You, Me

July 9, 2024
You, Me ~ Photo by Patrice

No more can I see

You, Me 

Gone with the past
Used to be

You, Me 

When in the future
will I love?  

You, Me 

Be immersed
in
lovely love? 

You, Me 

No more to happen
No more to be

You, Me.

Natural, Age Old Beauty

July 8, 2024
Last used July 8/24

Does anyone
tell of 
does anyone see
the beauty 
the complexity
of
the world around us? 

A world full
of
natural things
like birds, flowers
and
bees. 

Never let me
be blind
to what could happen
to all this 
all this
natural, age old
beauty. 

Let me help protect it
keep it as it
has always been
as it
should always be. 

And
Let me not forget 
that
I too am part of this 
all this
Heaven on earth 

This
natural 
age old beauty.

No One Sees

No one helps
no one sees the world
exactly
like me. 

Sometimes I’m great
sometimes I’m very sad
and
sometimes
sometimes I know
just what’s needed
not
to go mad.

Just Like Me

June 24, 2024

No one writes 
No one sees the world
Exactly
Just like me.

Changes come 
Things disappear
They go
As
I sit here

Wondering
What makes me tick
Why
My life ebbs and flows

All the things
Only
I can know.

I Don’t Like

June 18, 2024

I don’t like
the one I’ve become
I want to be
that
other one 

The one that laughs
sees the light
holds close
evening’s delight 

Let me be, let me see
that person
I was
I wish once more
to be.

I Must Accept

June 13, 2024
I Must Accept ~ Watercolour by Patrice

This is when
I must
Accept those
Giving
Unconditional love 

And
Anyone
That only means harm
Let them go away 

To find
How
They can change
Their hurt
Into loving others 

Each
And
Every day.

I Hear The Engine Roar

June 10, 2024
I Hear The Engine Roar ~ Illustration by Patrice for B.C. Central Credit Union

I hear
the engine roar
the smoke billow
and
fly high
up into the air
high
up to the sky

I see people laughing
cordially
taking steps to be
in the midst
of
everything 

I feel excitement
racing
round the curves
down
the track
in
anticipation
of
who’s to win 

The first
to cross the finish line
the one I know
all
will celebrate and cheer 

The one
who’s
the winner. 

That’s what I do hear.

All Alone

June 5, 2024
Last used June 5/24

Lonely can I be
Wondering
Where everyone could have gone
Leaving me  

All alone 

Lonely can be
Heartbreak 
Broken heart sobbing
Into silence 

All alone 

Waiting
For a saviour to bring love
Togetherness 
To sip the sweet nectar
Of belonging
Not
Not 

All alone.

Can I?

June 3, 2024
Can I? ~ Photo by Patrice

Can I be
Someone who
Loves
Takes care of all things
Dear to me? 

Can I? 

Can I be
This kind person
I want to be?

Or

Will the whole thing
Escape, bypass this
Wondering Can I person
That’s me?

More ~ Photo by Patrice

When I hear
Your heart beat
I want more

More time to love you
More laughs
And
So much more 

Don’t go away
Don’t be gone
Forever

Stay with me
Stay
Here forever
Forever more.
