Me

December 19, 2024
Me ~ Watercolour Art by Patrice

No one can
know
the secrets hidden
deep
inside
of
me. 

No one can see
the danger
lurking
threatening you 
me. 

No one will be helping
standing
there beside
of
me. 

This I know
this I see
and
will accept
in spite of all
you may be
telling
me.

I Paint

December 18, 2024
Patrice's Art & Affirmation 2025 Calendar

I paint
my calendar
I paint all night
I paint
till the morning light.

I know
my subject feels
the brush strokes caressing them
this beloved pet
I paint
today
and
most of tonight.

I Think

December 17, 2024
I Think ~ Photo by us

Nobody does
what
I think
they should do 

Nor
do they say things
I think
could be true 

Doesn’t matter what
I think 

Cause
people say and do
whatever they want 

What
their heart tells them
they should say 

They think
they should do.

Heartfelt Feelings

Heartfelt Feelings ~ Photo by Patrice

Heartfelt feelings
coming thru 
even though I don’t know
where
they came from
or
where
they’re going to.

A World Most Divine

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.

Understand

December 12, 2024
Understand ~ Photo by Patrice

Do I know
or
understand 

The way the world turns
as if
on elastic bands 

So simple to think of
so hard
to
understand 

That maybe
everything turns in a way
that’s
too simple 

Too simple
to 
understand.

and
Everywhere.

The Blue, Blue Sky

December 9, 2024
Last used Dec. 9/24

You can find me
close by
not far from the hills
under
the blue, blue sky. 

Let me show you
all the magic
I find
on that hill
and
far, far away
up in
the blue, blue sky.

The telltale signs are here 
And 
Then they go 
Hidden deep beneath 
The ever flow.

Feel The Brightness

December 5, 2024
Feel The Brightness ~ Painting by Patrice

Feel the brightness close by
the heat
from
the warmth
make you close your eyes
to let it
penetrate
throughout your body
holding, warming you
no matter what 

Then
smile bright in delight
for
you’re loved
by a source so pure
that
holds you, protects you
with all it’s might
oh yes 
my loving dear.
