Nocturnal living
Secret life
Moving thru the darkness
Ignoring a bright life.

Strange Dreams

July 11, 2017

Winter Snow ~ Photo by Patrice

Strange dreams populate my night
They make no sense telling stories
Of places never seen
People I know
But they are in a strange dream.

Somethings seem familiar
In an odd way
I’ve been there
But I can’t tell you
When or on what day.

I awaken quizzing
Just what was this experience
No words to describe
That strange dream experience.

The Heart Is A Treasure

July 10, 2017

Saluki ~ Watercolour by Patrice

The heart is a treasure
Hopefully, never to be seen
It guides, beats life in a body
Where she is queen.

The mind may be king
But the heart, she is queen
Without her
The mind can’t do anything.

Giving life, birthing life
Holding life in between
No one lives a life without a heart
Hopefully, never to be seen.

Let me be free
Free to accept life as it should be
Free to be the one I want to be
Free
Free to be me.

Hearing All The Noises

July 6, 2017

Golden in Trouble ~ Illustration by Patrice for Dogs In Canada Magazine

Hearing all the noises
Bashing in my head
No time to see the goodness
Only misery, loneliness and dread.

Honestly don’t know
What became of my lighthearted soul
Mired down in stress
Burdened with things as dark as coal.

No one will help me out
No one really cares
All I hear is bashing, crashing in my head
Filled with misery, loneliness and  dread.

Knowing Not

Knowing not
What the day will bring
Hoping, anticipating
All great things.

Here in my heart
I will bring
The best I can
It will mean everything.

Heaven Help The World Understand

July 4, 2017

Winter Flower ~ Photo by Patrice

Heaven help the world
Understand
There is no tomorrow
If we don’t stand and
Let nature be around.

We alone cannot supply
Our food nor make rain
Come pouring down.

Understand
We are but a small dot
In a world
Simply
Spinning round.

You Are On My Journey

Patrice's Watercolour Portrait Art

You are on my journey
I’m on your path
The way, it wanders but I can see
There is no more wrath.

Quiet acceptance
Honouring you, honouring me
Moving on into each our destinys.

I am on your path
You are on my road
We pass by smiling full with love
Wondering what life does hold.

Bide your time
I’ll let it be
A wondrous world spreading out
In front of thee.

Sleepy Tired

June 29, 2017

Old House ~ Photo by Patrice

Sleepy tired
Worry wakes me in the night
Toss turn
Feeling no sleep
As anguish plays on my sleepless stage
In a darkness with no saving light.

Maybe in the morning
All will be clear
A path opening up, a way from here to there
But tonight greeted with only so many questions
Keeping me sleepy tired
In a dim, dark hopeless night.
~ Patrice
