My Deepest Sympathies

April 24, 2018

My Deepest Sympathies to the families, friends
All who know victims in yesterday’s horrific tragedy
My prayers go out to you
To the ones whose lives were brutally cut short
Those injured

For no reason.

No sane reason.

You are in my thoughts, my words, my prayers and my heart. ❤
~ Patrice

Pathetic And Sad

April 23, 2018

Pathetic and sad
He goes forth
The essence of bad.

No one curtails
No one dare tell
The evil one
He is going to wither
In hell.

He doesn’t know
It doesn’t have to be so
He could be happy
And glad.

All that’s required
Is to be open, generous
Considerate and mostly
Not angry, bitter
Or sad.

Cherish The One

April 20, 2018

Patrice's avatarPatrice’s Art & Poetry Blog

Cherish the one who gives you joy
Cuddle the one who sinks beneath a burdened load
Find the one whose lost the road
Be yourself where’re you go.

Trying To Make

Trying to make
All my work complete

Make things tidy
Tidy and neat

Exhaustive work
Mental trying times

When and where
Did I get so much

So much to do
In so little time?

Every Morning

Every morning I open my book
Writing
The words given to me.

Every morning I think about living
Life
Free with courtesy.

Every morning I see
A different morning
One
I make it to be.

Understand, Don’t Understand

Understand, don’t understand
How the world turns round
Can’t conceive, see the concept
Of what will come to be.

All fits together, all is a mess
Nothing left undone
All’s well and is what
Is the outcome.

For Absolutely No Reason

Horse and Cowboy ~ illustration by Patrice

For absolutely no reason
I’m sent to the past
Made to remember things
I’d rather pass.

For no reason
They breathe life again
Making me remember
All over again and again.

The outcome is no different
The end is the same
For absolutely no reason
I remember again.

I Don’t Know, Neither Do You

April 12, 2018

I don’t know, neither do you
Where will we go when
We’re through.

I don’t know, neither do you
But we do know where
We’ve been and been through.

I’m Going To Be

Pen & Ink Illustration of Yehudi Menuhin by Patrice

I’m going to be here
And over there.

I’m going to be full of brilliance
Nothing more.

I’m going to be forever
Evermore.
