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.
~ 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
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.

Wishing all
‘HAPPY HOILDAYS’
Staying safe and healthy each and everyday

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
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 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
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.

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
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
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
