The joy of reliving yesterday
Remembering the journey
That was begun.
No regrets to take with us
Only those already spun.
Mystical powers allowing us
To be changing always
Changing none.
We relive the past
And find the peace
That only yesterday
Could give us some.

Turmoil and transition
Ever binding us to the deep
Never letting us forget
That place where we weep.
Struggle to overcome
Struggle to succeed
It will be worth the fight
Blissful when we seek.
Feel flowing over
All we’ve accomplished
The wondrous magic
Of that lofty peak.
~ Patrice
The black veil is lifted. Slowly it raises up. Revealing all that is beautiful and free. Lovely.
~ Patrice
Deadly night giving way
To joy of a dawning new day
Darkness swept away.
Bright, clear light
Soothing frightened spirits
Embracing tattered souls.
Raising up their kind hearts
Holding til they alone can do
Tragic loss gaining something new.
Be kind, be felt
For you in turn
Shall do.

Today I remember
Someone great
Great to me.
Someone
Who gave me life
And is forever
Part of me.
Someone
Who took the time
And began the task
Of making me, me.
Someone
Wise and talented
Knowing when
To be still
And when to be.
Someone
Whose life
Was not often easy
But she accepted
The task
And made it be
What it must be.
That someone
Was my mother
Someone
Always great to me.
I miss you and remember
You’ll always be
Someone great
Great to me.

Secretcy.
It abounds in my mind. All doors are shut there, only opened on rare occasions.
~ Patrice
We journey on regardless of the consequences. We are compelled to go forward. That is the drive for life we all have. All of us. Every human, dog, bird, tree and bush. All of us. We must go ahead, through time. Our drive for life makes us. If we stop that drive, lose that drive, we lose our will to survive, to live and exist no more. We only live if we have the will to live.
