I Saw A Firefly

June 1, 2023
I Saw A Firefly ~ Photo by Patrice

Last night I saw a firefly
it lit up
the whole damn sky.

Yes, last night
a tiny fly radiated light
made
a bit of darkness bright.

Last night when I saw a firefly.

I Have Heard

I Have Heard ~ Photo by Patrice

I have heard
and
know
I have to be
the sweetest person
I ever can be. 

Why? 
you ask

Why
this has to be? 

Cause the Creator
says
this is best for the world
and
of course
little
old me.

What I Think And What I Tell

May 29, 2023
What I Think And What I Tell ~ Photo by Patrice

What I think
And
What I tell
Big difference
I’m sure
You as well.

Somethings are meant
To be left in the dark
Not spoken of
Not given a chance
To step out
And
Stomp on
A frail, fragile heart

My Heart’s Memories

May 24, 2023
My Heart's Memories ~ Photo by Patrice

My Heart does break
My soul knows
The past has gone
It exists
No more.

Times remembered
Times
From long ago past
Have faded in my memory
But
I thought
They’d last and last.

The land has covered
Over
The lane we used to walk
Trees died
Their stark bodies bent
Cracking in the wind
While bushes have overgrown
Where happiness
Should’ve been.

Surrounded
By empty, barren fields
Flourishing weeds covering in
What used to be
Fertile land growing crops
That
Nurtured creatures
Way back then.

Only memories
Now
Only fading memories
Of what was but not now
Or
Ever again.

I went back after several years, to the place where I grew up.
The place where I had many happy times and wonderful memories.

I was overwhelmed to see what time has done.

I’ll Live

May 23, 2023
I'll Live ~ Photo by Patrice

I’ll be the best
I can be. 

Nothing
Else matters
Nothing is as important
Important
As
This to me.

Sometimes
I get lost
Sometimes I lose my way
Then a light
A bright light glows
Leading me on my path
My own sweet way.

Know

Know ~ Photo by Patrice

I know, you know
We know

Know what you say?

The truth, the way
That’s what I think, I hope
We know today.

Times Once Been

May 15, 2023
Times Once Been ~ Photo by Patrice

Gone are the times once been
Memories only
That’s what I know, I’ve seen. 

No more to be
Those moments 
Memories
Those times once been.

All Giving Majesty

May 4, 2023
All Giving Majesty ~ Photo by Patrice

Were you there
Did you see
The beauty, the kindness 
And 
All giving majesty? 

It took my breath away
My eyes could not believe
All that wonder
Right there
There in front of me. 

Let me not forget
All this
That I’ve seen. 

Hoping you’ve witnessed
Too 
This beauty, this kindness
And 
All giving majesty.

No Way, No Where

May 2, 2023
No Way, No Where ~ Photo by Patrice

No way, no where 
to be 
so travel on 
to 
somewhere 
kind and decent 

Make sure you care 
that 
your heart 
is 
filled with love 
that 
there’s no way 
no where 
else 
you’d rather be.

I Figure And Figure

May 1, 2023
I Figure And Figure ~ Photo by Patrice

I figure and figure
Try to scheme
The best way to maneuver
All life’s dreams 

Sometimes I’m pleased 
Sometimes
Not
So much 

But 

It all boils down
To
What I want the most
Want so much.
