Unholy Happenings

Unholy Happenings ~ Photo by Patrice

Unholy happenings
unhappiness
has begun  
bogged down in misery 
what oh what has
this become? 

Let no one stay 
in
the vicinity 
let no man or woman 
be
overcome. 

Let joy and happiness 
be the ones 
we see, feel, experience 
and
become.

Let Me Feel Love

February 7, 2022
Let Me Feel The Love ~ Photo by Patrice

Let me feel
love and grace 
let me embrace all this 
that nature has to give 
gives
with love and natural grace. 

Let me not endure 
for long
sadness nor despair 
let happiness and love
prevail 
chasing away all that’s wrong 
all that doesn’t care.

Beauty

Look out and see
Beauty 
Breathtaking beauty 
That
Seems not much 
You may say 

But 

See, feel and hear 
All the beauty 
The breathtaking beauty 
Unfolding
In front of you 
Each and everyday.

The Knowledge, The Answers

February 2, 2022
The Knowledge, The Answers ~ Watercolour Art by Patrice

Hearing, listening
for
the knowledge 
the answers 

I need, I seek 

It may be tomorrow 
or
the day after that 

They’ll come 

the knowledge 
the answers 
will appear 

I know 

Just like that.

Follow Your Heart

Follow Your Heart ~ Photo by Patrice

I haven’t seen nor do I know 
the answers to what you need 
you think I know. 

You must follow your heart 
feel it’s rhythm beating 
let it show you where to go 
the path to take 
believing. 

For its been the only thing 
that’s been there
since your existence
your beginning.

I’ve Seen Your Sweet Face

W.R.A.C. 2002 Fall Trial - High Scoring VPG II ~ Me and my Great Faldo

I’ve seen your sweet face 
Smiling
Full of grace. 

All
I can do 
Is
Try to be as great 
As great as you.

Falling softly
Laying quiet upon the ground
No sound tells the story
No wind whispers words
That made snow
Come falling down.

Just You, Just Me

January 27, 2022
Last used Jan. 27/22

Together we’ll be
walking thru wonder 

Just you, Just me 

We’ll see all 
the fascinating treasures 
laid out to see 

Just you, Just me 

We’ll walk in sunlight 
rays warm and comforting 

Just you, Just me 

I know you wonder how I know all this 
I’ll tell you 
but
its a secret between  

Just you, Just me.

My Heart Does Break

January 26, 2022
My Heart Does Break ~ Photo by Patrice

I’m sad 
My heart does break 
Remembering  
The good times, laughter, long walks 
Oh
For heavens sake. 

They are all in the past
Now 
Memories I won’t shake 
For they keep you near me 
With me 
Oh 
How my heart does break.

My Heart Churns, It Doesn’t Beat

My Heart Churns, It Doesn't Beat  ~ Photo by Patrice

My heart churns, it doesn’t beat 
Thinking of the last time 
The last time
We would meet. 

I didn’t understand
Why 
You were sad 
Saying words that changed 
Everything. 

My love, my heart 
All things 
Near and far in this land. 

My heart churns, it doesn’t beat 
I hear it cry 
As all alone
I stand.
