I Am Not Here

December 23, 2014

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

I am not here, I am over there
I am everywhere in my mind.

My soul holds it all together
Here, there and everywhere.

Sitting Down

December 22, 2014

Convict Cartoon ~ Illustration by Patrice

 

 

 

Sitting down
To think of something
Intelligently bright and just right
For the discussion I’m having
With myself tonight.

Christmas Comes But Once A Year

December 19, 2014

Patrice's avatarPatrice’s Art & Poetry Blog

Christmas comes but once a year
As does Easter and New Years
Celebrate, have some cake
Eat the treat Christmas makes.

Travel round
See the smile on the child
That believes in Santa Claus.

Feel the joy
Feel the cheer
Wrap a present for someone dear.

Christmas comes but once a year
So we should raise a glass
Of hearty cheer
And bless this day throughout the year!

Sacrifice Needs Not To Be

December 17, 2014

Golden Eagle ~ Illustration by Patrice

Sacrifice needs not to be
Nor neither give in
No
This is not your destiny.

Abuse no one in your passage
Just
Proud, strong and kind
These are what is needed
In all of human kind.

Why Not Understand

November 5, 2014

3 Rotties ~ Illustration by Patrice

Why not try to understand
All the confusion swirling round
Like a crazy marching band.

Don’t know where, don’t know why
But somehow I need to cry
Release the hurt, set free the sigh.

Move beyond the crazies
Then maybe, maybe
Understand the reason why.

So Much Has Changed

August 20, 2014

Golden Eagle ~ illustration by Patrice

So much has changed
The world is not, not the same.

Death, anger, disarray

Where do I belong in this change
Playing out on what seems a sunny day.

Temporary, That’s What They Say

August 18, 2014

Beardie in a Pot ~ Illustration by Patrice

Temporary, that’s what they say
Lasting longer, not happening
No way, no way.

Savour while it lasts
Then go about
Go about your day.

Knowing the best has come
Has visited you
Visited you and stayed.

Just a little while
A little while
Today.

Combine All You Got

July 31, 2014

 

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

Combine all you got
Leave no room regretting not
Challenge the atmosphere
Just to hear the echo flowing back
Full of goodness none deny.

Then add it up
Trust it’s the sum of what you’ve got.

When The Time Is Right

July 30, 2014

Tiger ~ illustration by Patrice

When the time is right and my heart is not cold
When I see things clear from stories told
When madness isn’t a partner in that yet to unfold
When I can stroll thru sadness unscathed and bold.

Then is when my journeys mine
And I’ll hold no grief for that which is not or won’t be kind.
