Going Forward, Going Forth

May 28, 2018

Safe and Strong ~ Illustration by Patrice

Going forward, going forth
Into the distance
Going with the force.

No one is left behind
No one is forgotten
All are with us now.

All will be in heaven
None forsaken
None overlooked or not taken.

Picky Partners

May 17, 2018

Mal pups ~ Illustration by PatricePicky partners don’t always last
Sometimes they bicker and fight
It goes on and on
For whatever reason it just
Lasts and lasts.

Picky partners need to let up
Knowing being together
Happily
Is what needs to
Forever last.

Wondering 

Once again. 

Wondering 

What is best? 

Wondering 

If I’ll make the right decision. 

Wondering 

Will it affect the rest? 

Wondering 

What will come to be? 

Wondering 

What will happen to me? 

– No answers come but still –

Still I’m wondering. 

Wondering 

Just the same.

A Little Mess Was Made

May 2, 2018

A little mess was made
And yet the consequences
Were not staged

They came in rolling waves
Bringing pain
Then peace

Breaking on the cheek
Grinding all the way
To aching, hurtful feet

Not sure what to do
Comfort, scold or
let be, let do

The consequences
When
A little mess is made.

Understand, Don’t Understand

Chickens and Eggs ~ Illustration by Patrice for the Educational Publisher, Ginn and Company

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Understand, don’t understand
How the world turns round
Can’t conceive, see the concept
Of what will come to be.

All fits together, all is a mess
Nothing left undone
All’s well and is what
Is the outcome.

I’m Going To Be

Pen & Ink Illustration of Yehudi Menuhin by Patrice

I’m going to be here
And over there.

I’m going to be full of brilliance
Nothing more.

I’m going to be forever
Evermore.

I Don’t know The Answer

April 4, 2018

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

 

 

 

I don’t know the answer
Even as the question
Isn’t asked.

The flow knows the answer
It leaves it on a bed
Of relevance
Fearing nothing
Only feeling dread.

I don’t know the answer
But not to say the answer
Isn’t in my head.

The One

March 27, 2018

Safe and Strong ~ Illustration by Patrice for Ginn and Company's math book, 'Starting Points in Mathematics'

I march ahead
Leaving no trace, no dread.

Heading to an unknown grace
To a place I can be the one.

 The only one who loves this person
The one I will become.

Inside The Heart, Within The Soul

March 26, 2018

Study of hands and paint brushes ~ Illustration by Patrice for New Chalice Brushes

Going deep inside the heart
Within the soul
Feeling things I didn’t see
I didn’t know.

Crying words that have
Such knowledge
Words I need
And didn’t know I knew
Or would now know.

Breathe life lived
Deep inside the heart
Created within the soul.
