So honoured and excited to be part of Experience Collingwood’s Poets & Pics!
My Poem and Photo titled ‘Me and My Shadow ‘ are in the exhibit ‘Collingwood’s Poets & Pics’ , that’s displayed along Collingwood’s Train Trail for the month of April. This is in celebration of National Poetry Month. There’s a total of 17 signs along this section of the trail. It starts at the Collingwood Museum (45 St. Paul Street) and ends at Collins Street.
If you are nearby, or going to be in the area, go, walk the trail and enjoy the series of poems and photographs exhibited! (Mine is south of the water tower :D)

The necessity has come Has gone All that’s left is Beyond my grasp, my hold It’s gone It’s gone.
Make no mistake I needed all But holding on Wasn’t me Wasn’t What I could become No, no Not at all. ~ Patrice

Telling when telling what and who I need to love, cherish to make it thru.
That’s what the universe gives has given me to do. ~ Patrice

Working forward Working is a process To pass thru life Feeling accomplished Feeling I’m doing my best
Will there be rewards?
Will there be stress?
I’m sure lots of both Lots to look back on Knowing I did all I could Knowing I did my best. ~ Patrice

Hold to the land that lets you be the person you want to become.
Allows you never questioning, nor doubting just being, becoming the best you.
That’s all the land asks I’m telling you. ~ Patrice

This may have been written after a terrible tragedy in 2018 but my thoughts and prayers are the same now for the Ukrainian people who have suffered so terribly much.
Patrice’s Art & Poetry Blog
My Deepest Sympathies to the families, friends
All who know victims in yesterday’s horrific tragedy
My prayers go out to you
To the ones whose lives were brutally cut short
Those injured
For no reason.
No sane reason.
You are in my thoughts, my words, my prayers and my heart. ❤~ Patrice

I feel The flesh of my skin Warming To the now coming Spring
I see My legs run Across a path Laden with flowers Beauties of Spring
I hear A call echoing thru my chest Of geese making their flight To reaches north In the now here Spring
No more To wonder No more to wish My body knows winter is lost Chased away By beautiful, glorious Spring. ~ Patrice

Stolen from my mind.
Lost in the wilderness of confusion, despair.
Solely injured from brutal stabs of casual indifference. ~ Patrice

I know I’ve been lost in the wilderness of low self esteem
Climbing out has been hard rocks, crevasses unholy shards pierce my skin, my life my thoughts
Still I climb I push, pull and shove to a glorious world full of grace, courage and self-love. ~ Patrice

Sometimes the truth hurts and not the best thing to hear.
Sometimes its good to accept the truth as it is as it seems.
Sometimes you can make the truth the truth you need to embrace and to believe. ~ Patrice
