Stranger than fiction 
Stronger than life 
Accepting all visions 
Making no fight. 

Believing in heaven 
The devil and hell 
Make no correction 
It’ll turn out so well.

I Hold You Close

I Hold You Close ~ Photo by us

I hold you 
close 
I hold you tight 
we are together 
thru 
the long 
dark night 

In the morning 
when the sun shines bright 
we’ll walk together 
no fear 
no fright.

You Can Hear Me

 You Can Hear Me ~ Photo by Patrice

You can hear me
call
you can see me
cry 

Yet
no where
do I see you come
to
me 

Help me
thru
this that keeps me
trapped 

No, not that I’m aware 

I hope tomorrow
or
the day after that
I will feel
your embrace 

Know that you
indeed
do
care.

I Have To Seek

I Have To Seek ~ Photo by Patrice

I have to seek
I have to find
the answers in this mess
make it 

Divine 

I reach out
I ask
they look back at me 
they don’t answer
blank
is
all I see 

I must seek 
I must find 
all
the answers 
to make my world
a place
of
peace 

So
Divine.

My heart
Shines

A smile comes 
Spreads
Across my face 

The sun beams
Bright
and
Victorious 

The clouds
have
Cleared 

All
is
Right 

I will
Persevere 

I will 
Succeed 

I will be
Victorious 

Today 
Tonight!

I See The Anger

July 15, 2025
I See The Anger ~ Illustration by Patrice

I see the anger
the fury 

Why do I let
this
envelope me? 

Struggle to be free
to be
happy 

Yet all I see
is
sadness, madness 

Scaring me.

Courtesy Of Courtesy

Courtesy Of Courtesy ~ Illustration by Patrice

Courtesy of courtesy 
is
the one
that transforms me 

Sadness
won’t do it 

Anger
not
if you please 

Courtesy of courtesy
makes my life
a
breeze.

They Thought I Was Crazy

They Thought I Was Crazy ~ Photo by Patrice

They thought
I was crazy 
they thought I was nuts 
I heard laughter, jeering
silence
smirks that did suck. 

From there I went forward 
farther than most 
believing in my worth 
holding tight to that dream
I brought to fruition 
this life
I hold close.

Close The Door

Close the door
let it be
no need to be
sad
nor
hungry. 

For the knowledge
left behind
you already know
it was good
in it’s
own time. 

Let it be
let it go
tomorrow’s another day
it will give you
all you need
to
know.

Your Kindness Seeps Through

July 9, 2025
Your Kindness Seeps Through ~ Photo by Jennifer Clark

Your kindness seeps 
through
all the cracks
making life
maybe
just a little less exact 

We see
not only your kindness
but
your generosity 
too 

What a person you’ve become
to know you
is to feel the other side
of
hurt and anger 

Love, sweetness
they are the only ones
that
help a simple soul
like me 
see
happiness
and
overcome.
