No More Can I See

July 23, 2024
Last used July 23/24

No more can I see
You loving me
Holding me, protecting me.

No more can I see
This happening with you
To me.

I thought our lives
Would be
Intertwined forever
Forever into eternity

But
No more, no more
Can it, will it be.

To Know

July 22, 2024
To Know ~ Illustration by Patrice for Holt, Rinehart and Winston's reader, 'Flights Near And Far'

 Can I see? 

Be what I want to be? 

Know the path to go? 

Can I bypass the treacherous 
Not
What I need to see
To know? 

The answer is mine
To say, to see 
To know. 

For it’s all there
And that’s 
That is what I know.

Sentenced To Life

July 17, 2024
Sentenced To Life ~ Illustration by Patrice

Sentenced to life
Sentenced to death
Sentenced to live an existence
Filled with loving hearts
No tragedy, no criticism
No regrets.

Which is yours?
Which sentence will be your verdict?

Your living, your existence
Or
Your death?

Choosing is yours

Choosing
Is
What we do
With
Each heartbeat
Each breath.

Let Me

Let Me ~ Photo by Patrice

Let me be
Let me see all those things
I need to see

Let me not be angry
Full of uncertainty
But
One who knows
Sees
Only sweetness, love  
Giving
Unconditionally

Let that
That be me.

No where
To go
Nothing to do

I’ll just sit here
Thinking
Thinking of you.

Sitting Quietly

Sitting Quietly ~ Photo by Patrice

Sitting quietly
Sitting 
Just to be 
No angry, no rushing 
Not now, not me. 

When the weather 
changes 
And storms blow fiercely 
I’ll move, I’ll seek shelter 
Til once again I can sit 
Quietly.

Let Me Seek

Let Me Seek ~ Photo by Brent

Let me seek
Let me find
The world a better place
Better
Than all past times 

No more crying 
Weeping, wailing
Wine 

Just hugging, laughing
Seeing
Love
Till the end of time 

This is what
I seek
I hope to fine 

Come join me
We’ll travel
Together
Our wondrous lives
Intertwined.

The Angel Comes And He Calls

The Angel Comes And He Calls ~ Photo by Patrice

The angel comes
and
he calls
the good, the bad, the innocent
them all.

For them to live in blessed harmony
live forever
that ‘s all

The angel comes
and
he calls.

You, Me

You, Me ~ Photo by Patrice

No more can I see

You, Me 

Gone with the past
Used to be

You, Me 

When in the future
will I love?  

You, Me 

Be immersed
in
lovely love? 

You, Me 

No more to happen
No more to be

You, Me.

Natural, Age Old Beauty

July 8, 2024
Last used July 8/24

Does anyone
tell of 
does anyone see
the beauty 
the complexity
of
the world around us? 

A world full
of
natural things
like birds, flowers
and
bees. 

Never let me
be blind
to what could happen
to all this 
all this
natural, age old
beauty. 

Let me help protect it
keep it as it
has always been
as it
should always be. 

And
Let me not forget 
that
I too am part of this 
all this
Heaven on earth 

This
natural 
age old beauty.
