Me and my Shadow
Are traveling thru
Life’s twists and turns
Purple haze of blue.
Me and my Shadow
Have come to see
Opportunities
Of the highest degree.
Me and my Shadow
Don’t lecture or seek
We follow the road
Where it seems to lead.
Me and my Shadow
Have long been together
Together we see
Yet she stays with me.
Me and my Shadow are traveling thru
The bumps and the curves
The ones we need too.
I thank you my Shadow
For all that you do
And standing behind me
No matter what I may ever do.

In a way I can’t understand
The world whirls round
Making no excuses
Denying no light
Or darkness in the night.
I don’t understand
It’s not at my command
How rivers run, showers fall
And the world turns
Again and again.
Most of all I stand
In the midst of this
Wondering
Will I ever
Ever understand?

Kindness, tenderness
All of the day
Hold it close
Don’t let it slip away.
Your heart will thank you
Your soul will say
Kindness, tenderness
All of the day
Hold it close
Don’t let it slip away.

Wandering thru my heartland
Down by the meadow where an old tree stands
No one knows the meadow nor the stream tricking by
Only robins and larks sing the way to the meadow
Where squirrels sleep and play near by.
May my wandering thru grasses
Growing tall in that sweet meadow
Hold my thoughts as here I stand
Seeing love growing old, gracing all
In my meadow, in my meadow’s heartland.

Feel the green coming thru
Up from ground all muddy too
Crickets run across the lane
To get to where is their domain.
Birds fly by tired from
Their trip up north
Gleaming food
from any source.
Sun is weak and far away
Coming closer day by day
Smile, relax know for sure
Weather cures all winter blues.

When I decide
To see, to be
The compassionate being
I need to be
My heart, my soul will grow
Flourish
In this life
I’ve come to know.

Nothing
Works as well
As getting it done.
Nothing
Holds as still
As work undone.
No one knows the reason
Why the hour has begun
Only that as usual
Nothings
Getting done.

Did you ever wonder why
We did the things we thought
The things we did?
No one else could tell
How it would go
It would smell
No one said or did they yell.
Then its over, we could tell
No morse code
No Hail Mary
Or playing William Tell.
All’s gone, all that’s left
Is the wonder why
We did the things we thought
The things we did
So well.
~ Patrice

Feel the radiance of life
Feel it in your heart
Your head, especially your life
Let it glow with happiness
A smile spreading across the day
tomorrow flowing
In what will be yesterday
Hold it all so close
Inhale the enticing smell
Breathing sweet air
As you feel a radiance
That radiance called life.

There in my heart
The world comes alive
Feeling the love, strength
Of those I abide.
Dwell deep within
Then rocketing back out
I be the one my heart
Needs me to be about.
