Another Year

January 1, 2018

Another year just today
Came to be, passed away
Looking
To the one to come
Wishing
Hoping
For a fortunate outcome.

Come join me
In the passage thru
A year
A day
A week or too.
~ Patrice

My Journey Is Special

December 20, 2017

My journey is special
I am elite
No one else walks, talks
Or looks like me.

My heart skips a beat
When I look in the mirror
For there someone exceptional
Is looking at me.

No one in this world
This story or be
The exact same example
The same human being.

I am special
I am me.
~ Patrice

Death Is Overpowering Me

December 19, 2017

Death is overpowering me
Coming, telling me
What to do, where to go
Where to be.

Death is walking beside me
Holding gently, telling me
Souls who go don’t leave
They too, are alongside me.

Death is breathing life inside me
My time will come but not now
Go live a life full of love
Fun and beauty.

This death tells me.
~ Patrice

There I Stand

December 18, 2017

There I stand
Soul, hat in hand
Searching, looking for the right way
The right stand.

Should I turn left
Or maybe right
Go forward or
Retreat into the dark of night?

No answer comes
No word spoken clear
Quiet, gentle silence moves me
Our bond unbroken here.
~ Patrice

We Sat Silently Together

December 15, 2017

Patrice’s Art & Poetry Blog

We sat silently together
No one saying anything
Silently wishing
We could bridge the chasm
That that silence brings.
~ Patrice

I Seek The Answer

December 14, 2017

I seek the answer
Questioning
The reason things happen.

While souls stand silent
Not giving the answer
The reason.

It all comes with
Living
Within reason.
~ Patrice

Seeking, Helping The World Turn

December 13, 2017

Seeking
Helping the world turn away
From the horrors, destruction
Man has played
No virtue in it, no redeeming grace
Just sadness and wretched feelings
In this place.

Maybe tomorrow
When the sun does rise
Man will wake up and take pride
In making a place where all are alive
Living in harmony not needing
To just survive.
~ Patrice
