Stories
of
heartache

Stories
of
home

Sometimes they linger
just so
we don’t feel

All
alone.

Let Me Be

June 9, 2025
Let Me Be ~ Video by Patrice

Let me be

Let me find the solace
I need
to
live life
comfortably 

Let me be alone
with my thoughts
to
discover
where they want
to go 

Let me feel
my heart
beat
in rhythm
with
the rhyme of life 

Let me be
only
the one I want
to be 

Let me

Let me be.

A Home Is A Home

A Home Is A Home ~ Photo by Patrice

A home is a home 
no matter the width, the size 
treasured forever 
lived in from birth 
to the time you die. 

Feel the gentle breathing 
of timbers and frame 
holding strong
in winter winds, torrential rains. 

All are welcomed 
with love, no despair 
come 
step into this home. 

There you’ll share 
laughs, great food 
and
a glass of sweet cheer.

I’ve Heard You Cry

May 29, 2025
I've Heard You Cry ~ Painting by Patrice

I’ve heard you
cry
I’ve seen you
laugh
unfortunately 
maybe someday
I’ll see you
die 

But
in between
we’ll live life
as best we can 
we’ll give
we’ll really live
and be
content with this
our only life
we’ll have
till the end.

You Call Me

May 28, 2025
You Call Me ~ Photo by Patrice

You call me
I hear
your name on my breath
oh such
a sweet refrain! 

Tomorrow may I hear
again
your soft voice
telling me
how much love
you have 

How we will always
be loving
now
forever
and
then
once again.

I Awake

I Awake ~ Photo by Patrice

I awake
then I see
all the beauty
within
and
surrounding me

No stone is unturned
no soul
left behind

For we are
all here together
now
and
for all time.

Time To Rejoice

Time To Rejoice ~ Photo by Patrice

It is time
to rejoice, cheer
and
be in rhyme
with all the world
regardless
whether a tree, a river 
a squirrel
or
a person so sublime.

Seen

Seen ~ Photo by Patrice

I haven’t seen
what
you have seen

I haven’t been
what
you have been

But

Here we are
both of us together
forever
it appears, it seems

What more do we want
what
more do we need?

Trusting

May 15, 2025
Trusting ~ Watercolour Art by Patrice

Trusting in the Lord
trusting in me
let the things that happen
let them be 

Tomorrow is another day
tomorrow will be
what the Lord wants
what I surely need.

You Heard Me

May 14, 2025
You Heard Me ~ Watercolour Art by Patrice

You heard me
I know you heard me
but
didn’t say a thing
to save my day 
my life 

Your eyes didn’t smile
nor
did you take me
in your arms
telling me, saying words
to stop the tears
the cries 

You walked away
your back to me
like
you didn’t hear 
hear me cry 

But 

I know you heard me
I know 
you heard me cry.
