No More

May 29, 2024
No More ~ Photo by Patrice

No more can I say
Love
Will triumph today
No more 

No more will I do
The things that make
You love me too
No more 

No more can I be
The one
You want me to be
No more 

No more  will I stand 
Close by loving thee
No more 
No more.

In The Distant Past

In The Distant Past ~ Photo by Patrice

I have lived before 
I have lived a life 

In the distant past 

Good or bad I had 
A life before memories 
Faded 

In the distant past 

They didn’t last 
As new ones evolved 
Different but built on 
That life lived 

In the distant past.

You Walked

May 16, 2024

You walked a mile
You walked to town to buy groceries
You walked for fun
And
I think to clear your head
Of
Things not necessary. 

Your quiet way, your giggle
Your wave
As you walked
In the middle of the road
I miss these
I miss
Everything
About you already
But
Most of all
I miss you. 

There’s a chair for you
To rest on
As you walk
This last walk, this journey
You’re now taking. 

Please, when you get there
Let us know
You made it safely 
That
You’re resting nicely
You’re laughing
With your old friends
You made it there. 

Walk carefully, walk gently
Sweet Patsy
We miss you 
But
We know you now walk 
Freely 
With not a care. 
~ Patrice  

Rest in Peace Patsy ❤️💞❤️

Tomorrow Comes

Tomorrow comes
Then
It ends 

Taking place in today
Passing
Through to the past 

Ending in history  
To be
Retold once again.

The Thunder Roar

The Thunder Roar ~ Photo by Patrice

Quietly, silently
I hear
The thunder roar

Sending a message
Down
The valley’s corridor.

Will there be an answer
Will the Earth
Reply 
Succumb, or implore?

Not mine to know
But
Just to hear
The thunder roar.

Remember When

May 3, 2024

Remember When ~ Illustration by Patrice

Remember when a laugh and smile 
Were the only thing that made 
The day’s itinerary song? 

Remember when laughter 
And carefree days lasted 
All year long 
The thought of winter didn’t 
Come to mind 
Didn’t come along. 

Then there was when 
A door opened up 
And seriousness came along. 

No smiles, no laughter 
The whole day long 
Winter winds blew 
And the heart was frozen 
In sadness 
Crying was the only song.

Heaven Can Take Me Only

May 2, 2024
Heaven Can Take Me Only ~ Photo by Patrice

Heaven can take me only
Where I want to go
No detours, nowhere else
Should I go.

My journey may
Coincide
With you and others
Together we will travel
Side-by-side.

Into the future
Being what
We alone decide.

The World Sing

April 29, 2024
The World Sing ~ Photo by Patrice

One can hear
The world sing
A song
So quiet, so lilting.

A smile comes
Across my face
As I hear
The world sing.

No more anger
Not one bit of hate
Only love flows
Freely

Dissipates
The wrong, the sadness

That’s what I feel
As I hear
Hear 
The world sing.

Holy Helps Me

Holy Helps Me ~ Photo by Patrice

Holy helps me
Believe the world is round
Green belongs
On summer leaves.

Everything else
Will come in it’s time
Passing through 
Biding time.

Make no choice you’ll regret
Remember
You’re not alone.

Holy’s here
On this you can be
Certain
You can bet.

Trying To Think

April 22, 2024
Trying To Think ~ Photo by Patrice

Trying to think
What went wrong
What
Was not right
Didn’t
Belong. 

My heart
Holds the answers
My mind
The way. 

Together we will walk
Into
The future
Believing we are not
Yesterday.
