I Need Today

June 25, 2024
I Need Today ~ Photo by Patrice

No one can
tell me
no one can say
the comforting words
I need
need today. 

They are all lost, hidden away
not heard
nor
part of the healing
I’m craving
I’m needing today.

Just Like Me

June 24, 2024

No one writes 
No one sees the world
Exactly
Just like me.

Changes come 
Things disappear
They go
As
I sit here

Wondering
What makes me tick
Why
My life ebbs and flows

All the things
Only
I can know.

When I Hear The Sound Of Your Voice

When I Hear The Sound Of Your Voice ~ Photo by Patrice

When I hear 
The sound of your voice 
Life becomes so dear 
Clouds part, rains stop 
And wrens fly near. 

No one speaks a word 
No one need say 
The feelings felt 
To convey how 
The world is ours 
And 
We have all the love 
We need today.

All Those Things

All Those Things ~ Photo by Patrice

No one can tell
no one can
say
all those things
I need to hear
just to get me
through
today.

Heaven help
if
you please
I need
comforting
come be near
holding me.

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

June 17, 2024
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.

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.
