Holding On And Holding Fast

Holding On And Holding Fast ~ Photo by Patrice

Holding on and holding fast 
Not letting go. 

Til the earth is beneath my feet 
The sand whispering in my ear 
And wind blowing too and fro. 

Then
And only then
Will I let go.

You Haven’t Been

March 27, 2025
You Haven't Been ~ illustration by Patrice

You haven’t been
the one I need 

You haven’t been
all I crave 

You haven’t been 

But still
still
you are the one
I need, I love 

I know will be
the one
to carry me 

You’ll be
all I seek, all I need
this I know
you’ll be.

A Tear Drops

A Tear Drops ~ Photo by Patrice

A tear drops
falls
to
a forgiving ground 

No one sees
that
teardrop fall 

No one
no one, not at all.

Holding My Heart

March 25, 2025
Holding My Heart ~ Illustration by Patrice

You’re holding
my heart, my soul 

Please
never let go 

For I’ll be adrift
in
a sea of heartache, misery
seeing no light
no sanctity 

This I know, I see 

So I’m sending you 
my love
for all
that you’ve done
done
just for me.

I Don't Have ~ Illustration by Patrice for B.C. Central Credit Union

I don’t have
all the answers
but
I am grateful
I do
have some.

Thinking Of Things ~ Photo by Patrice

Thinking of things 
I need
and
want to do 

Places
to go 

Jobs
to do 

Make
videos 

Cleaning
too 

Thinking 
Thinking of things
to do.

You Can Hear Me Calling

March 20, 2025
You Can Hear Me Calling - Photo by Patrice

You can hear me
calling
you can see my face
you know
my tears are falling
yet
you give me
no
choice

My life is shattered
my heart
broken in two
my lips move in motion
still saying

I love you.

Let Me

March 19, 2025
Let Me ~ Watercolour Painting by Patrice

Let me
go 

Let me be
in
the midst of everything
made of beauty. 

Let me not
see
anguish nor tragedy. 

Let me not hear
the thunder of war
all that agony. 

Let me

Let me please
be
happy.

The Gentle Soul

March 18, 2025
The Gentle Soul ~ Illustration by Patrice

The gentle soul
who resides inside of me
takes care
to be
kind, pleasing to all
that
she perceives
to
need her care, her comfort
all the things
that
help someone thrive
and
be
the best they can 

That’s what
the gentle soul
inside
of me
she strives
to be.

My Heart Aches

March 14, 2025

Patrice’s Art & Poetry Blog

My Heart Aches ~ Photo from the Past

My heart aches
my soul cries 
for a time
of clear innocence 
a time that time
has taken 
to the past 

No more to feel 
to bask
in rays of light
hearted laughs 

Sadness overwhelms 
hurt
seems to last 
til no more tears left 
to sob
crying for the now
distance past. 
~ Patrice
