Here in the bright sunlight my presence glows.
Be aware that we’re all one of a kind and all we need to exist. ~ Patrice

Tender Mercies Envelop Me

August 6, 2015

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

Tender mercies envelop me
Hold me still, holding me.

The solace I need
Comforting, showing me.

Suffice to say I feel comforted
Safe, in the arms of mercy.

My Heart, My Soul

July 30, 2015

Elephant ~ Illustration by Patrice

My heart, my soul know the one
Changing it will not let it be undone
Feel it’s gentle touch like jasmine on the breeze
A sweet smell wafting through the air
Never letting me not be at ease
While
Without a care my soul will pull love up
Changing none as my heart becomes
Becomes that one.

When The World Is Laughing

July 22, 2015

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

When the world is laughing
And things are profound
Stand on their steps
Then lightly step down.

No holes will be barred
No one will curse or swear
Just jovial laughing
Not one bit of despair.

Hear the world laughing
Join the chorus of delight
Smile with pleasure
Let heartache take a hike.

Let The World Go

May 7, 2015

Let the world go
Nothing more to be said
No regret, no should have or dread
Nothing more to be said
Let it go, let it go instead.

Yeah, Yeah

March 25, 2015

Yeah, yeah
Is what I say
To everything today.

Sordid, angry, no patience, no way
Yeah, yeah I’ll be better tomorrow
Or maybe the next day.

See no joy, no harm in any way
Just down
It’s a yeah, yeah kind of day.

Blessed I guess, cause I can have
A Yeah, yeah day and no trouble
Consequences come my way.

Must find goodness, find a way
To see happiness
In a yeah, yeah type of day.

Days Move Forward

March 24, 2015

Vancouver Game Farm Giraffe ~ Illustration by Patrice

Days move forward
Gone one by one
Packed with something
But neither overrun
With sadness, happiness
Or blissful dreams
Days move forward
Inspite of all these things.

What you see
May be what you dreamed
Or what you saw
In an unhealthy scene
Don’t deny that it has been
For you can only move pass
When you know it’s been
As days move forward
In the scheme of things.
