On The Other Side, Sliding Down ~ Illustration by Patrice

On the other side, sliding down 

The slippery slope 
Laughing, crying I turn round 
Hope the way is clear 
The path won’t steer me wrong 

On the other side, sliding down.

To Know

July 22, 2024
To Know ~ Illustration by Patrice for Holt, Rinehart and Winston's reader, 'Flights Near And Far'

 Can I see? 

Be what I want to be? 

Know the path to go? 

Can I bypass the treacherous 
Not
What I need to see
To know? 

The answer is mine
To say, to see 
To know. 

For it’s all there
And that’s 
That is what I know.

Angels Come

July 18, 2024
Angels Come ~ Watercolour by Patrice

Angels come
Then they go
To the place we all hope
To know

Saying words quietly
Words so sweet
We are filled with joy 
Ecstasy.

Come listen to their voices
Relish in the words
They show

Let their beauty
Within, through you
Forever flow.

Sentenced To Life

July 17, 2024
Sentenced To Life ~ Illustration by Patrice

Sentenced to life
Sentenced to death
Sentenced to live an existence
Filled with loving hearts
No tragedy, no criticism
No regrets.

Which is yours?
Which sentence will be your verdict?

Your living, your existence
Or
Your death?

Choosing is yours

Choosing
Is
What we do
With
Each heartbeat
Each breath.

You Know I Can’t Tell You

You Know I Can’t Tell You ~ Art by Patrice

You know I can’t tell you 
The secret to your success 

It’s hidden beneath, inside 
Your very own chest 

The secrets will hide 
The truth not told 

Til you accept 

All you’ve been given 
All you behold.

No One Sees

July 4, 2024
No One Sees ~ Illustration by Patrice

No one helps
no one sees the world
exactly
like me. 

Sometimes I’m great
sometimes I’m very sad
and
sometimes
sometimes I know
just what’s needed
not
to go mad.

No

June 17, 2024
No ~ Illustration by Patrice

No
I won’t be hurt
By what you see or do

No
I won’t try to understand
The method used

No
I won’t believe
My dreams can’t come
true

Because
I know I will have
Everything
I need

This
I’m telling you.

I Hear The Engine Roar

June 10, 2024
I Hear The Engine Roar ~ Illustration by Patrice for B.C. Central Credit Union

I hear
the engine roar
the smoke billow
and
fly high
up into the air
high
up to the sky

I see people laughing
cordially
taking steps to be
in the midst
of
everything 

I feel excitement
racing
round the curves
down
the track
in
anticipation
of
who’s to win 

The first
to cross the finish line
the one I know
all
will celebrate and cheer 

The one
who’s
the winner. 

That’s what I do hear.

The Time

May 27, 2024
The Time ~ Watercolour Illustration by Patrice

Take me to the time
Life was great
All
Sublime. 

Let me feel
The warm rays of love
Penetrating
Crises
Soothing heartache
Forever
For all time. 

Show me how
I can give
Just like
In
That wondrous time.

Me

May 8, 2024
Me ~ Watercolour by Patrice

No more
Can I see
What’s ahead, what’s behind
of
Me. 

Only now
Only this moment, this time
that’s 
Me. 

All I have
In the history I know 
Is part
of
Me. 

Every time, everywhere 
I’ve been
just
Me.
