The lips are covered
The heart is cold
Fractured love
Is the consequence
To be told.
Nothing born
Nothing bold
Devastation
Is what’s present
Up to you to
Let the life chosen
To let it now unfold.

That Quiet Voice Talks
February 18, 2014
That quiet voice talks
Saying things that give me thought
I listen when that quiet voice talks
Telling me what will happen
Giving choices when that quiet voice begins to talk.
That quiet voice has carried me thru a lot
Showing support, holding me up
I owe that quiet voice oh so much
And will be thankful with all my heart forever
That I have heard that quiet voice talk.

Silly Girl
February 13, 2014
Silly girl go ahead silly girl
See the disaster just ahead
Silly, silly girl.
Step lightly on your tread
Make no sound not even dread
Silly, silly girl .
Make your way
Silly girl to a place far away
Silly, silly girl.
Escape to that place
Filled with lustre, with grace
Silly, silly girl.
Why stay?
Why stay silly girl?
Silly, silly girl.
Live a life of happiness
Don’t stay just a silly girl
Silly, silly girl. ~ Patrice

Olympic Gold
February 12, 2014Olympic Gold
Gives wealth in all things to behold.
In the journey to compete
The soul finds inside things that are best to keep
Power, strength and fortitude
Unbelievable, bigger than all magnitude
Along with sharing, caring, you will succeed
Receiving Gold
Either on the hill or in all that you seek.
That’s a winning goal nothing less than
Olympic Gold.

A Tear Drop
February 11, 2014
A tear drop
Runs down my cheek
Taking with it all I cherish
All I seek.
A tear wells up
Clouding my eyes
So they can’t see
The pain devouring me.
A tear drops quietly
On lips unable to cry
Any words that fit
These feelings I dispise.
A tear falls
Down my cheek
Landing on my broken heart
Whose pain won’t go away.
A tear flows down
Taking with it all love
All joy
I hoped I’d found.
I feel
A tear running down.

Struggling, Churning Round
February 10, 2014
Struggling, churning round
Don’t know where there is safe ground.
Grasping, holding tight
Fighting to see some kind of light.
Struggling
Struggling, churning round.

Feel Comfort In Your Heart
February 7, 2014
Feel comfort in your heart
Feel the gentle rolling start
Tumbling from your head
Putting love in your heart.
See it linger
Going pass your throat
Moving quietly down
To a waiting heart.
Always remember
Smouldering love
Will not smother
It will open up and mend
A broken heart.
Feel the comfort, love
Seeping into your heart
Feel it traveling
Throughout the world
With your soul connected
Always
To a loving, gentle heart.

Snow Falling Down Song
February 5, 2014
Snow falling down as we once again sing
That snow falling song.
It goes on and on
No end to the cold winter song
All about more snow falling
Coming down.
We’d sacrifice to have no more ice
Oh God, that would be nice!
Or freezing rain clogging
Icing over the runoff drain.
Think we’ve had enough
But that’s not up to us
So better grab a snow shovel
Clear the winter rubble
Singing the never ending
Snow falling song.
