Feel the heart
Feel it beat
Sending life
Throughout the body
From the head
To
Walking feet
Never
Saids a word
Rarely
Skips a beat
For a whole lifetime
The heart
It beats
Beats
Beats.

Winners Winning
January 1, 2020
Another day, a new beginning
heart beats
the way is winning
the soul believes in life itself
knowing only you’re not alone
we all have a guiding light
a gentle voice whispering
words that’ll make us
winners winning.

Feeling Down, Don’t Know Why
August 2, 2019
Feeling down, don’t know why
Heart is cold, feeling nothing
Nothing that can be told
Or reasoned why
Angry most of all at what I don’t recall.
Then there is my head
My mind it’s telling stories full of dread
It saids there is no way things will be right
Just give up, curl up and sleep
Til late tonight.
That’s when my heart beats up
Pounding, ‘Don’t give up!’
I can make it right, deep breath
The rest will come
Before falling of sweet night.
Listen
Hear things dear to your heart
Let your mind wander but don’t let it start
The bad, the sad or that which will taint
The faint of heart.

Hallowed Ground Rises
November 21, 2017
Hallowed ground rises
Beneath my feet
Spreading joy for all those that seek
A life better than yesterday
As a heart beats just to stay
Here with us in today
Soft, tender feet tread
On gentle ground
Feeling love all around
Making no enemies friend nor foe
Only love
Laughter is what they sow.

I Can See
October 18, 2014I can see her body lying there
I can see her breath move up and down
Now between life and afterlife
Her mind is slowing down
She greets the ones who’ve gone before
She smiles and wags her tail
My hand it brings her back
She knows it’s stroke she’ll feel just this once more
With silent eyes open wide her heart it beats
No more. ~ Patrice

Venture To The North
June 5, 2012Venture to the north
Up pass the fork
Lined with hibiscus trees.
Gently touch the pure
And quiet soul
Of those that tread this way
So many years ago.
Theirs is the heart
That beats
In the presence
Of all majesty you meet.
On this journey
Taken to be whole
Up north
Where the hibiscus grow.
