Wondering What

January 5, 2023
Wondering What ~ Photo by Patrice

Sitting here wondering 
What has begun
What will take place
What has run to it’s end
What has not.

These are things I think about
I take to my heart
For it must live through every single thing
Every single bit and not skip a beat
No, it must not.

The past 

Get on with

Going Forward, Not Looking Back

Going Forward, Not Looking Back - Photo by Patrice

Going forward, not looking back 
Leaving badness in the past

Let no one be carried
On a bed of sadness

But

Rejoice, go forward 
Pursuing happiness.

When I Heard You Calling Me

December 23, 2022

Wishing all Happy Holidays and a very Merry Christmas! 😀

Patrice's avatarPatrice’s Art & Poetry Blog

Mom and Dad

When I heard you
Calling me
My heart stopped
It skipped a beat.

Tell me why
I can be alone
Lost without you
Near me.

You make me whole
A life to love
With arms wrapped
Around my soul.

Your heart, my heart
Filled with love
Together always
In everlasting love.

Figure It Out

December 21, 2022
Figure It Out ~ Photo by Patrice

Let me figure it out

Thoughts run through my mind
trying to see the answer to make everything
I want to happen
come about. 

Think seriously, think again
see the path, the way
construct how I’m going to get there
the why, where 
and
how it’s going to come about 

Let me sit down quietly
take a deep, soft breath in 
think

figure it out.

Beauty In Nature

December 20, 2022

We come to see
The beauty in nature
Here, for all
To see.  

Just take a breath
Look around
See
All the magnificence
That nature has given
To you, to me

I can’t get where I want to go
If
I don’t know where that is.

Snow Flies

Snow flies
And we answer
Why? Why?

Blizzards blow fierce white
Changing darkness
Into a brilliant seeing night.

Cold with icicles
Dripping down
Covering a frigid, frozen ground.

Rivers run underneath
A covering of ice and snow
Sometimes more than a foot deep.

We live thru this
We
We do exist.
