Merry, Happy

December 15, 2020

Merry, Happy ~ Watercolour Art by Patrice

No you won’t
No
I’ll be in the depths
of
Merry, Happy.

You can’t change that
You won’t be a clog
in the
Merry, Happy
machinery.

Once Again, Once More

December 14, 2020

Once Again, Once More ~ Photo by Patrice

I feel the heartache
I feel sadness in my soul
Lost and left
I watch
Those trying to climb out
Of deep depression
Once again, once more.

In tomorrow
Will the sun shine again
Will the streets flow with laughter
Will things
Be ever right
Once again, once more?

When I Think All Is Lost

December 11, 2020

In loving memory of Wanda, Siegrun and all those that we have lost in this year ❤️❤️❤️

Patrice's avatarPatrice’s Art & Poetry Blog

When I think all is lost
You come and hold me.

You give me strength
When I feel so weak
You give me hope
A chance to speak
The words that heal me.

My heart’s not broken
It mends, it sees me
Go ahead with life
With you beside me.
~ Patrice  

In memory of Monica – Rest in Heavenly Peace

The Best Person

 The Best Person ~ Photo by Patrice

I know you haven’t been
The best person
ever being
But
I must say
You’re the best
I’ve ever seen.

A World Most Divine

December 9, 2020

A World Most Divine ~ Photo by Patrice

I seek to find
the world
in a place divine

No hatred
killing
ever creeping slime

Caring places all
on the pedestal of sincere
and right

Full of joy
laughter
cuddling thru the night

This is where I want to be
this is how
all things should turn

A place I’ll seek, I’ll look
I’ll find
in a world most divine.

Deep Breath In

December 8, 2020

Deep Breath In ~ Photo by Patrice

Deep breath in
To where my heart
Love flows
Holding all
Nothing far apart.

And
In the morning
When I rise
All will be at peace
I will survive.

You Have Heard

You Have Heard ~ Photo by Patrice

You have heard
I have seen
things of beauty
unforeseen.

Why they bloom
why they thrive
questions, answers not
before my eyes.

I’m Still Here

December 4, 2020

Patrice's avatarPatrice’s Art & Poetry Blog

My Family ~ unknown photographer

I may no longer
Be firmly in your presence
I may be a memory now
Only a thought
A time in your life.

But I’m still here
In that thought
or a glint in your eye
A soft word spoken
To show, to guide.

No longer can I caress
With a hand you can see
But I’m here
Feel my breath as the breeze
Blows gently
That’s me.

Hear my heart
Now silent beat
When you see
A beautiful flower
A tree bend in the wind
Hear me.

No sad words need to be said
Over top of the berth
I now call my bed
For I have gone
To a place full of grace.

Kindness, radiant
Loving light fill this world
I’m now in
Gentle ones share, care
They hold me in.

Please don’t despair
Because I’m no longer there
In a form you’ve known
For I’m here
I’m still here.
~ Patrice

Show Me If I’m Right

December 3, 2020

 Show Me If I’m Right ~ Photo by Patrice

Show me if I’m right
And even if
I’m wrong.

Let the path direct me
Where I need to be
Right or wrong.

See the skies
Hold me on the earth
So strong.

And when my days
Are finished
Carry my soul to that world
Where I belong.

What Will Be The Answer

December 2, 2020

What Will Be The Answer ~ Photo by Patrice

What will be the answer
what will happen here
will we rejoice with happiness
or
will all wonder disappear?

So many gone
so
many not here

I wonder what the answer is
and
will I be able to accept
what I hear?
~ Patrice
