No One Believes

July 25, 2023
No One Believes ~ Photo by Patrice

No one believes
And
I can’t see
The solution, the remedy
To
What ails the world
And
Unfortunately me.

Seek To Find

Seek To Find

Seek to find
The answer

Pleased
To know today

I have
The directions
To navigate all obstacles
To journey 
Find my way.

This Morning

This Morning ~ Photo by Patrice

This morning comes alive
Breathing new life
In the day 
The moment
Throughout all waking hours
To
Evening night.

Never speaking
Of
What must be done
What should be
Left behind. 

Only moving through
The day
Bringing everything
To evening
Where to rest, sleep
In the quiet 
Peaceful night.

Hold Me Close

July 12, 2023
Hold Me Close ~ Watercolour Illustration by Patrice

Hold me close
Don’t let me be
Sacrificed
To the dragons of eternity.

Let me see
Beauty, harmony
In the world all around
Surrounding me. 

Cherish, nurture those that grow
In the shadow of greatness 
Growing as they must
All alone. 

But
Lovingly supported 
By me, by us that hold them
Forever close.

Very, Very Still

July 11, 2023
Very, Very Still ~ Photo by Patrice

Cannot see
Nor
Can I feel
The essence of the world
All seems so
Very, very still. 

I wonder why
I ask the question
To the quiet presence
But
Still, still. 

Nothing says
The why
Nor can I feel 
All is
Very, very still.

No More Today

No More Today - Photo by Patrice

No more
Today. 

Tomorrow
Will be
What it turns out
To be. 

But
Today, only today
I’ll let it be. 

I’ll sit back
And
Enjoy my solitude
My serenity.

No One Will Be

July 6, 2023
No One Will Be ~ Watercolour Art by Patrice

No one will be 
No one can be
In the same time, place
Ever
Ever as me.

It may be tomorrow
Or
The day after that
I’ll be in heaven
Smiling down
On all this, all that.

Where I’ll be wondering
Why I cared
If no one
was in the same time, place 
As me.

Like today 
I’ll be  wondering
Just wondering all this
And
Of course, all that.

What’s Right

July 5, 2023
What's Right ~ Illustration by Patrice for Holt, Rinehart and Winston's reader, 'Flights Near And Far'

Working on what’s right
On
What to say
When everything comes to light
When all see
What completes the day. 

Then
I’ll have the words
That’s when I’ll know
What to say. 

This is what I tell myself
Worried, I’m lying
Worried
 I don’t really know
What’s right
Or
What I need to say.

No One Tells Me

July 4, 2023
No One Tells Me ~ Photo by Patrice

No one tells me
No one says
The words I need to hear
Need inside my brain
My head.

They are out there
They have been said

Just not to me
They still do not live here
Within my body
Within
My questioning head.

Beauty And Tolerance Are Key

June 29, 2023
Beauty And Tolerance Are Key ~ Photo by Patrice

Beauty and tolerance are key to me
For a life full
Of
Love and majesty.

Let me
Keep on this path
Let me be in love with life
No matter what comes to be.
