Maybe when the heart is shaking
I’ll know the answer why
Maybe then the world won’t seem
So dark and answers will cry
Not the black thoughts I’ve heard in my head
No kinder things
The things my heart
Kindly thinks and saids.

Sufficient to say
I love
Love the moon, sun and sky
Leaves blowing on trees
Squirrels hanging from a branch
Fish swimming in the sea
Brimming with waterlilies.
These are some of what
I love
Most of all I love
The one who made
Each and everything
I see, smell feel
Beneath a blue sky, a vibrant sea.

Changes
Are
Changes
Done
Changes
Happening will too become
Changes
In the future
Changed
From the past
Changing
Now evolving
Change
That will ever last.

So much is required
So little to give
Delve deep down
Deep down and dig.
Bring forth all that’s buried
Dig down and live.
Live in the moment
Not in the past
Dig down find the way
That gives joy now
Dig down, dig deep
Nothing required
Except to live.

Suffering through the darkness of day
Seeing light in the lightest night
All is mixed, messed up
Nothing seems sane no one talks words
That make any sense
All are inaudible really insane.
Still I go on
Not knowing why, hoping to meet
Someone who has answers
Who cry words of wisdom
Notes that make sense holding
The madness at a long arm’s length.

Heaven helped, heaven loved
Nothing lost for that is love.
Holding close, holding tight
Living in it’s radiance tonight.

Sacrifice nothing
Don’t let it go
Hang onto something
Let the winds blow pass
All around you
Let them go
Keep that, those you care for
Close and together
Never ever, despair.
Sacrifice nothing
Act like you have nothing
Not a care
Cause I know and will share
That the world will hold
Envelope you
In it’s gentle
Loving care.

We have met, we have seen
Nothing ever will come between.

Life is
What it is
Heart full, heartless
All together
Showing us it is
Life
Life lives. ~ Patrice

The never never comes
Or consoles lost ones, lost souls
Searching in the mist, the dark
For what has happened
What has cost
What’s been lost.
The never never helps
The world resolve
Earth shattering episodes
None that I recall
Only moving forward, heart in hand
Holding out for sanctuary
A soft place to land.
