Will I Show You Who I Am

Will I show you who I am
Will I reveal the face
I know I’ve been?

Will the lines of tomorrow
Be etched
Across my taunt skin?

Will the ones
That happened yesterday
Be still there
In a full or forced grin?

I don’t know the answer
Cause you see
I don’t know who I’ve been.

The Truth

The Truth ~ Photo by Patrice

Is the end the answer
Will the truth be told?

No more to wonder
No need to scold

For the truth is the answer
The truth is what’s told.

Hold still, hold quiet
Let the night bring peace and joy
Forever and a eternity.

Home Again

Home Again ~ Photo by Patrice

Home again
Home to stay 
Wait til happiness wains 
Then I’ll go away 
To a life of my choosing 
Where I’ll make it
Home 
And then once more
I’ll be home again 
Home to stay.

I Watch You Be

February 8, 2021

I Watch You Be

I watch you be
The very best
You can possibly be.

No ifs ands or buts
All straight forward
All the very best
That heaven gave
You to be.

It’s Time The Master Said

It’s time the master said

To live without fear

Without dread

Back to the heart

That rises fine and true

Keeps the soul warm

Surrounding you.

It’s time the master said

Hold your head high

Reach to the sky

Make no one sad

Nor deny

The feelings you feel.

It’s time

It’s time the master said.

Cold Drips

Cold drips
It wains
Sun warms
Spring
Summer are on the horizon
If you stand on a tall hill
You can see them
Plain.

Hold Me Close

February 2, 2021

Hold Me Close ~ Watercolour Pet Portrait Art by Patrice

Hold me close, hold me tight
Let me sleep in peace
Throughout the darkest night
Let no one keep gentle thoughts
From surrounding me.

For tomorrow will be
Another day
The sun will rise and shine
Holding night at bay.

Til she too succumbs
To quiet rest
In the arms of one
Who loves her dearly
Loves her best.

Feel The Snow Fly

February 1, 2021

Feel The Snow Fly ~ Photo by Patrice

Feel the snow fly
The blizzard roar
And the sky cry. 

A storm
Blows across
A cold, barren land.

No soul ventures out
No one wants to know
How cold winter is.

Blowing
Covering all
The freezing land.
~ Patrice
