I Have Found

September 26, 2019

I have found
My life abounds
With great and grandeur things
If I stay my breath
And listen
To all that brings me joy
Love
And lovely earthly things.

Exalted

September 25, 2019

3 Rotties ~ Illustration by Patrice

Holy has it
Blessed to be
In the company of the exalted
Those that run the universe
The rain, the wind
And me.

No one says
They are lonely
Nor do they see reason
To be unhappy
Or heaven forbid
Angry.

You will be one
Of these persons
You will be filled with ecstasy
For the exalted
Will make sure
It comes to be.
~ Patrice

Show The Light

September 24, 2019

Show The Light
Show the way to go
Forget the pebbled path
Leading nowhere.

There is another way
Let the light show
That way
That way you need to go.

Why Haven’t I

September 23, 2019

Why haven’t I seen
Your heart open up
Your voice speak
Soft, lilting words

Why haven’t I known
The place where all go
To be safe and unhurt
Why haven’t I?

I don’t know why
I haven’t been able
To experience all
Of these things.

I do know they exist
And know
Someday I’ll see all these
Beautiful, wondrous things.
~ Patrice

Sadness

September 20, 2019

Patrice’s Art & Poetry Blog

Sadness lingers giving a sad taste
Mental anguish holds memories in
Sadness’s wake.

This too will pass in future’s time
Overshadowed
By weeping and sad crying.

For now I hold my sadness near
All that’s left
Of one life so dear.
~ Patrice

Not Asking For Forgiveness

September 18, 2019

Not asking for forgiveness
Not saying I am right
Just living life to the fullest
Able to rest, to sleep tonight.

You Don’t Know

September 17, 2019

You don’t know and I won’t tell
The secrets kept
That do dwell deep beneath the sky
In plain sight
But blind to the naked, uncaring eye.

See you when your heart opens up
Your eyes do speak
And your mouth remains shut
Then you’ll know
The secrets I speak about
Then we’ll laugh and dance about.
~ Patrice
