Falling Down, Getting Up

March 24, 2021
Falling Down, Getting Up ~ Photo by Patrice

Falling down
Getting up 
Feeling rain
pouring in
Sky
thunderous blue 
Earth
drenched. 

Holding on
getting thru 
storm ends 
Sun shines 
and
once again 

I’ll be with you.

Let Them Help

March 23, 2021
Let Them Help ~ Watercolour by Patrice

Let them help
Let them be part of the solution 
Part of the ever evolving history. 

Let them work 
Let them play and be happy 
For all will come to an end. 

So let the trip, the journey 
Be a good one 
To last long into eternity.

Holding On

March 22, 2021
Last used March 22/21

Holding on
Holding safe 
Letting go
Not to replace love
With hate. 

It may be
Tomorrow 
It may be
Later today 
I will see the world 
In a wondrous
New way.

Sunset

March 19, 2021

Patrice's avatarPatrice’s Art & Poetry Blog

Sun goes down
Into the evening sky
Leaving the moon to reflect it’s light
Into the water deep and blue
Turning it golden
Blood red too.

All is quiet in the evening sky
Birds ponder the reason why
As the sun now sinks
Beneath the ocean blue
Refreshing itself in waters deep, dark
Purely quiet too

Hear Me Call

March 18, 2021
Last used March 18/21

Hear me call
Hear me say 
Words of wonder
Everyday.

Given
By the Saviour 
Told to me
Today.

To pass on to you 
To help us both 
Navigate
Our path, our way.

I Have Seen You

March 17, 2021

Last used March 17/21

I have seen you
your love, honesty
and
virtue.

Knowing
that in-between
are the other things
that
no one wants to see
feel or do.

All
are what makes up
an individual
a life, a soul
and
you.

I have seen you
and
I hope you’ve
seen me
too.

Fulfil The Heart

March 16, 2021

Last used March 16/21

Fulfil the heart
the soul
follow your dreams
to the end
of
the storied road.

Pause
let this journey sink in
soak your soul
in
the many varied stories
you’ll experience
be told.

Fill
your heart with love
let it be carried
forever
in your soul.

Wouldn’t It Be Nice

Wouldn’t it be nice
If the world laughed
No one cried and in the sea
No fish, no lives
No one
No one died.

Wouldn’t it be nice
If the world turned
Looking at itself
Making no excuses, no lies
Just told the truth
With open-hearted sighs.

Wouldn’t it be nice
If the world alone
Gave all the happiness
Needed to survive
Holding everyone in a grasp
So tender, so alive.

Wouldn’t it be nice, Wouldn’t it be nice
~ Patrice

Hear the Song Sing

March 11, 2021

Last used March 11/21

Hear the song sing the world round
Feel the words bring together
Children of the fall
No more to see anger, strife
Only beauty
Happiness for all.
