I Creep I Crawl I Cry

I Creep I Crawl I Cry ~ Photo by Patrice

I creep, I crawl
I cry 

No idea
what I need
I feel
so wrong
so bad 

Will I die? 

Words
I hear 
words I say 

Are they real
or
a dream
I had yesterday?

Let The Bird

February 24, 2026
Let The Bird ~ Video by Patrice

Let the bird
sing
calling out
to all creatures, things. 

Let the bird
cry
telling the world
he’s here
he’s alive. 

Let the bird
be all
that heaven
meant him to be. 

Let him sing
hear
his call 
his melodies.

They Ache, They Cry

They Ache, They Cry ~ Photo by Patrice

My heart, my soul
they ache
they cry 

Please tell me why
for 
I don’t know 

I don’t know
why
they ache, they cry.

Cautiously

January 29, 2026
Cautiously ~ Video by Patrice

Cautiously
I move forward 

Cautiously 

Make no mistake
take each step with purpose 

Cautiously 

Let the beginning
be the end

The last step the first 

Then
and
only then 

Will you understand
the universe 

Cautiously.

Strong

Feeling weak
not
strong 

Wondering
whatever
could be wrong? 

Let this day
move
forward 

And
once again
let me feel my strength 

Be
strong.

The Howl Of The Monkey

The Howl Of The Monkey ~ Photo by Patrice

The howl
of
the monkey
may
tell me
the things I need
to know 

I must listen
quietly
hear those words
that will bestow
answers
to 
questions asked 

It will be
all
all I need
need to know.

Very Hard

Very Hard ~ Photo by Patrice

It doesn’t come easy
it’s
very hard 

Keeping my mouth quiet
taking care
not to say anything
hurtful
demeaning
not 
too hard 

This is my quandary
this is
my mission
no matter my apprehension 

But
still
still it’s very
very hard.

No More To See

No More To See ~ Photo by Patrice

No more to see
no more
to do
everything done
and now
now it’s up to you 

Can you do it? 

Can you be the best 
the world knows
the best you want to be? 

Yes, you’ll be
all
that you want to
all the world needs 
everything you asked for
everything
you want to be.

Let Me Hear

Let Me Hear ~ Photo by Patrice

Let me hear
the world sing 
hear
bells chime
the wind
wail
knowing
that everything
breathes and lives
in the goodness
of
nature’s love 

For all time.

Last Year

December 31, 2025
Last Year ~ Photo by Patrice

Saying goodbye
to what will soon be
last year 

To the ones we lost
no more with us
in this
the coming year 

To the memories
we made
the laughs we got
we gave 

May we remember
the good times
not
the bad 

May we move forward
in
love and grace
giving all
to make the world
a better place 

Than
in 
this last year
we lived
we had.
