When I Hear

November 1, 2022

When I Hear ~ Photo by Patrice

When I hear the voices call
My heart bumps
skips a beat.

When I hear that melody
I know
know I’m not alone
nor to be.

When I hear the voices sing
sing of love, compassion
everything.
~ Patrice

The Hearts

October 28, 2022

Patrice’s Art & Poetry Blog

The hearts of men and every woman
Beat, pound a melodic rhythm
Breath taken in, breathing out
Lungs expand and eyes look about
Fingers touch a soft, gentle ground
As feet run full speed all around.

All this done with not a thought
Of how to do it or where it starts
For life begins and only stops
When the end has come
And the heart, it stops.
~ Patrice

Suddenly

October 27, 2022

Suddenly ~ Photo by Patrice

Suddenly,
in the heart of things
the world turns and it brings
glories so magnificent
it’s undeniably the world’s
best of things.

Suddenly,
spinning round once again
you see new fantastic things
then and there, deciding
it’s best to let the world
be turning, turning into more
stupendous things.
~ Patrice

No One Else

No One Else ~ Illustration by Patrice

No one else
no one will be just the same
cause as you may know
or can see
we’re all unique
never not the same
not the same as
you and me.

Gently Lay The Burden Down

October 25, 2022

Gently Lay The Burden Down ~ Photo by Patrice

Gently
Lay the burden down
Caress it softly
Hear the ground moan quietly
From the weight you laid down

Feel no anger, no remorse
Your work is done
You’ve travelled the entire course
Now, you are the one
To show the way.

Not deviating
No
Not today.
~ Patrice

Take Hold Of Me

October 24, 2022

Take Hold Of Me ~ Watercolour by Patrice

Take hold of me
And please hold tight

Protect, guide me
Through the darkest night

Let no harm come to me
Or those I love

This I ask, I ask of you
My sweet love.
~ Patrice

When I Fall

October 21, 2022

Patrice’s Art & Poetry Blog

When I fall
I must get up
Look to the horizon
Never giving up.

Failure is only a learning step
Nothing happens
That you can’t accept
Learn or forget.
~ Patrice

I Am A Survivor

October 20, 2022

I Am A Survivor ~ Photo by Patrice

I am a survivor

I survived hatred, anger
things
that made me a victim

I am a survivor

I came through
growing into someone
who understands how it happened

I am a survivor

Only hurt, remorse for those
who inflicted that hatred
that anger

I am a survivor

Have moved forward
built a life full of love, generosity
no hatred, some anger

I am

I am a survivor.
~ Patrice

Holding On, Holding Close

October 19, 2022

Holding On, Holding Close ~ Photo by Patrice

Holding on, holding close
all that I love and cherish
through
the darkest time.

Let us not be separated
or
hurt in anyway
any kind.

This I ask
I pray
to
the wondrous, great Divine.

Don’t Know

October 18, 2022

Don't Know ~ Photo by Patrice

Don’t know
where I’ve been
or
what I’ve done.

The truth
is

I believe
my life, my journey
has
just begun.
