Heaven Can Take Me Only

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
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

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.

Understand

Understand ~ Photo by Patrice

Nobody can or will understand
What has happened
What will be

Neither does me

That’s why we go ahead
Move forward
Farther
Farther ahead

To the destination
We were meant to see
To be

Maybe then
We can
We’ll understand.

Holding My Heart

April 9, 2024
Holding My Heart

Holding my heart
near to me
so it won’t break
fall from joy
into
misery.

I’ll hold her close
feel the veins and arteries
pumping
throughout
my grateful body.

She has been
but never seen
light
hidden deep
inside of me.

Never spoken or cried
there 
she stays
inside of me
inside
my body.

Seven Twice Minus One

Seven twice minus one
Brings us to the time
Before we begun
To see one another
As we were
What we’d become.

Seven twice minus one
Only date
We start from.

I Wonder, Wonder Where

I Wonder, Wonder Where ~ Photo by Patrice

I wonder, wonder where
The squirrel at the feeder
Came from.

Where the sun was before
It shone in the sky.

When people thought
That they may fly.

What was said when
The mountains fell.

As a earthquake opened up
And shattered the ground.

I wonder, wonder where
The answers can be found.

To Go

To Go ~ Watercolour Painting by Patrice

No where to be
No where to go
Sitting here pleasantly wondering
Why I stay home
No more
To go.

That Little Voice

March 20, 2024
That Little Voice ~ Photo by Patrice

Listen to that little voice
That
Speaks inside your head
The soft, gentle sound
That tells
What’s right, what’s wrong.

The one who says
Which path to take
If  you should
Go 
Not hesitate, not wait.

When you find
The one
You think you love
She’ll tell you
If you need to stay 
Or
If you should not walk 
But run.

So listen
Listen to that little voice
She knows your heart
She knows
Knows what’s best.

Never lose that
Connection
Never ignore that voice
For
She says the wisest words 
There 
Inside your head.
