There Wasn’t Anytime

December 19, 2019

Costa Rican Calm ~ Photo by Patrice

There wasn’t anytime
To tell you or change my mind
Racing on into what hasn’t been
Time will tell if it was the right thing
Until then, I won’t say anything
Anything.

Feeling The Weight

December 18, 2019

Old House Window ~ Photo by Patrice

Feeling the weight holding me down
Struggling, fighting against a strength
That all I can say, astounds.

Maybe tomorrow the way will be light
Maybe then I won’t be feeling
This heavy weight I’m feeling tonight.

Sadness Breaks My Heart

December 16, 2019

Siegrun and her beloved dogs ~ Painting by Patrice

Sadness breaks my heart
learning of life to death
seeing those loved
who’ve come and now must depart.

The road is long or maybe short
travelled on with those loved
and kept forever
in our hearts.

Sadness sometimes
is helped
by just holding close
still loving in our hearts.

Nothing ever will come between.

No Matter What Happens To Me

December 12, 2019

 

Lion and Rhino Standoff ~ Pastel Art by Patrice

No matter what happens to me
the world will turn on into its destiny
flowers will bloom, bees be busy
nothing matters except the going
the moving from what has
to what will be.

Save your breath for breathing
your words to speak adoration
of the heaven that has given all
just for you
asking nothing in return
only wanting to be.

I am who I am, the best I can be
Don’t worry or fret

Don’t marry insanity.

Snow Comes Flying Down

December 10, 2019

Snowfall ~ Photo by Patrice

Snow comes flying down
laying waste to brown ground
swirls, banks of white
blowing on into night.

Hiding the sun, the moon
making all the landscape
a stark sight
enveloping the earth
like a giant cocoon .

It may be tomorrow
all will melt
til then enjoy the scene
and later
remember how it felt.

No One Knows

December 9, 2019

Boyne River at Old Mill ~ Photo by Patrice

No one knows nor do they care
mainly
mainly just because
they weren’t there.

Cause it all to be forgotten
Left behind
pages wrote, time sodden
with the tears of those
left behind and forgotten.

Had A Dream Today

December 6, 2019

Patrice's avatarPatrice’s Art & Poetry Blog

Had a dream today
All my problems they just floated away
No need to agonize
No time to feel remorse
Immersed in happiness my course
Set far from sadness
Can’t remember any heart retching tale
Only gladness on this happy trail.
~ Patrice
