I’ve Had Help

January 5, 2022
Last used Jan. 5/21

I’ve had help 
I’ve not been alone 
Only have to look to my side
To see 
You there. 

Not a word is said 
But 
A voice I hear 
Conveying thoughts 
Instilling 
Absolutely no fear.

Every Time

January 4, 2022
Every Time ~ Photo by Patrice

Every time 
I hear your heart beat 
my breath is taken away 
Every time 

Every time
my heart does race 
when I feel your love so near 
Every time 

Every time
my soul seeks
refuge in the love we share 
I know I will be safe 
Every time 

Every time

Hear The Words Spoken

January 1, 2022
Hear The Words Spoken ~ Photo by Patrice

Hear the words spoken 
softly
in your ear. 

Heed the directions
given 
without apprehension.  

Know
the master of the universe
is near. 

Holding
you
protecting you. 

Have no fear.

The feeder hangs
Quiet and discreet
Waiting for company
To enjoy her treats.

No bad or evil thoughts
Does she convey
Feeding all who happen
To pass her way.

Filled up or near empty
She stands quietly there
Holding something
She lives to share.

Loyalty Is Something

December 22, 2021
Loyalty Is Something ~ Photo by Patrice

Loyalty is something
We all need 
No questions asked, no what ifs 
No
None of that. 

When the world goes
Full round 
It makes sure
All
Is right 
All is above ground. 

That’s when
I see 
My loyalty is to 
The earth
All creatures, all things 
Including me.

Honoured To Be Part

December 20, 2021
Honoured To Be Part ~ Photo by Patrice

Honoured to be part of
A world caring 
Generous and loving 
Even if tomorrow storms gather 
Obscuring laughter 

It doesn’t matter 
For those clouds will part 
Be blown away 
All will be lovely once again
As it was just yesterday.

My Journey Is Special

December 17, 2021

Patrice's avatarPatrice’s Art & Poetry Blog

Last used July 13/20My journey is special
I am elite
No one else walks, talks
Or looks like me.

My heart skips a beat
When I look in the mirror
For there someone exceptional
Is looking at me.

No one in this world
This story or be
The exact same example
The same human being.

I am special
I am me.

The Darkest Night

The Darkest Night ~ Photo by Patrice

Let me hold you tight 
Protect you through 
The darkest night 

Let no harm come to you 
As I watch for wrong to come sneaking in 
On that darkest night 

I will put myself in front of you 
Protect and sacrifice my life 
So that you may live thru this darkest
Darkest night.

The World Is Round

The World Is Round ~ Photo by Patrice

The world is round
and
comes full round 
what is bad
turns to goodness 
that
does abound. 

Feel the change 
the transition
to 
beauty, grace
hidden in
sadness, destitute 

Maybe tomorrow
you will
see 
all this unfold
as
the world turns 
round you, round me.

Death Is Overpowering Me

December 10, 2021

Patrice's avatarPatrice’s Art & Poetry Blog

Lone Dog – Art by Patrice

Death is overpowering me
Coming, telling me
What to do, where to go
Where to be.

Death is walking beside me
Holding gently, telling me
Souls who go don’t leave
They too, are alongside me.

Death is breathing life inside me
My time will come but not now
Go live a life full of love
Fun and beauty.

This death tells me.
~ Patrice
