True To Myself

September 12, 2023
True To Myself ~ Photo by Patrice

No I haven’t
No I haven’t been
True to myself
True to the nature of all living beings

I must in the future
Now and forever be
True to myself
And then, only then
Will I be true to everything

You Joke With Me

You Joke With Me ~ Photo by Patrice

You joke with me
We laugh till we cry
Life is good
The sun shines bright
In a blue, blue sky

Troubles do unfold
But don’t make us sad
Make us cry
For we have one another
We are strong

We will survive.

Life Goes On

September 7, 2023
Life Goes On ~ Photo by Patrice

Life goes on
through good and bad
life gives
sadness and then
it uplifts
it makes us glad. 

Be strong, be kind
generous 
full of love for all beasts, fowl 
the giving earth
and
the deep blue sky. 

But
most of all
to
all mankind.

No Lie

September 6, 2023
No Lie ~ Illustration by Patrice

Nobody calls
No one  is here with me
That is what it is
No lie. 

Deep down inside
I feel the heartache subside
No tears, no cries
Only the smile on my face
Lies. 

To the world I’m okay
I feel loved
I feel treasured
But
I lie.  

Inside
Inside I know
Know it is
Is a lie.

Tenderly

September 5, 2023
Tenderly ~ Watercolour Painting by Patrice

Tenderly

I hold my hand
intwined in yours

Tenderly

I sigh and look beyond
the ground beneath my feet
to the distance, cerulean sky

Tenderly

I know mine is yours
mine to love
yours to be behold

Tenderly

As we go together
through
our separate lives. 

Tenderly

Standing on the precipice
Going forward 
Then 
Looking back to see
All those who stand
Stand with me.

Heaven Lives

Heaven Lives ~ Photo by Patrice

Heaven lives
Inside of me
Part of you
All of what we see

Heaven is
Whatever you need it
To be
There around embracing you
Embracing me.

Heaven gives
To those that need
It’s strength, It’s love
Everything. 

Let Heaven go
Let it be
Throughout our world
Loving you, loving me.

Wether We Do Or We Don’t

Wether We Do Or We Don't ~ Photo by Patrice

Wether we do
or
We don’t

Whether we stay
or
Don’t

Makes no difference
in
The universe 

So to speak 

But in our lives
It means everything
Everything.

Seeking Answers

August 23, 2023
Seeking Answers ~ Photo by Patrice

Seeking answers
Trying to find
My way through
The sadness
I feel here in my mind.

Rain cries tears
From
My mournful eyes
My lips form words 
I hope won’t make me cry.  

And my feet
My feet run
As fast as they can
From the hurt, anger
I know, I feel
I have.

The only thing left
Is for me to abide 
Hopefully tomorrow
The sun will shine
And
The only blue
will be in the skies.
