Crazy Mad

October 24, 2017

Man in Waterfalls ~ Photo by Patrice

Sometimes
It makes me mad
Crazy in my thoughts
No hugging
Loving caring thoughts
Just crazy mad
Is all I’ve got.

Let Me Be

October 23, 2017

Ursa in her chair ~ Photo by Patrice

Let me be alone to wallow
In the sacrifices
I thought I needed to be free
No sudden anger, no hallowed ground
Just loneliness, sadness
These friends I seem to keep
Around.

Imagine
Today is your last day.

What would you say?
Where would you go?
What would you see?

Would it be beauty
Or misery?

I don’t know
Can’t see
But hope I’d make it
The best day to last me
An eternity.

Healthy Living

October 19, 2017

Daisy Flowers ~ Photo by Patrice

Healthy living
Finds a way out
Of the hollow
Where heartache
Plays.

Seeing the crisis
Changing the rules
Making sadness
Nothing
Not used.

This is my journey
My way out of strife
May I succeed
Have
Such a glorious life.

See it happen
Feel it be
Nothing is by accident
Only
Just as it should be.

Gentle And Kind

October 17, 2017

Diva & Lise Painting ~ Watercolour by Patrice

Gentle and kind
My soul holds my mind
Caressing softly.

Gentle and kind
I hear the words I need
So divine.

Gentle and kind
My soul is
My nurturing wine.

Read A Sentence

October 16, 2017

Starting Points in Math ~ Illustration by Patrice for publisher, Ginn & Company

Read a sentence
Write a word
Hold the past
Create the unheard
See the future
Make it real
Now in the present
Feel, feel.

When You See Myself

Happy Convict ~ illustration by Patrice

When you see myself
You see someone else
Not the one I want to be
But the one I let you see.

Therefore
I will try to appear to be
The person who’s good for you
And most of all the best of me.

Let Me Tell You A Story

October 12, 2017

Hollyhock & Bee ~ Photo by Patrice

Let me tell you a story
Of things I cannot grasp
Holding on to everything
Just as if it was the last
Time I’d see you
The last moment to escape
All things I abhor about you
Holding onto ones
That make me understand you
But please make no mistake
It is a story
A story I will relate.

Seasons Of Life

October 11, 2017

Fall Flowers ~ Photo by Patrice

I feel the sadness, the dying life
Into hibernation
No movement til the unfrozen
Comes back, springs to life.

Melancholy knowing
The ground will hold still
Covered in snow
And frozen ice.

Through cycles of the land
Eons of living life
The world changes showing
Birth, growing, living, dying
In seasons of life.
~ Patrice
