Holding On And Very Still

Holding On And Very Still ~ Photo by Patrice

Holding on and very still 
breathe light 
heart softly beating 
and
I will be careful
to
leave the earth 
a better place
because
of
me 

I promise, I will.

I Must Accept

June 13, 2024
I Must Accept ~ Watercolour by Patrice

This is when
I must
Accept those
Giving
Unconditional love 

And
Anyone
That only means harm
Let them go away 

To find
How
They can change
Their hurt
Into loving others 

Each
And
Every day.

Heaven Help Me

Heaven Help Me ~ Photo by Patrice

Heaven help me
Let me be free
Of
All controversy

Let not
The powers that be
Feed me
Hate, anger 
More
Controversy

Instead let me see
The love, the beauty
And
All that heaven
Has
Gives to me.

I Hear The Engine Roar

June 10, 2024
I Hear The Engine Roar ~ Illustration by Patrice for B.C. Central Credit Union

I hear
the engine roar
the smoke billow
and
fly high
up into the air
high
up to the sky

I see people laughing
cordially
taking steps to be
in the midst
of
everything 

I feel excitement
racing
round the curves
down
the track
in
anticipation
of
who’s to win 

The first
to cross the finish line
the one I know
all
will celebrate and cheer 

The one
who’s
the winner. 

That’s what I do hear.

All Across The Land

All Across The Land ~ Photo by Patrice

The sun rises 
Shines 
All across the land 

The ground wakes 
Sighing a gentle sigh 
All across the land 

Birds fly, coyotes call 
Leaves sway in unison 
All across the land 

Contentment is ours 
To enjoy 
All across the land.

Me

June 6, 2024
Me ~ Photo by Patrice

I have heard your voice
calling me
I’ve known always
that
you stayed by me
protected
me. 

I know
when I’m gone
you’ll have taken the journey
with me 
guided me
consoled
me. 

Made me know
I’m not alone
for
you’ll always be
here
right beside  
of
me.

All Alone

June 5, 2024
Last used June 5/24

Lonely can I be
Wondering
Where everyone could have gone
Leaving me  

All alone 

Lonely can be
Heartbreak 
Broken heart sobbing
Into silence 

All alone 

Waiting
For a saviour to bring love
Togetherness 
To sip the sweet nectar
Of belonging
Not
Not 

All alone.

More ~ Photo by Patrice

When I hear
Your heart beat
I want more

More time to love you
More laughs
And
So much more 

Don’t go away
Don’t be gone
Forever

Stay with me
Stay
Here forever
Forever more.

No More

No More ~ Photo by Patrice

No more can I say
Love
Will triumph today
No more 

No more will I do
The things that make
You love me too
No more 

No more can I be
The one
You want me to be
No more 

No more  will I stand 
Close by loving thee
No more 
No more.

Feeling Peaceful

Feeling Peaceful ~ Photo by Patrice

Feeling peaceful 
Feeling calm
The sun
Has come up
It has shone
Lighting all the world
Showing the way
To
Happiness, joy
Everything needed
To complete
This
One and only day.
