To unlocking the wonders dwelling deep inside of thee.

Never In November

November 6, 2013

Never in November
Never again
Never remember
Those awful times when.

Put ’em in a closet
Shut the door
And stay away.

Cause
Never in November
Is just another day.

Looking In The Mirror

November 5, 2013

Looking in the mirror
To see a reflection
Of my life
Looking back at me.

I must smile, laugh
For, forever she will stay
In my life
In a quiet, supportive way.

Think The Thoughts

November 4, 2013

Leaves in Fall ~ photo by Patrice

Think the thoughts
That are beautiful
Think the ones that need to be
While treasuring times past
Dwelling in your memory.

Across Rivers

November 3, 2013

Across rivers that quietly sleep
My soul’s heart
Resting, also sleeps.

Seriously laughing, ridiculously crying
Moving thru the atmosphere.
There is no denying this is where
I have no fear.  ~ Patrice

Living In The Past

Living in the past
Dwelling In the future
Not feeling
The grace of today.

Munster the courage
To stay here
If only for just today.

Dark And Foreboding

October 31, 2013

Fall Rain ~ photo by photo

Dark and foreboding
The light does not shine
Muddy tracks are erased
In the water running past.

Grasp the heartbeat make it last
Not lost in the dismal, tragic past
For we are here and must trust
It will, forever last.

Seeking Trying To Find

Seeking
Trying to find
The answer
I don’t know.

Struggling
Struggling more
Than you know.

This is my life
I should know
How to live happy
But
I just don’t know.
~ Patrice

Magnificence Belongs In The Hearts Of Minds

October 29, 2013

Magnificence belongs in the hearts of minds
No longer loitering not defined
Pursue your dreams, be not dismayed
For in your heart your mind will play.
~ Patrice
