Patrice’s Art & Poetry Blog
In the near future and the past
Everything was aghast.
Not so liked but tolerated
Sad to say, that was my past.
I am aghast I let it past
Say no more and move along
My life is worth more
Than a sad, sad song.
See you there
In that happy place
Full of joy, full of grace.
You will bow and I will chase
All the butterflies that giggle
And face the troubles
I’m trying to erase.
Maybe now it does not exist
Because I showed them
I will resist.
Be ye happy.
Be ye pleased because together
We brought them to their knees.
Here, in the near future
And most likely in the past
With absolute ease.~ Patrice

Such a wonder to review
Such a time we had we two.
Nothing came to pass
That hurt or tested our resolve, our view.
Such a time we had we too
Such a wonder to review.

VIDEO
Stingrays flying
In a most beautiful place
In awe, inspired by their beauty, their grace.
Leaping from the sea
Are they jumping in fear
Running from danger beneath the waves?
Not known for sure
For they may be just washing mites
From their smooth, dark face.
Stingrays flying
Leaping
With a particular ballet grace.

I journey to my home
The place where I was born.
Memories past, life I did before
Some heartache, some laughing then and now.
I journey to the place
I was born, I journey home.

Let the world go
Nothing more to be said
No regret, no should have or dread
Nothing more to be said
Let it go, let it go instead.

Everyday is a different day. Make it a good day
A great day.
A day you’d be proud to say
“I lived through and experienced a wonderful, magical day.”
Make it today. Today

I do wonder what would happen
If I didn’t tell the truth
Mired down in anguish
I’d may only say half truths.
Please tell me I wouldn’t
Please tell me I would
Be above and aloof
All the lies lying there
No where near the absolute
My absolute truth.

Patrice’s Art & Poetry Blog
Great expectations, wonder aloud.
Be in possession of all that is
Bought gently here, on a cloud.
No one will ponder, question or ask
But accept the greatness
One has within them to
Accomplish the task.
~ Patrice

Meddle
In someone’s thoughts
Stick
Your fingers in someone’s dreams
Sadden
By the way they don’t listen away
Maybe
It’s time to keep your mouth shut
Your opinion
To your own self, it may work for you
But
Only you and you alone.
