I Wonder What

March 11, 2022

I wonder what
I will say
What I’ll see
In the morning
Unfolding
Just before me.

No breath is taken
Carelessly
Holding on
Moving forward
Knowing I have
Heaven and earth
Backing me.
~ Patrice

I Remember Memories

March 4, 2022

Patrice’s Art & Poetry Blog

I remember memories
Both sad and joyous

Memories

They come to me
When I don’t notice

Memories

My mind will be elsewhere
And suddenly they’re there

Memories

Real or imagined
Staring at me
Laughing hysterically

Memories

Nothing seems to matter
Cause I remember
Memories.
~ Patrice

Terrible Times Do Occur

February 25, 2022

Patrice’s Art & Poetry Blog

Terrible times do occur
Marching lines, men’s faces obscure
No more joy, lightly skipping breeze
Heartache, morse pretty bleak.

Then the sun shines oh so bright
Lighting the way both day and night
No more tears, sadness blame
All is well once again.
~ Patrice

Ever Wonder Why?

February 18, 2022

Patrice’s Art & Poetry Blog

Ever wonder why?
Ever think things happen
On a line
You can’t deny?

Ever wonder why
Answers come
But don’t seem to be
The ones asked
Or seen technically?

Ever wonder, wonder why?

As I Sit Here Facing Life

February 11, 2022

Patrice’s Art & Poetry Blog

As I sit here facing life
Must decide my mission
The way I choose
To ride the ups and downs
The about face
The turnarounds
No road is straight
No path without a winding curve
Negotiate
Living life on your own terms.
~ Patrice

Falling Softly, Laying Quiet

January 28, 2022

Patrice’s Art & Poetry Blog

Falling softly
Laying quiet upon the ground
No sound tells the story
No wind whispers words
That made snow
Come falling down.
~ Patrice

Confusion, Despair

January 21, 2022

Patrice’s Art & Poetry Blog

Confusion, despair
Don’t know
Which way to twist.

Fighting heartache
Fighting a vacuum
No air.

Survival is the call
Even if it may feel
Your back’s to the wall.

Stand true
Stand and know
There’s only one you.

You are the one
That’ll come thru
Brave, wonderful you.
~ Patrice

Reset My Life

January 14, 2022

Patrice’s Art & Poetry Blog

Reset my life in an instant
Like a roll of the dice
Never knowing where it’s going
Never understanding
Where I’ve just been
I’m here, moving
Going forward
With a smile and a grin.
~ Patrice
