Live here
On the right side of happy.

Bright The Day

May 1, 2014

Ancient Mexico ~ Photo by PatriceBright the day that brings me light
Illuminates my path, my rights.

Stepping into brightened day
Basking in the guiding sun
Warmth of those
Whose love holds me steady
On my path, my lightened way.

No darken soul
Frightened, weakened by remorse
Feelings, wrongs done no more
My path is lit, my light is bright
Onward, upward with my guiding light.

Painful Aspects

April 29, 2014

Willow ~ Watercolour Painting by Patrice

Painful aspects
Will not be something
I think of when
I relive my history, my art.

Onward, forward
Must be the march
No hesitation
No “What if my heart?”

Will be positive and pleased with all
Remembering the world
Gives you what you dare to dream
Dare to start.

Bright In The Night

April 28, 2014

Filtered Sunlight ~ photo by PatriceBright in the night
The sky illuminates my life
Clouded troubles just float by
No remorse, no cry.

Ground coming up
More so to stop
The heart of my soul
From giving up.

Not and never alone
Standing on earth
In a mist
Of heaven held love.

Carlos ~ Watercolour painting by PatriceBe the artist that you are
See your way each and everyday
Be that one, the one you see
And want to be.

The artist that you are
The one you need be.

Cherish The One

April 24, 2014

Cherish the one who gives you joy
Cuddle the one who sinks beneath a burdened load
Find the one whose lost the road
Be yourself where’re you go.

We Can Succeed

April 23, 2014

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

We can succeed in this life we need
Accessing those things we hold so dear.

We can succeed whether the sky is fair
Or filled with heartache, anger and despair.

We can see our way in this life we need
For we believe we can and will succeed.
~ Patrice
