Hope you’re right
Hope not left in the heart of distress.

Maybe tomorrow
I can be laughing in the midst of endless.

Holding Close

Wood Violets ~ Photo by Patrice

Holding close
being in the beauty of it
all.

Losing nothing, saying less
cause we are part of the picture
overall.

In The Distant Past

May 26, 2020

Arbua Chairs ~ Photo by Patrice

I have lived before
I have lived a life

In the distant past

Good or bad I had
A life before memories
Faded

In the distant past

They didn’t last
As new ones evolved
Different but built on
That life lived

In the distant past.

Somewhere Along The Way

Somewhere along the way
My heart bled and sadness, sorrow
Washed away.

Somewhere along the way
I don’t know where or will I stay
Near or far, far away.

Somewhere along the way
My heart bled and washed
All thoughts of you away.

Somewhere
Somewhere along the way.

I Know You Couldn’t Possibly Hear Me

May 21, 2020

Cotten Tail ~ Photo by Patrice

I know you couldn’t possibly
Hear me
I know I’m in this alone
But still I feel the road
Isn’t travelled by me
All alone.

Presence, shadows hover
Near and above
Whispers in silence
Make my heart beat
As I pray for help
From those I have loved.

Now is not the time to cry
For I’ve been given
A chance
To move forward
move ahead.

Trusting in
What I know is there
Not seen
Just
Only in my head.

A Million Miles Away

May 20, 2020

Sun Flower ~ Photo by Patrice

A million miles away
The sun shines
No matter
The time of day.

My heart must bring
That sun from far
To my day, my walk
My way.

Holding close all
That’s good
All I need to make
It thru today.

From a million miles away
The sun shines
Shines on me
As I’m on my way.

I Have To Hear The Singing

May 12, 2020

Wood Smiles and Sad ~ Photo by Patrice

I have to hear the singing of the song
To believe
To move forward
Not look back nor doubt
Where the words come from.

That’s the only job that’s mine
Must breathe the words
Embrace the rhyme
Never forgetting they’ve come to me
At just the perfect time.

I Am Here

I am here and you can’t see me
I’m hiding
Hiding in normalcy

What If

May 6, 2020

Perplexed Deer  ~ Photo by Patrice

Feeling the weight
The pain of
What if

No eye dry as I wonder

What if
I’d done things different
Smiled instead of cried

No answers
Just more questions and insistent
What if’s.

Shinning Sun In The Sky

May 5, 2020

Palm Tree in Blue Sky ~ Photo by Patrice

Shining sun in the sky
Questions answered
Reasons why
The world is well
Giving all she can
No one cries
Tears of rain
Only ones that fall
Nourishing land
Creatures big and small.

I will live in this life
Feeling the sun’s warmth
Now
And into my afterlife.
~ Patrice
