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

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.

The Time

May 27, 2024
The Time ~ Watercolour Illustration by Patrice

Take me to the time
Life was great
All
Sublime. 

Let me feel
The warm rays of love
Penetrating
Crises
Soothing heartache
Forever
For all time. 

Show me how
I can give
Just like
In
That wondrous time.

In The Distant Past

In The Distant Past ~ Photo by Patrice

I have lived before 
I have lived a life 

In the distant past 

Good or bad I had 
A life before memories 
Faded 

In the distant past 

They didn’t last 
As new ones evolved 
Different but built on 
That life lived 

In the distant past.

Protect Me

May 23, 2024
Protect me ~ Photo by Leslie Greenson

Protect me
From
Myself and others
Who think
They know me
Don’t let them
Be
So condescending
Trying
To control me. 

Protect me
From
My disparaging thoughts 
My history
Let me
Be
A better person
A happy 
Pleasant person 

With you
Protecting
Me.
