Changes Need To Be Made

June 19, 2024
Changes Need To Be Made ~ Photo by Patrice

I know changes
Need to be
Made
Things have gotten
Old and staid 

But
Then my mind goes
In
Another way
. . . . 

Old stuff, old ways 
Are
Well known
And
Oh such
A comfortable place
To stay!

I Don’t Like

June 18, 2024

I don’t like
the one I’ve become
I want to be
that
other one 

The one that laughs
sees the light
holds close
evening’s delight 

Let me be, let me see
that person
I was
I wish once more
to be.

No

No ~ Illustration by Patrice

No
I won’t be hurt
By what you see or do

No
I won’t try to understand
The method used

No
I won’t believe
My dreams can’t come
true

Because
I know I will have
Everything
I need

This
I’m telling you.

Holding On And Very Still

Holding On And Very Still ~ Photo by Patrice

Holding on and very still 
breathe light 
heart softly beating 
and
I will be careful
to
leave the earth 
a better place
because
of
me 

I promise, I will.

I Must Accept

June 13, 2024
I Must Accept ~ Watercolour by Patrice

This is when
I must
Accept those
Giving
Unconditional love 

And
Anyone
That only means harm
Let them go away 

To find
How
They can change
Their hurt
Into loving others 

Each
And
Every day.

In This Day

In This Day ~ Watercolour Painting by Patrice

In this day
I wonder
Where, what will appear
Go away? 

Nothing changes
Yet
Everything
Does.

Heaven Help Me

Heaven Help Me ~ Photo by Patrice

Heaven help me
Let me be free
Of
All controversy

Let not
The powers that be
Feed me
Hate, anger 
More
Controversy

Instead let me see
The love, the beauty
And
All that heaven
Has
Gives to me.

I Hear The Engine Roar

June 10, 2024
I Hear The Engine Roar ~ Illustration by Patrice for B.C. Central Credit Union

I hear
the engine roar
the smoke billow
and
fly high
up into the air
high
up to the sky

I see people laughing
cordially
taking steps to be
in the midst
of
everything 

I feel excitement
racing
round the curves
down
the track
in
anticipation
of
who’s to win 

The first
to cross the finish line
the one I know
all
will celebrate and cheer 

The one
who’s
the winner. 

That’s what I do hear.

Me

Me ~ Photo by Patrice

I have heard your voice
calling me
I’ve known always
that
you stayed by me
protected
me. 

I know
when I’m gone
you’ll have taken the journey
with me 
guided me
consoled
me. 

Made me know
I’m not alone
for
you’ll always be
here
right beside  
of
me.

All Alone

June 5, 2024
Last used June 5/24

Lonely can I be
Wondering
Where everyone could have gone
Leaving me  

All alone 

Lonely can be
Heartbreak 
Broken heart sobbing
Into silence 

All alone 

Waiting
For a saviour to bring love
Togetherness 
To sip the sweet nectar
Of belonging
Not
Not 

All alone.
