For All I Know

For all I know
It could be not a thing
In a abyss of something.

For all I know
I’m not here.

For all I know
This is a dream
I’ve dreamt before.

But who keeps score
No one
For all I know.

Tender Is The Heart

May 25, 2023
Tender Is The Heart ~ Drawing by Patrice

Tender is the heart
That beats
Coursing love thru all that speak
Never once demanding back
Only loving, loving
And
That is that.

My Heart’s Memories

May 24, 2023
My Heart's Memories ~ Photo by Patrice

My Heart does break
My soul knows
The past has gone
It exists
No more.

Times remembered
Times
From long ago past
Have faded in my memory
But
I thought
They’d last and last.

The land has covered
Over
The lane we used to walk
Trees died
Their stark bodies bent
Cracking in the wind
While bushes have overgrown
Where happiness
Should’ve been.

Surrounded
By empty, barren fields
Flourishing weeds covering in
What used to be
Fertile land growing crops
That
Nurtured creatures
Way back then.

Only memories
Now
Only fading memories
Of what was but not now
Or
Ever again.

I went back after several years, to the place where I grew up.
The place where I had many happy times and wonderful memories.

I was overwhelmed to see what time has done.

I’ll Live

I'll Live ~ Photo by Patrice

I’ll be the best
I can be. 

Nothing
Else matters
Nothing is as important
Important
As
This to me.

Sometimes
I get lost
Sometimes I lose my way
Then a light
A bright light glows
Leading me on my path
My own sweet way.

Words

Classic Car ~ Illustration by Patrice for B.C. Central Credit Union

I go to write
Listening for the words to form
Pictured in my mind they come
They take their form
On the page they rest
Now said, now wrote.

I thank the presence
That brought them to my mind
Formed the thoughts to convey
And then
Without another word
Quietly slipped away.

Know

Know ~ Photo by Patrice

I know, you know
We know

Know what you say?

The truth, the way
That’s what I think, I hope
We know today.

The Knowledge To Succeed

May 17, 2023
The Knowledge To Succeed ~ Photo by Patrice

You have the expertise
The knowledge to succeed
Just follow your heart
The small voice
Speaking.

She will tell you the way to go
The right, the wrong
All things
You think
You don’t know. 

She’s called
An angel
A guardian angel
Living, breathing
Just
To help you.

Listen
And
You’ll hear
All you need
Need to know.

No More

No More ~ Photo by Patrice

No More you say  
No more, no more 

What happened, happened yesterday  
Made you, made me
This way 

No more I pray
Oh how I do pray
No more.

Times Once Been

Times Once Been ~ Photo by Patrice

Gone are the times once been
Memories only
That’s what I know, I’ve seen. 

No more to be
Those moments 
Memories
Those times once been.

I Haven’t Got The Answer

Wolverine Standoff ~ Watercolour by Patrice

I haven’t got the answer
Don’t know what is the fight
But standing, hands on hips
Feet planted on the ground
Ready to fight and stand
Stand my ground.

Fight for
What I know is good
And what I know is right
Guess that’s my answer
Guess that’s my fight.
~ Patrice
