Falling Down

August 12, 2025
Falling Down ~ Photo by Patrice

I saw
you
falling down 
I saw
rocks slip
crashing
all around 

No sound
could
I hear
no breath intake
no cries
for
God’s sake 

Only
falling
falling down.

Already heard
the answer 

Made my decision 
right or wrong 

Will believe 
in
that answer 

Made clear
and
so profound.

Let Me

July 30, 2025
Let Me ~ Photo by Patrice

Let me
see
feel
the magic
in
the world
the land

Let me
step
upon
soft ground
but not
deserted sand

Let me
envelop
myself
in
generous
spirituality 

Let me
not
say
anything
that
isn’t real

Let me
be.

Can You See Me?

July 28, 2025

Can You See Me? ~ Photo by Patrice

Can you see me? 

Am I
close to you? 

Are my lips moving
singing
songs
of
love? 

Do my steps
follow
the righteous path
or
veer into
what’s called
a
disastrous class? 

Are you there beside of me? 

Can I hear
your voice
singing words
in
a pleasant melody? 

Do I know
if
I fall
you’ll be there
picking me
up 

Supporting me 

Till the trail ends
and
we have made it 

We are there.

I Have To Seek

I Have To Seek ~ Photo by Patrice

I have to seek
I have to find
the answers in this mess
make it 

Divine 

I reach out
I ask
they look back at me 
they don’t answer
blank
is
all I see 

I must seek 
I must find 
all
the answers 
to make my world
a place
of
peace 

So
Divine.

I See The Beauty ~ Photo by Patrice

I see the beauty 
The magnificence 
In all the land. 

As I stand in awe of all 
She reaches down 
She touches me 
She touches all. 

She understands.

My Heart Shines

My Heart Shines ~ Photo by Patrice

My heart
Shines

A smile comes 
Spreads
Across my face 

The sun beams
Bright
and
Victorious 

The clouds
have
Cleared 

All
is
Right 

I will
Persevere 

I will 
Succeed 

I will be
Victorious 

Today 
Tonight!

Hold My Heart

July 8, 2025
Hold My Heart ~ Photo by Patrice

Hold my heart
hold me still
let me see beyond
the gate
far, far across the hill
take my hand
let’s walk we two
to a place
where forgiveness
reigns
and
gentleness
is a way of life 

There we’ll stay
living
in
perfect harmony 

Oh, yes
 that
would be nice!

You Come To Me

June 24, 2025
You Come To Me ~ Photo by Patrice

You come to me
you tell me
things
I shouldn’t hear 

I shut my eyes
not to see 
what you’re
showing me 

I close my mouth
not to taste
the bitterness
you bring
to me 

I run as fast
as I can
putting safety 
between
what you are
and
what I don’t want to be 

No don’t come
please
anymore
to
visit me.
