Wether We Do Or We Don’t

Wether We Do Or We Don't ~ Photo by Patrice

Wether we do
or
We don’t

Whether we stay
or
Don’t

Makes no difference
in
The universe 

So to speak 

But in our lives
It means everything
Everything.

Seeking Answers

August 23, 2023
Seeking Answers ~ Photo by Patrice

Seeking answers
Trying to find
My way through
The sadness
I feel here in my mind.

Rain cries tears
From
My mournful eyes
My lips form words 
I hope won’t make me cry.  

And my feet
My feet run
As fast as they can
From the hurt, anger
I know, I feel
I have.

The only thing left
Is for me to abide 
Hopefully tomorrow
The sun will shine
And
The only blue
will be in the skies.

Close By, Then Far Away

August 22, 2023
Close By, Then Far Away ~ Photos by Patrice

Close by 
Then far away
My thoughts travel
Travel  
Throughout the day.

I wonder
Will they be right?
Will they say the truth
Or
Will they lie?

Will they protect
The ones I love
Make them laugh  
Not
Make them cry? 

Questions I ask 
Thoughts I wonder 
Throughout the day 
Close by
Then far away.

No One Is Listening

3 Faces of Foxy ~ Watercolour Painting by Patrice

Seems 
No one is listening 
To what I say. 

Let it go, let it be 
Resting in the knowledge 
I am here, I am all 
I have to be.

Hold Me Close, Let Me Go

August 17, 2023
Hold Me Close, Let Me Go ~ Photo by Patrice

Hold me close, let me go
No more to see the agony
Keeping me all alone
Destitute
Far from where I want to be

Hold me
Hold me then let me go 
Trusting I’ll find my way
No matter where the path may lead 
Where I need to go.

Hearing All

Hearing All ~ Photo by Patrice

Hearing all 
The reasons 
Seeing what’s 
Dropped between 
The seams. 

My heart 
Does answer 
The questions not asked 
Haven’t yet been.

Comings And Goings

August 15, 2023
Coming And Goings ~ Photo by Patrice

Comings and goings
Will always be
Bringing good, leaving bad to be
Somewhere
That can’t hurt one lonely soul
Who needs comfort
Love and security.

Quietly

August 14, 2023
Quietly ~ Photo by Patrice

Quietly
I hold you dearly
Singing songs of love
So clearly
Cherished by those that hear
The melody

Quietly
I say words that hold you close
Words of wisdom for love
For
I love you  
Oh so much, the most

Quietly
I walk away
Never looking back
Never saying
Or
Waving goodbye

Quietly
I disappear from your life
For
You have learned
All that’s needed.

Quietly

Hope

Hope is all I have 
To get me through the day. 

Hope that all the bad 
Will disappear like yesterday. 

Hope I have the strength 
To stand tall and say. 

I am good 
I am the best 
I am all I need 
I will leave the rest.

Feel The Beginnings

Feel The Beginnings ~ Photo by Patrice

 

Feel the beginnings
The fall away to the end 
Rejoice in starting
Know blessings have come
And then
Join the journey
Follow it all the way
Right to
The final, the finishing
The end. 
~ Patrice
