I Sit Here Wishing

November 30, 2017

I sit here wishing
What is
Could not be.

Hoping life
Would be a little gentler
Take pity on me.

Trusting it
Will get better
So all can be happy.

Doesn’t matter what I wish
Cause life is
What it will be.
~ Patrice

Seeing The Scars

November 29, 2017

Seeing the scars
Coated over
Feeling, festering
Oozing beneath
Hurting
The anger welling up
To soldier on
In spite of what
Lies under underneath.

Outside is cloudy
Barring, marring
My way
Help is at hand
But I can’t reach it
Something blocks
The way
Turning, trying hard
To make my way
To the destination
I know is here, is mine
I’m sure today
Just have to move
Push those clouds
Away.
~ Patrice

In My Command

November 27, 2017

Holding still trying to understand
The health of the world
Of course nothing is in my command.

Just a traveller on this ocean of life
Moving up and down
The good, the bad felt here in this my life.

Grateful for the time given me
Happy I exist, that I be
Maybe tomorrow I will understand.

Until then I’ll live my life
Travelling, knowing
I’m not in command.
~ Patrice

Maybe Behind In Time

November 24, 2017

Patrice’s Art & Poetry Blog

Maybe behind in time
Maybe not ahead of the crowd
But oh, joy is bestowed
Upon this road I’m travelling on.

Come be with me
Feel the passion in a love
Of beauty all around.

Go back in time
Feel the love, the joy
That does surround.
~ Patrice

Watching

November 23, 2017

Watching
Things happen at a
Happening
No one knows the road to go
Following
Down a path
Filled
With all sorts of things
Waiting
For the sun to show
Rising
Filled with glamour unsurpassed by
Anything
Yes, I’m watching

Everything.
~ Patrice

Hallowed Ground Rises

November 21, 2017

Hallowed ground rises
Beneath my feet
Spreading joy for all those that seek
A life better than yesterday
As a heart beats just to stay
Here with us in today
Soft, tender feet tread
On gentle ground
Feeling love all around
Making no enemies friend nor foe
Only love
Laughter is what they sow.
~ Patrice
