When You See Myself

When you see myself
You see someone else
Not the one I want to be
But the one I let you see.

Therefore
I will try to appear to be
The person who’s good for you
And most of all the best of me.

Herself

View from the top ~ Photo by Patrice

The world has come presenting
Herself.

Showing what she’s made of
No excuses, no glorifying laude
Just the world made of
Herself.

Travelling Down A No Return Road

First of  Winter Road ~ photo by Patrice

Travelling down a no return road
Going forward pass signs
On this winding, bending road
That tell me what’s ahead
Sometimes full of anticipation
Sometimes only dread.

Going forward
Not looking back
Not using a rearview mirror
To see behind
There’s no use in using that.

On the side of this my road
I’m passing beauty there
Just up to me to behold.

My salvation
May be at the end
Of this my own long road
But the journey to that place
Is up to me to unfold.

Waves of trusting love
Felt in this world where I abide.

I Will Survive

Photo by Mom and Dad

I will survive
I will breathe and be alive
I will rejoice
I will have a choice in decisions made
I will laugh and cry
I will live then die

But

I will
I will survive.

In my dream
I see fortune full of destiny
Mine to have

This my dream
In that destiny
I see.

When I feel
The tenderness
The soft calling
From my heart
Let me begin to process
All these things
I feel
In my head
In my heart.

Let Me

September 19, 2017

Sunset ~ Photo by Patrice

Let me lie at your feet

My life in disarray

Let me see you seek

The good in everyday

Let me feel your heart beat

Goodness with every beat

And finally

Let me be part of all

You do and say

All my life

In every way.
~ Patrice
