Bring your heart to the fight
Let it show strength isn’t all that wins
Wins the fight.

Words

July 25, 2019

Leaves in Fall ~ Photo by Patrice

Words have gone
Lost, forgotten, laying strewn
Across a uncaring lawn.

No time to pick them up
No time to remember
What has been forgot.

Words were said
Yet no one remembers exactly
Or just what.

Mighty

July 24, 2019

Diva and Lise ~ Watercolour & Pencil Art by Patrice

Hold the tender
In your hands
Bask in sunlight
Lighting all the land.

Never believe
Your life’s not worthy
For you are mighty
You are mighty grand.

Decisions

Decisions to make
Change my life as I know it
Must make no mistake.

Decisions I make
Will be what I live with
A lot is at stake.

Decisions
Decisions to make.

When The World Is Laughing

July 19, 2019

Jackal ~ Illustration by Patrice for Holt, Rinehart and Winston's reader, 'Flights Near And Far'

When the world is laughing
And things are profound
Stand on their steps
Then lightly step down.

No holes will be barred
No one will curse or swear
Just jovial laughing
Not one bit of despair.

Hear the world laughing
Join the chorus of delight
Smile with pleasure
Let heartache take a hike.

Hear The Silence

July 18, 2019

Crossing at Nanticoke Creek ~ Photo by Patrice

Hear the silence
Feel the quiet expanse
Fill it with all of you
All of yourself.

Peaceful existence
Beauty in living a loving life
You can do it
But not all alone
Not all by yourself.

I Have Seen

July 17, 2019

Girl and Dog at the Beach ~ Photo by Patrice

I have seen you are with me
You have been my sole companion
On this trip, this journey.

Never alone, my heart, my soul
Feel your gentle breath
Breathing.

At peace, I am feeling
Your hand in mine leading
Keeping.

So Long Ago

July 16, 2019

2 Friends ~ Watercolour by Patrice

So long ago
I wrote my lines of love for you
So long ago
I lived my life for you
So long ago
I found I didn’t know you
So long ago
I left, left before you left me too
So long ago, so long ago
I loved you.

Pull It All Together

Happy Convict ~ illustration by Patrice

Pull It all together
Make it your own
Smile in the face of danger
Never leave a lost soul
All alone.

Amazing

July 3, 2019

This Lady

Amazing

How the earth does turn
How it all seems so serene and firm

Amazing

That we don’t fall off
How we can fly high, high in the sky

Amazing

That the oceans deep give us food
Give us nourishing water sweet

Amazing.
