Closing out
closing
down 

Everything
is
at
peace 

As
we watch
the sun
go
down.

You

You ~ Photo by Patrice

 You have me
you
hold and care for me
I live to be
close
near to you 

You are my everything
you
make me whole
you make me come
alive 

I can’t see a world
a time
without you
by
my side.

Heaven Helps

Heaven Helps ~ Photo by Patrice

Heaven helps
heaven waits to save 
comfort when you fall
when your heart sinks
and no one comes
even if you ask, you cry
you call. 

Heaven stands strong
stands tall
reaching down, lifting up
saving you, giving
asking nothing back
nothing at all.

Let Me Feel

August 28, 2025
Let Me Feel ~ Photo by Captain of the Boat

Let me feel
the sadness go
like
raindrops melting
into snow 

Let me feel my heart
beat
not too fast
not
too slow 

Let me know
in this world
that
brings me
sadness, heartache
caresses me
also 
with gentle kindness
and 
enduring love.

Regrets In My Life

August 26, 2025
Regrets In My Life ~ Photo by Patrice

There have been
regrets
in
my life
things
I’d rather
not
dwell on 

Live twice 

To find
joy
in those times
is
hard to accept 
hard
to find 

This is why
I acknowledge
they
happened
maybe cry
then
let them go 

But did they
help me change
help me
grow? 

You know
I just don’t
know.

When I Hear Your Heart Beat ~ Watercolour Art by Patrice

When I hear your heart beat 
I know you are near 
embracing
me 
comforting
 supporting
me 

When I hear your heart beat.

Let Me See

Let Me See. ~ Photo by Patrice

Let me see
what
could be 

Let me see
what
was 

In
between
I live 

Being
the best
I can 

Living, giving
all
my love.

You Hear Me Call

August 19, 2025
You Hear Me Call

You hear me
call
you see me be
but yet
together
we’ll never
be 

Our heart’s love
won’t last
hands will shake
forsake
all that
could have been
but
didn’t last 

Please hear 
in
your heart
my voice saying
Adieu
we must
go
our separate ways
be
forever
forever apart.

Hold Them Close ~ Watercolour Painting by Patrice

Hold them close 
and 
very tight 

Feel your breath
breathe love
in the morning light 

Let no soul travel 
the path taken 
all alone 

No, never 
never alone. 
~ Patrice

How Can You See

How Can You See ~ Photo by Patrice

How can you
see
what’s near
dear
to me? 

Standing
way off
talking to someone
that’s not
me 

How can you
how can you
see?
