You flew off into the cold dark sky
Never again touching your homeland
You’ve gone
Disappearing into that bleak sky
Why? Why?
You flew off into the cold dark sky
Never ever to talk, see family again
Did you sink beneath the sea?
Or arrive at a unknown destination?
Why? Why?
You flew off into the cold dark sky
Disappearing into the far horizon
Why? Why?
~ Patrice

My condolences, prayers and thoughts to all who have lost loved ones on this tragic, heartbreaking flight.

I wonder what would happen
If my heart was not whole
But fractured in many pieces
Full of anguish holes.
Would I cry?
I wonder would I die?
Would I be no more?
Can’t help but wonder
Some more.
Or would I mend that heartache
Filling the anguish with love instead
That’s what I would do
I don’t need to wonder or dread.
Now I do wonder
What would become of you?
Would you believe
And come down this happy road
Accompanying me?

Let there be an angel, heaven and eternity
Let it all come together
In the midst of living life with certainty
That all is well
When you have an angel, heaven and eternity.

Sometimes I let it go
Sometimes I don’t give it a second thought.
Sometimes I wonder what happened?
What changed your mind and erased your loving heart?
Once I was all you knew
No one else you gave a second thought.
Now indifference clouds the view
Sarcasm is the voice heard a lot
No more gentle caress, no more loving thoughts.
Didn’t happen over night
It seeped in thru empty, shallow thoughts
Taking a awful tole on our gentle, loving hearts.
Sometime turn around look back down your path
See me standing all alone, looking back.
Loving as much as I did then
In the gentle, loving days
Before the empty, shallow thoughts.

Gentle kindness
Softly touching you
Caressing, soothing wounds
So deep
And pushing wrongs
The other way.
No regret nor remorse
None have come to play
Just loving thoughts
Holding you
In a place of kindness
Each and everyday.

St. Paddy’s Day
A custom from a land far away
Brought here by those coming
To make a new life in a new land
But bringing too a piece of the old homeland.
St. Paddy’s Day
Isn’t it grand to celebrate it
Across the world, across the land.

Yes, I am
I am whatever you thought
I am here
I am happy
I am doing my best
I am in love with the greatness of life
I am
Yes, I am.

Snow blows a crisp cold white
Deafening on this spring morning night
Flying by with a unrepentive no melting cry
Once again covering all going deep down inside.
Some will die in this cold white mess
As snow hungers to hold a grip
Til no life stirs beneath its icy depth
Breeding death, anger and remorse
Snow blows, snow blows
Making life full of needless stress.
~ Patrice
