The world spins
it turns round
Bringing beauty
to those that
surround
Their hearts with kindness
all things
that in this world
do abound.

Holding still, breathing quietly
Deeply
Seeing
life
as it should be
Making
no changes
that would hurt another being
Hearing
magnificence
in
the beauty all around me
Pleased
that I’m here
that
I live now
Holding still, breathing quietly

Hang on
Gripping tight
See the light
Let go of negatives
Bask in rays of beauty
Light.
Be blessed
Be right
With all nature
As you let go
Of
Controls you needn’t need
Tonight.

As I sit here facing life
Must decide my mission
The way I choose
To ride the ups and downs
The about face
The turnarounds
No road is straight
No path without a winding curve
Negotiate
Living life on your own terms.
~ Patrice

Snow comes
falling down
covering
covering all that’s wrong
In the spring
We’ll see the flaws
Resurrecting goodness
Starting deep
Inside
Underneath it all
Rising to
Summer’s radiating warmth
And
Onto falling fall
Where fruition
Will be the harvest seen
As things die
In the late
Passing fall
Then once again
We’ll be beneath
Winter’s cold, cold snow
Covering
Covering all.

Unholy happenings
unhappiness
has begun
bogged down in misery
what oh what has
this become?
Let no one stay
in
the vicinity
let no man or woman
be
overcome.
Let joy and happiness
be the ones
we see, feel, experience
and
become.
~ Patrice

Let me feel
love and grace
let me embrace all this
that nature has to give
gives
with love and natural grace.
Let me not endure
for long
sadness nor despair
let happiness and love
prevail
chasing away all that’s wrong
all that doesn’t care.
~ Patrice
