With All That Happens

August 29, 2024
With All That Happens ~ Photo by Patrice

With all that happens
the sky stays blue
the earth
a golden brown
leaves of trees
wave
in the wind
and

I begin to live
all over
once again.

Let Me Be

August 28, 2024
Let Me Be ~ Watercolour Illustration by Patrice

Let me be
Not so angry
Full of fury 

Let me be
Kind and generous
Only
Full of courtesy 

That’s what I need
Please
Let me be.

Lonely And All Alone

Lonely And All Alone ~ Photo by Patrice

Lonely and all alone
I stand at the entrance
wondering
wondering should I go in
or
stay here

Lonely and all alone.

The Rain Hides My Tears ~ Photo by Patrice

The rain hides my tears
The sun soothes my fears
My heart knows
This too shall pass
But
In the meantime
It lasts, it lasts.

Let Me Be

Let me, let me be
at peace
quiet, silent
not asking anything

Let me, let me be
happy and carefree

Let me be.

Joy Will Come

Joy Will Come ~ Photo by Patrice

Joy will come
happiness will be
then I’ll see
all the world wants me
to be.

No one left behind
no one crying
for we are all together
now and forever
til the end of eternity.

Everything

August 19, 2024
Everything ~ Photographer unknown

Holy matrimony
Does not mean pure bliss
All you’d hope it be 
Everything.

For there are times, there are places
No married person wants to
Experience
Times that seem they never end 
Everything.

But the love you feel 
The happiness, the laughter
All the intimate times
Are what will carry you thru
Everything.

The Water Weeps

The Water Weeps ~ Photo by Patrice

The water weeps to the ground 
Soaking all 
Saturating a thirsty ground. 

Flowers dance between 
The raindrops moist 
Blooming, sacrificing all 
It is their choice. 

Clouds thunder 
Marching across the sky 
No time for plunder 
For something in the distance 
Has caught their eye. 

Now I stand amidst this 
I’m part of this 
The earth, the wind, the sky 
All this happening round 
I feel it, feel so profound.

Not Sure

August 13, 2024
Not Sure ~ Photo by Patrice

Not sure why
Anything is. 

Not sure how
The earth came to be
Nor if it’s existed
More than an eternity. 

Not sure why
My heart does pound
When I feel your presence
Next to mine. 

Not sure I’ll be here
Laughing, crying with my family
Til the sun sets
On all humanity. 

Not sure
Not sure I want to be.

Quietly I Said

August 12, 2024
Quietly I Said ~ Watercolour by Patrice

Quietly I said those words
I know you dread.

The ones  
that show you
for what you really are.

Quietly I said
quietly with no malice
no anger or dread.

I wish you too
could hear my words.

And  quietly 
quietly change the way
you say the words
to be said.
