Closing The Door

Closing the door

Opening the lid. 

What hides in there? 

What
does exist?

The Scope

September 22, 2026
The Scope ~ Photo by Patrice

The scope
of
what we’ve done
won’t be
forsaken. 

We will take up
the slack
make strides to do
even better. 

Cause that’s
who we are
who
we’ve been. 

And
those that care
will
support us. 

In
our work
our
lives

Everything.

Coldly

September 16, 2026

Coldly ~ Photo by Patrice

Coldly
I feel
frigid fingers
enclose me
letting no one
nothing
help me. 

Coldly
I sit
in
solitude 
shivering. 

Coldly
I take a step
on
the icy precipice
knowing
my heart may sink
fall
into eternity. 

Yet
I proceed 
all alone
coldly.

No Can Say

September 15, 2026
Last used Sept. 15/26

No can say
what’s happening
today. 

No one
but then
that’s okay
cause
what would we do
if we knew
the unfolding
for 
this coming day? 

I suspect we’d gasp
run away
trying to hide
from
what’s being described. 

But 
we should know
it’s never
all bad. 

There in
the tearing brambles
is
sweet nectar and flowers
to keep us content
all day. 

So yes
no one can say
what’s happening
today. 

And
I personally
think
it’s better that way.

Weak And Feeling Strong

Weak And Feeling Strong ~ Photo by Patrice

Weak
and
feeling strong. 

Not much
can I do
that could be
wrong. 

Let me be
the one I need
the one that’s
me
the one so strong. 

No matter
if
sometimes
it seems wrong
so wrong.

The Stakes Are High

The Stakes Are High ~ Photo by Patrice

The stakes are high
the way
curved
follow the one
already
proved. 

No one
will blame you 
No one will
criticize. 

Be patient
it will come
it will be
like
a blessing. 

The end
the final outcome.

You Left Me

September 8, 2026
You Left Me ~ Photo by Patrice

You left me
feeling
not so good
your sarcasm
I never
understood. 

Your sharp, cutting lies
made me
feel
I should not be
alive. 

Your smile
was
wicked
it made me cry. 

I pretended
I too
I
lied. 

To see you go
was
a relief
no more anger
accusations
no more
grief. 

May you find
happiness
somewhere else
all
by yourself. 

And 
please
please stay there
so far away
from
me.

My Heart Does Weep

My heart does
weep 
my eyes too
weep
all the world knows
the way. 

The way it goes. 

Nothing I can do
nothing
I can say
for it is happening
as
was decreed. 

Yesterday.

My Heart Aches

Looking Down ~ Photo by Patrice

My heart aches
my soul
cries. 

Nowhere do I know
the road
to
take. 

The life to abide.
