Hold It Still

Hold It Still ~ Art by Patrice

Hold it still
Let not the movement depict a sound
For in the quiet all will be answered
Salvation will abound.

I See Your Life

January 19, 2021

I See Your Life ~ Photo by Patrice

I see your life in front of me
I see when you fail
And
When you succeed.

Yours is not a life of in-between
You go for all
You leave nothing undone
Nothing not tried.

Yes
That’s the way
The way it all seems.

Riley Passed Away Yesterday

January 18, 2021

 Riley Passed Away Yesterday ~ Photo by Patrice

Riley passed away
yesterday
his beating heart stopped
his breath ceased to be
only memories
memories that is all we have
you see.

A gentle, kind, wondrous guy
knowing, knowledgeable
a smile on his face
devoted beyond belief
this was Riley
who now has been.

He passed away, passed away
yesterday
rest in peace sweet Riley
you were loved and loved
unconditionally.
~ Patrice  

~ My deepest condolences to his family and all that loved him ~

Experience life

Experience joy

Watch the tide rise

The heart breathe

A pounding employed

See the birds fly

A mockingbird cry

Feel the wind blow

Above and beneath

The evening sky

No remorse employed

Regrets not even a few

All life is abound

With joyous blessings too.

Holding On, Holding Close

January 14, 2021

 Holding On, Holding Close ~ Watercolour by Patrice

Holding on, holding close
All that I love
All that means the most
To me
Throughout.

All that is dear
No more will I let go
To lose, to discard
Oh no!

Hold on, hold close
Today, tonight
Throughout all this
My life.
~ Patrice

Never Heard Them Say

January 13, 2021

Never Heard Them Say ~ Photo by Patrice

Never heard them say
Words seeking disaster
No, not today.

But may I testify
That words were said
In anger
Words that need not
Be said
Not one more day.

Keep them contained
In humour
Make those that need
Laugh today.

Never more
Courting disaster
Never hating ever again
If only for just today.

What Is Right

January 12, 2021

What Is Right - Photo by Patrice

Don’t know what to do
What is right
My mind is in
A quandary, a plight.

Will tomorrow
Shed some light
On this dilemma
That I’m struggling with
Tonight.

Or will I go on wondering
What’s best
What is right?

I saw you
You filled my heart
My life did soar
This is all I need
I need no more.

All I Can Know

All I can know
You have given me.

Nothing is left
Out of my destiny.

No heart pumps
Without a soul,

No mind smiles
Unless they know.

Yesterday

Breach of the Capital Building ~ Photo by Jason Andrew

When it happened
What did you say
How did you rationalize
All the people breaching
The Capital building
Yesterday?

Nothing, no one
Can make it seem right
in
Today
Tomorrow
or
Yesterday.
