I Need

I need a coffee
I need a time
When
Heaven and earth
Are in sync
In rhyme.

I Know

How
Do I know
The right is the way.

When
Will I be happy
Just to stay?

Now
Is the answer
Past has gone away.

Forever
Is never
This I know today.

One Crisis Is Over

June 12, 2017

One crisis is over
Another begins
Accept the challenge
Then begin.

Take note
Of the notes
The actions
The end.

 Don’t worry
If failure succeeds
You can always start
Begin again.

Peeking Thru The Atmosphere

June 8, 2017

Peeking thru the atmosphere
Quietly lying on the grass
Feeling movement in the earth
I’m one with all
At last, at last.

Making Things Sane

June 7, 2017

Organizing, adjusting
Making things sane
Getting control
Of a life
Without laying any blame.

This is my course
My way
To climb to the top
Of a world
That changes everyday.

Write

June 6, 2017

Write
What you need to.

Write
What you feel too
Doesn’t matter if it
Never sees daylight
Only known on pages
Of a book closed tight.

Write
Let it out
Let it be recorded on
The slate that makes you be
What you’ve become
You see.
~ Patrice

Heavy Heart Holding Me

June 5, 2017

Heavy heart holding me
In a quiet place
Filled with
Anguish, sadness, misery.
~ Patrice

The Winds Of Change Are Changing

June 2, 2017

Patrice's avatarPatrice’s Art & Poetry Blog

The winds of change are changing
The known is not here
We all believe in the future
We all want it to be right here.

The winds of change are changing
Bringing the future back to here
Everything we’re holding
Everything so oh so dear
Will soon be far, far in the rear.

The winds of change are changing
The present soon too, far in the rear
The future before us
Hold it close, hold it dear but
Never forget those we cherish
They’re now in the rear.

Spins Round

June 1, 2017

Bull Riding ~ Photo by Patrice

Spins round and around
Holding on tight
Trying my best
Not to be thrown
To the ground.

The future is past
A present not found
I grasp, I grasp
But can’t touch a place
Not spinning round.

Sun Shines Bright

May 31, 2017

Sunlight on Water Photo by Patrice

Sun shines bright
Holding life
With all it’s might
Watch it unfold
As the day goes by
Nothing by accident
Nothing passed by
An insect crawls
A hawk flies
Someone laughs
Watching
A blissful sun rise.
~ Patrice
