Seriously laughing, ridiculously crying
Moving thru the atmosphere.
There is no denying this is where
I have no fear.  ~ Patrice

Living In The Past

Living in the past
Dwelling In the future
Not feeling
The grace of today.

Munster the courage
To stay here
If only for just today.

Dark And Foreboding

October 31, 2013

Dark and foreboding
The light does not shine
Muddy tracks are erased
In the water running past.

Grasp the heartbeat make it last
Not lost in the dismal, tragic past
For we are here and must trust
It will, forever last.

Seeking Trying To Find

Seeking
Trying to find
The answer
I don’t know.

Struggling
Struggling more
Than you know.

This is my life
I should know
How to live happy
But
I just don’t know.

Magnificence Belongs In The Hearts Of Minds

October 29, 2013

Magnificence belongs in the hearts of minds
No longer loitering not defined
Pursue your dreams, be not dismayed
For in your heart your mind will play.

Frost Crunches Beneath My Feet

October 28, 2013

Fall Leaves ~ photo by PatriceFrost crunches beneath my feet
Sodden leaves weep and weep
Fall has come bare bones are cold
The sun shines but no warmth
In this season’s end
I behold.

A Candle Is Lit

A candle is lit
Here in my heart
For me and those
Soon to depart.

No heartache will dismiss
My loving wish that
Together we’d stay
Forever and ever
In this precious day.

Maybe it will get better
Maybe it should
Maybe then I can
Maybe if I could.

Pressure

October 23, 2013

Pressure
Too much to measure
Dwelling in the afterbin of heartache
Feeling the pressure.

Want to release
Want it to be deceased
This pressure,

Too much pressure.

Imagine Today Is Your Last Day

October 22, 2013

Morning Glory Fall ~ photo by Patrice

 

 

 

 

Imagine
Today is your last day.

What would you say?
Where would you go?
What would you see?

Would it be beauty
Or misery?

I don’t know
Can’t see
But hope I’d make it
The best day to last me
An eternity.
~ Patrice
