Diva & Lise Painting ~ Watercolour by Patrice

May the sun shine bright
On the season
May joy and happiness
Be yours tonight.

May your heart be filled
With all things glorious
May you feel love
Tonight.

You Haven’t Been There

December 23, 2020

 You Haven’t Been There ~ Photo by Patrice

You haven’t been there
And I haven’t seen
All the wonders
In the world
All
That has been.

But
Tomorrow we’ll go
Locked arm in arm
Down the path of wonder
Into tomorrow
Feeling
Seeing no harm.

The Path Is Varied

December 22, 2020

 The Path Is Varied ~ Photo by Patrice

The path is varied
The trail travelled a lot
My thoughts are hurried
Stepping on this path
I’ve got.

Where will it lead
On what road will I pass
people I know
Those whose friendship
And love will or won’t last.

All questions and answers
I find on this road
Travelled
Will last, last forever
Forever last.

The Telltale Signs

 The Telltale Signs ~ Photo by Patrice

The telltale signs are here
And
Then they go
Hidden deep beneath
The ever flow.

I Don’t Know

Palm Tress in the Sunset ~Photo by Patrice

I don’t know
Nor will I be
Entrenched in anything
Filled with misery
I won’t call
Weep or wail
Sad words
They won’t prevail.

Marching on
Marching forward
Taking positive
Shielding my soul
From all
Nothing more
Than
A coward.

See that light
Feel it fill the sky
Warm my heart
Pour radiance
Throughout the world
Bring glad tears
Healing
To my eyes.

You Are My Sunshine

December 16, 2020

You Are My Sunshine ~ Pen and Ink Art by Patrice

You are my sunshine
My reason for living
With every breath I take
My mind breathes you in
My thoughts go to the times
We had together
When I nestled in your embrace
The world was right
And we were not apart
But there
There together.

Merry, Happy

December 15, 2020

Merry, Happy ~ Watercolour Art by Patrice

No you won’t
No
I’ll be in the depths
of
Merry, Happy.

You can’t change that
You won’t be a clog
in the
Merry, Happy
machinery.

Once Again, Once More

December 14, 2020

Once Again, Once More ~ Photo by Patrice

I feel the heartache
I feel sadness in my soul
Lost and left
I watch
Those trying to climb out
Of deep depression
Once again, once more.

In tomorrow
Will the sun shine again
Will the streets flow with laughter
Will things
Be ever right
Once again, once more?

When I Think All Is Lost

December 11, 2020

In loving memory of Wanda, Siegrun and all those that we have lost in this year ❤️❤️❤️

Patrice's avatarPatrice’s Art & Poetry Blog

When I think all is lost
You come and hold me.

You give me strength
When I feel so weak
You give me hope
A chance to speak
The words that heal me.

My heart’s not broken
It mends, it sees me
Go ahead with life
With you beside me.
~ Patrice  

In memory of Monica – Rest in Heavenly Peace

A World Most Divine

December 9, 2020

A World Most Divine ~ Photo by Patrice

I seek to find
the world
in a place divine

No hatred
killing
ever creeping slime

Caring places all
on the pedestal of sincere
and right

Full of joy
laughter
cuddling thru the night

This is where I want to be
this is how
all things should turn

A place I’ll seek, I’ll look
I’ll find
in a world most divine.
~ Patrice
