Aww yes, still true today
Patrice’s Art & Poetry Blog

Trying to make
All my work complete
Make things tidy
Tidy and neat
Exhaustive work
Mental trying times
When and where
Did I get so much
So much to do
In so little time?

My heart aches
my soul cries
for a time
of clear innocence
a time that time
has taken
to the past
No more to feel
to bask
in rays of light
hearted laughs
Sadness overwhelms
hurt
seems to last
til no more tears left
to sob
crying for the now
distance past.

Figuring
trying to figure it out
can’t understand
the way, the procedure
to get it done
figured out.
Will work on it
I’ll think about
what may be the way
to do this, get it done
to
figure it out.

See me be
The best
I can possibly be
No sacrifice
No sleepless nights
No what if’s
or
Buts
Just
Just the best
Me
I can be.

Hoping for a way to belong
belong to the day
I see
unfolding
Reach the morning light
caress softly the fleeting sunset
feel the rain
let the wind blow
empty
hollow thoughts away
as
I embrace the magnificence
of an ever-changing
landscape
This is where
I want to stand
my feet firmly planted
belonging
in
this day, this world
this land.

Clouds part, sun rises
Filling all hearts
With peace
Warmth and gratitude.
Joy comes to mind
As day winds down
Folding into night
Star studded.
Holding tight
Precious souls
In their solitary walk
Through life.

I seek but will I find
The lost, hidden
The divine.
No path is shown
No way is clear
Trudging onward
Holding on to thoughts
Of what may be
Near.
Maybe passed by
Shrugged off
Not
Realizing
Sometimes
Good things
Stand
Being there for me
To embrace
Hiding
In
Plain sight.

Feeling, remembering
seeing
touching things from the past
bringing them
to the present.
Projecting them
to
the future
to be part of my world
forever
forever to be.

A sadness deep inside
festering, crying
pleading
to be let out
let outside.
To be free
to wander, find solace
be happy
come alive
This is all
that
sadness asks
all’s needed
for that sadness deep
deep inside.
