Soley 
my heart does ache 
for ones taken 
as 
angels bring to heaven 
these innocent people 
who’ve lost 
their precious lives. 

What is the reason why? 

My heart aches 
I weep, we weep 
We cry.

Can’t See

Can't See ~ Photo by Patrice

Can’t see where I’m going 
nor
where I’ve been 
the road is rough 
too many bends 
for me.

Will I come
out to the open? 

See the path before me 
gently sloping
to a valley full of fun  
no sadness nor depression 
so deep. 

Hopefully 
this is what I’ll see
will be.

You Haven’t Been The One

I know 
you haven’t been
the one
to make a difference
in my life.

That can only be
has to be
my purpose
my only purpose
forever, ever be.

Hold Them Close

Hold Them Close ~ Watercolour Pet Portrait Art by Patrice

Hold them close 
and 
very tight 

Feel your breath
breathe love
in the morning light 

Let no soul travel 
the path taken 
all alone 

No, never 
never alone.

When I Hear Your Heart Beat

When I Hear Your Heart Beat ~ Watercolour by Patrice

When I hear your heart beat 
I know you are near 
embracing
me 
comforting
 supporting
me 

When I hear your heart beat.

The Sun Shines Bright

The sun shines bright
Mists have blended
Into the water beyond
No one sees bees
No bats fly
In the expanse that surrounds

Nor does anyone hear
The cry
They’re gone, they’re gone

I rest, I sleep
Maybe there I’ll see
And
Seek a world that once here
Belonged.

Hear The Bells Ring

Hear the bells ring 
Some birds sing
While chimes announce
The coming of daylight
In the early morning spring. 

All is right
All will be as nature
Deems it to be
Far into the quiet darkness
Of night’s fading light.

Heaven Helps

Heaven helps
heaven waits to save 
comfort when you fall
when your heart sinks
and no one comes
even if you ask, you cry
you call.

Heaven stands strong
stands tall
reaching down, lifting up
saving you, giving
asking nothing back
nothing at all.

Tortured And Sad

Tortured and sad 
struggle to understand 
the world in my world 
beyond the bad. 

See the goodness 
believe and be glad 
for tomorrow 
may be better 
nothing 
tortured nor sad.

Already heard
the answer 

Made my decision 
right or wrong 

Will believe 
in
that answer 

Made clear
and
so profound.
