I

April 11, 2019

Self Portrait ~ Illustration by Patrice

I can’t be scorned, belittled or debased
I am alive, I have survived
And
I know, know what I need to do.

Another Idea Came To Mind

April 10, 2019

Rottie Pups ~ Painting by Patrice

Another idea came to mind
Popped into my head
My mind
Write it down, ponder it
Express it
Make it become
A reality.

Cause if I let it be
It’ll wander and fade
To a fleeting thought
That once lived
Briefly
In my mind
In my psyche.

Let Me Be The One

April 9, 2019

Spike & Grinch ~ Watercolour Art by Patrice

Don’t let me be the one
The one that cries out lies
Never happy with her life
Always, always helping no one.

Don’t let me be the one
Who sees nothing pure or good
Looking every time
To the bad, the sad
Let me be not that one.

Let me be the one
Who sees beauty in everything
Feels life in the wind, earth and sky
A presence who just can’t
And won’t be denied
Let me, let me be that one.

Sometimes A Memory

Henry ~ Pen and Ink Art by Patrice

Sometimes a memory
Sadden, falls down my face
Coming straight from heaven
It holds a special time and place
In my heart forever
Starting there, glistening
Upon my face.

I Heard Your Heart Beat

March 21, 2019

Shepherd and Bouvier playing ~ Illustration by Patrice

I heard your heart beat
I saw your breath breathe
My fingers touched your lips
My hands caressed your feet.

As my soul touched yours
I knew, knew there was
No where else in this world
I need be or rather go.

I’ve Gone The Distance

March 18, 2019

Scratchboard Horses ~ Illustration by Patrice

I’ve gone the distance
I’ve paid the price
The fruits of my labour
may not be suffice
I’ve toiled, anguished
Over minor things
Leaping over hurdles
I’ve just about brought
My heart to the brink
Then
Because I love you
I believe
It’s worth everything.

Keeping, Feeling

March 12, 2019

Starting Points in Math ~ Illustration by Patrice for publisher, Ginn & Company

Keeping everything in store
Keeping all things close to me
Feeling insecure
Feeling
Feeling a little needy.

Hearing Words

March 11, 2019

Pen Ink Drawing of an Owl ~ Illustration by Patrice for B.C. Central Credit Union

Hearing words in my head
They tell of times past
Then
Sometimes things ahead

‘Listen
Listen well’

Is what they said

‘For in telling, we give you
A chance to know
Know how to deal with
What has happened
And what is still ahead’.

I Saw You Together

Yehudi Menuhin ~ Illustration by Patrice

I saw you together connected by an energy
A wave of endless love.

No words needed to convey, to see your love
Bonded together, radiating an energy
Produced by shared love.

Mother, daughter connected forever
By a word, a feeling, a energy
We simply name love.

When Your Heart Is Sore

 Horses on the hill ~ Photo by Patrice

When your heart is sore
Your tears won’t dry
Remember
You’re not alone
We hear your cries.

Remember too
All who we’ve said goodbye
Are with us still
Only running now
Where angels fly.
~ Patrice

– My deepest sympathies to Jan and Doug in their heartbreaking loss.
