A Sense Of Well-Being

July 14, 2016

A sense of well-being does not change the world
A sense of well-being changes how I see the world.

When The Rains Fell Down

July 13, 2016

When the rains fell down
The sky was blue
Feeling all the misery
That’s come to you.

Tears of sadness
Heartache blue
Rains fell, not only crying
But to comfort you.
~ Patrice

Disaster Could Have Happened

July 12, 2016

Disaster could have happened
Tragedy could have fell
Heartache in the moment
So fast no one could tell
If the world was alright
Or descended into Hell.

Prayers were answered, lives spared
But the fear of danger will forever tear
At a heart beating rapidly
Frantic to get to safety
To get away, to be spared.

All is quiet now
Birds sing a happy song
And
Somewhere in the forest, a mother
Loves her fawn.
~ Patrice

Our rottie attacked a fawn about the same size as him in our backyard this morning. Fortunately, we got to them before any harm was done and the fawn was reunited with it’s mother.

We

Owl ~ Illustration by Patrice

We wonder lots of things
We ponder everything
We walk in step with nature
Believing
Anything is possible
Anything.

Once Upon A Time

July 8, 2016

Patrice’s Art & Poetry Blog

Once
Once upon a time
I dreamed
Dreamed you were mine.

This was a time
When all was perfect
And sublime.

Yes, you were mine
When I dreamed of a
Oh so perfect time.

Patrice's Watercolour Portrait Art

No bittersweet goodbyes
Only loving, happy times
When you were mine
In a perfect time.

It was a time
The sun shone down on us
Filling all with a radiant glow
Of tender love
Sweet tender love.

I dreamed a dream
Once upon a time
When you
You were mine.
~ Patrice

Bright Colours Of Spring

July 7, 2016

Bright colours of spring
Have bloomed
Into vibrant summer things.

No world is full
Til summer brings
Harvest of spring’s risings.

The Heart Beats

July 6, 2016

Black Coral ~ Photo by Brent

The heart beats a melodic song
Sending life throughout the quiet soul
Never once stopping or hesitating
Just keeping love in an even flow
Throughout the inner world
The one, the only one
That’s with you where’er you go.
~Patrice
