You Might Say

January 22, 2025
You Might Say ~ Photo by Patrice

A hawk came
to my feeder
today
in hopes, I believe
to take away
a small bird
prey
you might say. 

But
he flew away
elsewhere
to better hunting
I think, I’m guessing
you might say.

Let Me Be ~ Photo by Patrice

Let me, let me be
at peace
quiet, silent
not asking anything

Let me, let me be
happy and carefree

Let me be.

Nothing

Listening to the likes of you.

No Matter What

No Matter What ~ Watercolour by Patrice

No matter what 

The earth turns 
bringing light and warmth 
on a summer day. 

No matter what 

Filling oceans up 
creating life in the water 
dirt and the sky. 

No matter what 

She moves 
speaking words of love 
heard by those quiet enough 

No matter what.

No More To Say

August 1, 2024
Last used Aug. 1/24

No more to say
nothing
else to do
sitting, relaxing 
watching everything
I need to be reality

Come true.

Give Me The Kind Of Strength

Give Me The The Kind Of Strength ~ Photo by Patrice

Oh give me
the kind of strength
you show 

I should be 

Let me give the love
you do
forgiving
all that transgressed
against thee 

I know I haven’t
shame on me 

Then
I see you giving all
with no thought
of what may come
to be 

I’m in awe
of you 

I care, I hold 
I love you 

Desperately.

On The Other Side, Sliding Down

On The Other Side, Sliding Down ~ Illustration by Patrice

On the other side, sliding down 

The slippery slope 
Laughing, crying I turn round 
Hope the way is clear 
The path won’t steer me wrong 

On the other side, sliding down.

Those Words

July 25, 2024
Those Words ~ Photo by Patrice

Cringe to think, to say
Those words
Forming in my mouth
Just today.

What do they mean?
What do they say
About me
My life and happenings
From
Yesterday?

I’ll keep them safe, tucked away
Till I figure out
What they mean
What they’re trying to tell me
Trying to say.

Unacceptable, Acceptable

July 24, 2024
Unacceptable Acceptable ~ Photo by Patrice

Totally unacceptable
Totally
Not what I want
The question though
is. . . 

What do I really want? 

Something acceptable
Something that makes me happy
Something that
I want. 

Makes me get up in the morning
Sleep
Restful in the night. 

Yes 
That’s definitely
Definitely what I want.
