The Course

December 4, 2025
The Cours ~ Photo by Patrice

The course 
is level 

The ground
even 

Some move faster
better
than others 

Can you tell me 

What
is
the reason?

Tomorrow

Tomorrow ~ Photo by Patrice

Take me thru
to
tomorrow
let me hear
words
not filled
with
deep sorrow 

See creatures
all
big or small
living life
beside of us
no anger
harmony that’s
all 

Take me
to
this tomorrow
let me lie
in
kindness, happiness
all day
every hour 
well beyond
that
tomorrow.

You Haven’t Been

You Haven't Been ~ Photo by Patrice

I know
you haven’t been
all
I want you to be 

But 

 Have I been
all
you need
all you seek? 

Likely not I feel
I see
I think.

Constantly In The Morning

Constantly In The Morning ~ Photo by Patrice

Constantly
in
the morning 

Totally
all 
the day 

I’ll move forward
singing praises
for
those
that made
it
this way.

Can I Be

Can I Be ~ Photo by Patrice

Can I be
the one you love 

Can I be? 

Your heart is open
full of kindness
expressing gentleness
it seems 

But is it for me? 

Can I be
the love you love
for
all eternity? 

Can I be? 

I hope so
for
I love you
all so much
you see.

Look Back Friday

November 14, 2025

On Fridays, I usually look back two years and revisit something I wrote during this same month. I call it ‘Look Back Friday’ 
Today, the piece I want to share is a poem I originally wrote for Remembrance Day in November 2018, and first brought back again in 2022. Now, I feel compelled to bring it forward once more and share it with you. . .

I Heard The Wild Goose Call

I Heard The Wild Goose Call ~ Photo by Patrice

I heard the wild goose call 
I heard her plaintive tone. 

I bowed my head in honour 
Of all those left 
Left alone. 

On the field of war and anger 
In the battle 
No one wins alone. 

I heard the wild goose call 
Come 
Come bring your brave soldiers home.

We Remember

We Remember ~ Photo by Patrice

We remember
we don’t
forget
all those who gave us
this life
we enjoy, we live 

In gratitude  
we
honour
we give our best
to
those that served 

They are the
ultimate
They are the
Best.

it is yours 

Let’s journey
together 

Me
with mine
and
you with yours.

I Hold My Hands

October 21, 2025
I Hold My Hands ~ Photo by Patrice

I hold my hands
I close them
tight
I feel the glory
in
all their might 

They will cheer
the good, great fight
they will fall silent
in 
mourning
the world’s sad plight 

I hold my hands
thankful
they can show the world
my delight.
