I Don’t Know

I Don't Know ~ Photo by Patrice

I don’t know
I haven’t seen
anything of consequence
nothing that
hasn’t been.

You too
have you seen
anything important
anything
that’s been?

Maybe together
maybe as one
we’ll be able to understand
understand
all that has been
all that
has been done.

You Spoke

May 7, 2026
You Spoke - Photo by Patrice

You spoke
but
you didn’t say
words of wisdom
nor 
great things 

No, not today 

Makes me wonder
do you know
what it’s all about? 

Or 

Just wording words
you’ve heard
but
never cared
thought about?

Can I Help You See?

Can I Help You See? ~ Photo by Patrice

Can I help you see? 

Can
you help me be? 

Together
we’ll march
right into history
no casualties
no one left
behind
I’ll grasp your hand
you’ll grasp mine 

That’s all we need
you’ll lead
we’ll be just fine.

You Don’t Know

You Don't Know ~ Photo by Patrice

You don’t know 
and
I can’t tell you
what will happen
in
your life
or
mine. 

We must be
optimistic
we must trust
the heavenly
has us in their hands
guiding us
through
the darkest night. 

I’ll say a prayer
for you
please say one
for me
and
may we come together
joined
in
our destinies.

You Are Not Alone

You Are Not Alone ~ Photo by Patrice

You are not alone
never think
you are 

Hear the bells toll
they ring
no matter where
you are 

So sing
their song of glory
and
future bright 

Cause all of us
together
will survive 

We’ll love
we’ll pull together
knowing we can
rid the world
of
this terrible blight.

Falling Asleep, Staying Awake

April 13, 2026
Falling Asleep, Staying Awake ~ Photo by Patrice

Falling asleep
staying awake
the same
but
a difference
I can’t contemplate. 

Each night
when
I go to bed
I wonder which one
will be swirling round
in
my head. 

My body must follow
my feet align
for
whatever happens
it’ll start right there
in
my head. 

Falling asleep
or
staring straight ahead.

Fall Between The Cracks

Fall Between The Cracks ~ Photo by Patrice

I fall between the cracks
I stay in limbo
I just keep in a sway
not moving forward
standing still
all day. 

Will it be
the same tomorrow? 

The same as today? 

Will I look ahead
but
never, never
find
my way?

Not A Lot Of Sense

March 18, 2026
Not A Lot Of Sense ~ Photo by Patrice

There seems
not to be
a lot of sense, logic
nor
harmony
basking itself
in
sunny beauty. 

All that seems
to exist
is
anger
hatred and strife
screaming obscenities
throughout
the long cold, horrid night. 

Let me
feel
the gift of love
enveloped
in
beauty, happiness
near
people who care. 

Not those who
only seek
to
destroy. 

Oh please, please
let me.

Heaven Told Me

Heaven Told Me ~ Photo by Patrice

Heaven told me
not to tell
About the kind gestures
You gave to all that needed love 

So I didn’t 

I didn’t tell 

Instead
I held you in my arm’s embrace 

To let you know as well 
You are loved 
You are needed 

But
Please don’t tell 

For heaven needs you
Heaven wants you
There 

To do your work of kindness
Cause
You do it oh so well.
