Like winter winds that blow
Our lives can be tossed
To and fro.
So grasp with vigour and hold on so tight
To live thru your winter and bask once again
In
A summer’s delight.

A eagle sits up in a tree
resting
after fishing salmon
in
our tiny stream.
Majestic and noble
he doesn’t seem to see
the trials, tribulations
I’m burdened with
as I too wander by
that
tiny, fish laden stream.
He brings it all into perspective
he makes me see
life goes on
regardless
of what I want
I need
I perceive.

Remember when
The world was small
Worries, cares were nothing
To speak of at all.
No crashing down
Of a market
Not really existing
Not at all.
No change in time
It just moved forward
Regardless of everything
Anything at all.
No mushroom cloud
No toxic smoke
No weeping, wailing
All lost hope.
Those were to come
But when
The world was small
None of that mattered
Not at all.

Feel the respect of life
all life
hold, cherish
and
spread the love
of those lives
throughout the land.
Each life
is precious
all lives are great
hold yours
in reverence
making sure its the best
all
that you possibly can.
~ Patrice
Holding in reverence those lives given
so that we could live these lives we have
You are great, you are loved
Thank you Veterans
for your service and your sacrifice

Feeling honoured
and
very strong
Living the best
I can
making believe
nothing’s wrong.
For tomorrow
will be
another day
I’ll live thru it
hugging
all that’s right
leaving behind
all that’s wrong.

Total failure
Is not an option
I’m taking
Maybe drawbacks
Maybe roadblocks on the path
I’m creating
Still I’ll stay
On my course, my dream
My yearning
And
When I arrive
I’ll realize
That I’ve been here
From
The beginning.

I am only all alone
when I feel my heartbeat fall
like a stone onto pavement
cold and bleak.
No words are spoken
nothing to repeat
my sobs, my cries unheard
for they fall down
cracks residing deep beneath.
Known to no one
no one hears their woeful cries
no one reaches to save
I am only all alone.
~ Patrice

I feel a heart beating
Here in my own heart
I feel a sadness blue
I know I’ve lost a time
When I lost
Lost you
Moved on
But every now and then
I think
And that’s when
I find myself
Missing you.
