I Hear You Call

August 11, 2025
I hear Your Call ~ Watercolour Illustration by Patrice

I hear you call
I do
I hear your voice
in
that
so sincere way

Say
the words
I want to hear
help me
thru
not only this day

I hear your call
you’re here
with
me

Nothing
gets better
we’re together
just
you and me.
~ Patrice.

Me ~ Illustration by Patrice

After deep soul searching
Searching deep
Within
The depth of
Me 

I found 

Found I could be
The one
The one and only one
The only one of
Me.

Remembering

August 5, 2025
Remembering ~ Photo by Patrice

Crying heart, crying times
remembering
those
whose voices
sang
words of love
devotion
all
those wondrous things 

Gone now
gone from the world
gone
from
everything 

Except
my sad heart 
my wailing voice
my mind
that
remembers 

Remembers
all
remembers everything.

Already heard
the answer 

Made my decision 
right or wrong 

Will believe 
in
that answer 

Made clear
and
so profound.

Finding Out

July 31, 2025
Finding Out ~ Self-illustration by Patrice

Holding still
and
finding out
the world
doesn’t turn round
me

There
is
no doubt

Full of myself
proud
dictating
what’s to come about
is
not
who I should be

This is true
I have
no doubt.

Let Me

July 30, 2025
Let Me ~ Photo by Patrice

Let me
see
feel
the magic
in
the world
the land

Let me
step
upon
soft ground
but not
deserted sand

Let me
envelop
myself
in
generous
spirituality 

Let me
not
say
anything
that
isn’t real

Let me
be.

I Am Strong

I Am Strong ~ Watercolour Art by Patrice

I am strong
my mind is bold
I will become
what my heart beats
what is mine
to
behold.

Can You See Me?

July 28, 2025

Can You See Me? ~ Photo by Patrice

Can you see me? 

Am I
close to you? 

Are my lips moving
singing
songs
of
love? 

Do my steps
follow
the righteous path
or
veer into
what’s called
a
disastrous class? 

Are you there beside of me? 

Can I hear
your voice
singing words
in
a pleasant melody? 

Do I know
if
I fall
you’ll be there
picking me
up 

Supporting me 

Till the trail ends
and
we have made it 

We are there.

Stranger Than Fiction ~ Photo by Patrice

Stranger than fiction 
Stronger than life 
Accepting all visions 
Making no fight. 

Believing in heaven 
The devil and hell 
Make no correction 
It’ll turn out so well.

I Hold You Close

July 24, 2025
I Hold You Close ~ Photo by us

I hold you 
close 
I hold you tight 
we are together 
thru 
the long 
dark night 

In the morning 
when the sun shines bright 
we’ll walk together 
no fear 
no fright. 
~ Patrice
