Snow’s Falling

January 17, 2022

Snow’s falling
oh how it’s coming down! 

Roads closed 
drivers turning round 

or 

Stuck in a white world 
frantic

Hoping soon
the snow will stop 

Stop
it’s falling down.

Reset My Life

My Best Friend ~ Watercolour by Patrice

Reset my life in an instant
Like a roll of the dice
Never knowing where it’s going
Never understanding
Where I’ve just been
I’m here, moving
Going forward
With a smile and a grin.

Powerful Times Need To Come

January 13, 2022
Powerful Times Need To Come ~ Photo by Brent

Powerful times need to come 
covering all in hope
and
tremendous love 

Then we’ll see 
hear and feel
joy 
throughout
the mountains, valleys 
and
the hills 

No more to mourn 
for
we will be
in the hearts of another 
protected, 
able to grow unconcerned 
with small trivial fare.

The Heart Is Cold

January 12, 2022
The Heart Is Cold ~ Photo by Patrice

The heart is cold 
And
Does not beat 
With love 

Just full of hate 
Anger, blatant lies 
No 
Not love 

See it fester 
Boil over
Beating, beating
Not with love.

My Heart Aches

My Heart Aches ~ Photo by Patrice

 

 

 

 

My heart aches 
my eyes cry 
my feet walk
a endless lie 

No saviour in sight 
no helping hand 
my remorse
is apparent 

I cannot stand 
on the precipice
of anger 
and
be in command   

No 

But yes 

Yes I can.

I Hear Your Cry

January 10, 2022
I Hear Your Cry ~ Watercolour Art by Patrice

I hear your cry 
I hear that mournful sound 
echoing
amongst the hills 
valleys
all around. 

Will I too cry, will I be sad
inconsolable 
in my quest for love 
amongst
all this sadness
and
sorrow? 

No answer comes 
no words uttered 
all
I hear is 
that awful 
awful
mournful sound.

Pull me to the centre
Stand in front of me
Protect me from whatever comes
Wanting
To inflict harm on me.

Please make the world
a better place 
one with not only beauty
but 
loving, caring grace. 

Let no one be left behind 
hurt or disgraced 
keep loving all things
as you would want yourself 
loved and embraced.

My heart goes out to the the people and their families
that lost their lives on this day one year ago.

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
