No Matter What Happens To Me

December 12, 2019

 

Lion and Rhino Standoff ~ Pastel Art by Patrice

No matter what happens to me
the world will turn on into its destiny
flowers will bloom, bees be busy
nothing matters except the going
the moving from what has
to what will be.

Save your breath for breathing
your words to speak adoration
of the heaven that has given all
just for you
asking nothing in return
only wanting to be.

Wondering Who Is Listening

November 14, 2019

Cow Butts ~ Watercolour by Patrice

Wondering who is listening
Hearing my words
Speaking, understanding those
That they’ve heard.

Will I go on or say not a word
A quandary
I’m taking to heart
Without
Writing down a single word.

I Am The One

November 1, 2019

Patrice's avatarPatrice’s Art & Poetry Blog

I am the one
Who saves my life
The one who guides me
Thru the strife.

I am the one
No need to guess
Still I know, I need not think
I’m alone
And hopelessly guideless.

I am the one
But at my side, in front of me
Has my back, my destiny
A soul so strong, so kind to me
Shows me right and that that’s wrong.

I am the one
Who chooses my each and every way
Thou I know that kind soul
Guides me all through the day.

I Know Why I’m Here

October 30, 2019

German Rottie ~ Painting by Patrice

I know why I’m here
Know the world spins and turns
I know sadness and grief
And
I know great joy and ecstasy.

Yes
I know what it means
To be in this world
And part of everything.

When I Hear Your Heart

Dobie pup ~ Drawing by Patrice

When I hear your heart
Go
Tic toc, tic toc

I’ll send you love
I’ll forget you not.

I Have Found

September 26, 2019

Rottie Pups ~ Painting by Patrice

I have found
My life abounds
With great and grandeur things
If I stay my breath
And listen
To all that brings me joy
Love
And lovely earthly things.

Exalted

September 25, 2019

3 Rotties ~ Illustration by Patrice

Holy has it
Blessed to be
In the company of the exalted
Those that run the universe
The rain, the wind
And me.

No one says
They are lonely
Nor do they see reason
To be unhappy
Or heaven forbid
Angry.

You will be one
Of these persons
You will be filled with ecstasy
For the exalted
Will make sure
It comes to be.

Why Haven’t I

September 23, 2019

Credit Union Blue Water Poster ~ Art by Patrice

Why haven’t I seen
Your heart open up
Your voice speak
Soft, lilting words

Why haven’t I known
The place where all go
To be safe and unhurt
Why haven’t I?

I don’t know why
I haven’t been able
To experience all
Of these things.

I do know they exist
And know
Someday I’ll see all these
Beautiful, wondrous things.

Sadness

September 20, 2019

Patrice's avatarPatrice’s Art & Poetry Blog

Carlos ~ Watercolour Painting by Patrice

Sadness lingers giving a sad taste
Mental anguish holds memories in
Sadness’s wake.

This too will pass in future’s time
Overshadowed
By weeping and sad crying.

For now I hold my sadness near
All that’s left
Of one life so dear.
~ Patrice
