Remembering When

May 18, 2016

Remembering when
Flowers swooned and turtles ran
Remembering when
Remembering when.

My Heart Softly Waits

May 16, 2016

Siegrun and her beloved dogs ~ Painting by Patrice

My heart softly waits
To make the connection
To the world of love
Not hate.

My heart
She softly waits.

I only write what I see
It’s not about me
It’s not about me.

Don’t Know Where I Am

May 6, 2016

Patrice's avatarPatrice’s Art & Poetry Blog

Don’t know where I am
Nor where I’m going to be
Can’t see down the road
Or far off cross the sea.

For I am.
I am what I see
Nothing ever changes
Here, within side of me.

Don’t know where I’m going
Never knew where I’ve been
But here now in the present
Is a charming human being.

You Are Full Of Majesty

April 26, 2016

Sharon's Kitty ~ Painting by Patrice

You are full of majesty
Fulfilling all your destiny
Taking nothing for granted
Softly treading
On this world’s planet
A sweet smile across your face
Nothing of you is not
Full of graceful grace
Majesty is seen
Even in your careful pace.

My Heart Writes

April 13, 2016

Misty ~ Patrice's Watercolour Art

My heart writes another story
Storing it in the middle of eternity
Not to be beholden to anybody
Just out there living, living the story.

Searching For Something New

April 6, 2016

Karen's Love ~ Watercolour Commission by Patrice

Searching for something new
Searching amongst
The breathe of that
That I once knew.

Grasping, holding close
Memories I loved
See them fall away
Replacing now all that yesterday.

Searching for
New memories untold
Searching for a new life
A new mould.

Searching, searching
But no one knows
Nor will they let it be
As of yet, let it be told.

Tenderness Is

April 1, 2016

Patrice's avatarPatrice’s Art & Poetry Blog

Tenderness is such a wondrous thing
It brings us close and it brings us things
Best of all it brings us love.
Tenderness is a wondrous thing.

I Didn’t Know, I Don’t Know

March 29, 2016

Watercolour Art  by Patrice

I didn’t know, I don’t know
How it would go

Could I reframe
From
Laughing, smiling or crying

Hold it close
Or
Let it go

Take a step to the left or
Move
Back to the right

Turn
Go anywhere
But does it seem right

Cause
I didn’t know, I don’t know.

When I Think About It

March 2, 2016

Jackal ~ Illustration by Patrice for Holt, Rinehart and Winston's reader, 'Flights Near And Far'

When I think about it
I can’t stay
In the realm of
Yesterday.

Move away, move away
From the thoughts, the times
Lived yesterday
Yesterday.
~ Patrice
