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.

Heartache Breaks

May 30, 2017

Catlady's House coming down - Photo by Patrice

Heartache breaks
And sobs come out
Sadness reigns
There is no doubt
My world will change
I must
Sort it out.

When I Look Outside

May 29, 2017

Bearded Iris ~ Photo by Patrice

When I look outside
My heart does beat
The pressure rise
A world there where all
That breathe must survive.

Beauty, radiance
Seen crystal clear
Waiting for
Another bloom
To appear.

Times can be tough
Rarely an easy ride
Still all enjoy
They do survive.

This I see
When I look outside.

Sadness Fails

Sadness fails 
Crashes 
Hear
The wails. 

Monster crawls 
Full of regret 
Finally getting 
What he should
Get. 

No remorse 
Pity none 
Turn the page 
Forget
The rage. 

Sadness can
No more 
Be part of
Hate.
