Snow Is Falling Softly

January 19, 2012

Snow is falling softly
gently down upon a cold
Hard bitter ground
Unforgiving in this season angry
As we struggle to be warm.

Quietly snow covers all
That harsh, hard cold
Making soft and warm it seems
This landscape filled with cold.

Blanket all the world
In white beauty bold
There til spring
The ground does sleep
While we wait for warmth
To unfold.

Springing forth in vibrant colour
Joyous singing can be heard
May we rest in quiet winter
Tucked beneath a blanket white
Waiting for spring to tell us
This is the time to spring to life.
~ Patrice

Heaven forbid
Tell me what I did
Not in a day
But a lifetime away
Away from all I see.
Help me understand
The stand that must be me.
Don’t measure or pace
Race to the end and feel
Feel the trend which becomes
All I cherish and desire
In a life filled with this desire.

Tortured Souls Hear The Pain

January 17, 2012

Tortured souls hear the pain
Nothing in it, all in vain
Climbing out, out from pain
Crucial not to be flushed
Down the drain.

Melody running in my head
Ponder what I really dread
Muster forth the power said
Rock all that fuels
This in my head.
~ Patrice

Dream On

January 13, 2012

Dream on
Dream here and near
No nightmares
Just dreams wonderful
Happy endings closure so secure.
Filter down the wishful
Into dreams fulfilled for sure
Nothing left undone
All accomplished and realized
In this dream world
You have begun.

Make It Better

January 10, 2012

Make it better, make it the best
Absolutely better than the rest
Your heart will soar
You’ll make a smile on your lips
Stand straight, stand tall
Make it better than them all.

Headache Hurts

January 9, 2012

Headache hurts once again
Hoping this will be the end
Probably won’t but then again
Been here felt the pain
Not much fun a lot of strain
Headache here lots of pain
Focus on the happy game.

Sick Again

January 4, 2012

Sick again hard to feel
Pleasant, happy and demure.
Want to lay down, sleep away
But I guess it’s here to stay.
Cope with it, find a way
Make this be a pleasant day.
~ Patrice
