To go in the direction
Necessary and okay
Today, tomorrow and yesterday.

Where Are We Going?

Where are we going?
How long will we stay?
Are our friends coming with us?
Is our life in disarray?

No answer to these questions
No words will make the wrong okay
All I can do is wonder
Cause tomorrow will bring answers
I’m asking for today.

Freezing is Freezing

January 9, 2015

Patrice's avatarPatrice’s Art & Poetry Blog

Freezing is freezing
And then there is freezing.
Not much else can be said
Other than it’s freezing.
I mean it’s freezing and freezing.

Keep yourself toasty, snugly warm
Never think freezing, only warm, warm warm.
Because it’s freezing
I mean it’s freezing and freezing.

Don’t go out, stay yourself in
Get a good book, maybe a bottle of gin
Because outside, it’s freezing
I mean it’s freezing and freezing.

No one will mind or notice you gone,
Because their busy, keeping from freezing,
Keeping themselves warm,
Because it’s freezing
I mean it’s freezing and freezing.

See you in spring
As the buds open and flower.
When it’s hot, not freezing
I mean not freezing and freezing,
But hot, hot and warm.

What Has Happened?

January 7, 2015

 

Filtered Sunlight ~ Photo by PatriceWhat has happened?
What will be today?
No one telling’
Just moving, moving on their way.

Couldn’t hear directions
Couldn’t see the way
Couldn’t, couldn’t remember my journey
From that other day.

Must trust the Master
Must believe, believe he’ll guide me
On this that is
My journey’s way.

Is a series of intentional accidents
Given to me by the universe.

I am not here, I am over there
I am everywhere in my mind.

My soul holds it all together
Here, there and everywhere.

Sitting down
To think of something
Intelligently bright and just right
For the discussion I’m having
With myself tonight.

Sacrifice Needs Not To Be

December 17, 2014

Golden Eagle ~ Illustration by Patrice

Sacrifice needs not to be
Nor neither give in
No
This is not your destiny.

Abuse no one in your passage
Just
Proud, strong and kind
These are what is needed
In all of human kind.

Courage To Understand

December 15, 2014

Courage
to understand.

Strength
to get it done.

Tolerance
to know
not everyone
is the same one.

Kindness
to guide
yourself and
those lost.

Awareness
to know when
and what.

Yourself

That’s all
it costs.
~ Patrice
