I’m Not Sure

March 18, 2022

Patrice's avatarPatrice’s Art & Poetry Blog

I’m not sure what I’ll write
Something about yesterday
Maybe something
That will occur tonight.

No rules in place
No sayings to follow
Just hear that soft voice speak
And my writing, my words
They follow.

For Heaven’s Sake

March 17, 2022
For Heaven's Sake ~ Illustration by Patrice for Dogs In Canada Magazine

For heaven’s sake
you are blessed
driven
to be your best.

For heaven’s sake
don’t listen
don’t wait to be
forgiven.

For heaven’s sake
know it’s not your fault
heaven knows
and
heaven has
forgiven.

Holding On And Holding Fast

March 16, 2022
Holding Go And Holding Fast ~ Photo by Patrice

Holding on and holding fast
Not letting go.

Til the earth is beneath my feet  
The sand whispering in my ear  
And wind blowing too and fro.

Then
And only then
Will I let go.

Finding My Way

March 15, 2022
Finding My Way ~ Watercolour by Patrice

Searching 
finding my way 
not from
all that’s bad 
just from the bland
the
everyday. 

Focus on learning 
see the way 
to
something better 
something 
I just learned
today.

Hidden Beneath

Hidden Beneath ~ Photo by Patrice

Hidden beneath 
the sacrifice 

Deep
in the abyss of darkness 
deceit  

Sits
a radiance of hope 
glimmering 
breathing 

No words spoke 
but
listen 

Listen.

I Wonder What

I wonder what
I will say
What I’ll see
In the morning
Unfolding
Just before me.

No breath is taken
Carelessly
Holding on
Moving forward
Knowing I have
Heaven and earth
Backing me.

Hidden Treasures

March 10, 2022
Last used March 10/22

Hidden treasures
Laden with controversy 

Hidden treasures
Buried deep 

How
Did they get there? 

How
Did they come to be? 

Hidden treasures
Hidden 

Will they ever
Ever again be seen?

Each Morning

March 9, 2022
Last used March 9/22

Each morning
I create 
Patrice 

Each morning
I make her come alive 

Each night she sleeps
but
does not die

Each day 
I appreciate she lives 
she is alive.

A Plan

March 8, 2022
A Plan ~ Photo by Patrice

Seeing ideas, hearing plans 
feeling emotions
of
what could be 
what I could accomplish 
that
that I should start
to plan. 

Smile gently 
speak about my vision’s plan 
hear
how I can execute 
all those things
that’ll bring it to reality 
more than just 
a plan.

Have I

March 7, 2022
Have I  ~ Photo by Patrice

How have I come to feel this way? 

Where will I go on this another day? 

Have I been there before? 

Have I passed by this way? 

Will I go beyond the horizon? 

Become lost in the sun’s rays? 

Answers I question 

Questions I’m asking 

Today.
