Let The World Go

May 7, 2015

Let the world go
Nothing more to be said
No regret, no should have or dread
Nothing more to be said
Let it go, let it go instead.

Never Saw It Coming

May 6, 2015

Never saw it coming
Didn’t know it would
Now have to accommodate
With everything I should.

Never chose the situation
Didn’t know I could
But will immerse myself
Make it all that I should.

Everyday Is A Different Day

May 5, 2015

Everyday is a different day. Make it a good day
A great day.
A day you’d be proud to say

“I lived through and experienced a wonderful, magical day.”

Make it today. Today

I Do Wonder

May 4, 2015

I do wonder what would happen
If I didn’t tell the truth
Mired down in anguish
I’d may only say half truths.

Please tell me I wouldn’t

Please tell me I would
Be above and aloof
All the lies lying there
No where near the absolute

My absolute truth.
~ Patrice

Great expectations, wonder aloud.
Be in possession of all that is
Bought gently here, on a cloud.
No one will ponder, question or ask
But accept the greatness
One has within them to
Accomplish the task.

~ Patrice

Meddle

April 30, 2015

Meddle
In someone’s thoughts
Stick
Your fingers in someone’s dreams
Sadden
By the way they don’t listen away
Maybe
It’s time to keep your mouth shut
Your opinion
To your own self, it may work for you
But
Only you and you alone.
~ Patrice

Sweet Water Greets

April 29, 2015

Sweet water greets those flying from the south
A long time since said goodbye
Now spring beckons them to our house
Heavy, sweet ruffled feathers
Shook out to contain some heat
Refilled from drinking that that’s sweet.

Tiny and big spring flowers bloom
Holding up their coloured petals
To the sun and to the moon
Sweet nectar deep inside
Lavish feast for who knows where it resides
Hovering there in spring.

Welcome back my little summer friends
Who harrow spring and winter’s end
Let summer too be about to begin
Trust your journey was a easy ride
On currents blowing up
On south’s humid tide.

We’ll share the warm summer’s breeze
You’ll drink sweet water
Til leaves begin to fall
Then on currents you’ll fly away
Drinking sweet water on your way
Back to a warm, south southern day.
~ Patrice
