Let Me

Let Me ~ Photo by Patrice

Let me
see
feel
the magic
in
the world
the land

Let me
step
upon
soft ground
but not
deserted sand

Let me
envelop
myself
in
generous
spirituality 

Let me
not
say
anything
that
isn’t real

Let me
be.

I Am Strong ~ Watercolour Art by Patrice

I am strong
my mind is bold
I will become
what my heart beats
what is mine
to
behold.

Can You See Me?

Can You See Me? ~ Photo by Patrice

Can you see me? 

Am I
close to you? 

Are my lips moving
singing
songs
of
love? 

Do my steps
follow
the righteous path
or
veer into
what’s called
a
disastrous class? 

Are you there beside of me? 

Can I hear
your voice
singing words
in
a pleasant melody? 

Do I know
if
I fall
you’ll be there
picking me
up 

Supporting me 

Till the trail ends
and
we have made it 

We are there.

Stranger than fiction 
Stronger than life 
Accepting all visions 
Making no fight. 

Believing in heaven 
The devil and hell 
Make no correction 
It’ll turn out so well.

I Hold You Close

I Hold You Close ~ Photo by us

I hold you 
close 
I hold you tight 
we are together 
thru 
the long 
dark night 

In the morning 
when the sun shines bright 
we’ll walk together 
no fear 
no fright.

You Can Hear Me

 You Can Hear Me ~ Photo by Patrice

You can hear me
call
you can see me
cry 

Yet
no where
do I see you come
to
me 

Help me
thru
this that keeps me
trapped 

No, not that I’m aware 

I hope tomorrow
or
the day after that
I will feel
your embrace 

Know that you
indeed
do
care.

I Have To Seek

I Have To Seek ~ Photo by Patrice

I have to seek
I have to find
the answers in this mess
make it 

Divine 

I reach out
I ask
they look back at me 
they don’t answer
blank
is
all I see 

I must seek 
I must find 
all
the answers 
to make my world
a place
of
peace 

So
Divine.

I See The Beauty ~ Photo by Patrice

I see the beauty 
The magnificence 
In all the land. 

As I stand in awe of all 
She reaches down 
She touches me 
She touches all. 

She understands.

My Heart Shines

My Heart Shines ~ Photo by Patrice

My heart
Shines

A smile comes 
Spreads
Across my face 

The sun beams
Bright
and
Victorious 

The clouds
have
Cleared 

All
is
Right 

I will
Persevere 

I will 
Succeed 

I will be
Victorious 

Today 
Tonight!
