Don’t Understand

June 4, 2019

Can’t figure out
Don’t understand
My place in the universe
Who’s here to tell me
Who will direct my path
Just where do I stand?

Answers don’t come easily
No matter how many times
I ask
Don’t understand.

Honestly, Can’t Remember Anything

July 18, 2018

My Younger Self ~ Selfie

Honestly, can’t remember anything
Nor who I am in another life
I’m sure I lived and had command
Of all the things
In a life I can’t remember
Don’t understand.

Understand, Don’t Understand

Understand, don’t understand
How the world turns round
Can’t conceive, see the concept
Of what will come to be.

All fits together, all is a mess
Nothing left undone
All’s well and is what
Is the outcome.

A Dark Day

A dark day, a quiet day
Busy hoping the bad will go away
But still anger fills the land
Don’t understand, don’t understand.

Silent caution undertakes
To make the world a safer place
No blaming you, no blaming me
Just live in wonder, in harmony.

Darkest night is all we fear
Not one another, no foe, no peer
We walk in morning not with dread
Only thoughts of love instead.
~ Patrice
