No matter what happens to me
the world will turn on into its destiny
flowers will bloom, bees be busy
nothing matters except the going
the moving from what has
to what will be.
Save your breath for breathing
your words to speak adoration
of the heaven that has given all
just for you
asking nothing in return
only wanting to be.

Closely, slowly
I come to you
I feel your breath
Breathing
Breathing on me
All around
you.
I see your eyes looking
Past me
Looking to a future
With
Or
Without me?
I can’t answer
This question
For
You.
I can only answer
I want
Need
To spend
The rest of my life
In this world
With you.

The choice is yours
The time is right
Don’t hesitate
Make yourself extremely clear
If it’s wrong
Or
If it’s right
Makes no difference
It’s yours today, tonight.

You call me, you call me loud
I hear it echoing
echoing thru the clouds.
What is it you want?
What has made you call?
I’ll answer in a minute
I’ll answer all.
But now I’m busy
Busy
Making
My own call.

Nobody does
Nobody will
Change the world
Alone.
Still
That’s how
It starts
That’s what will.
Change the world
A change
Nobody can
But
Everybody
Will.

Mustn’t be , couldn’t be
Not
What I want
Want for me.
How can I change it
Where can I go
To make my life easy
Pleasant
Go with the flow?

I’m thinking, thinking
Things to do
Things I’ve done
And
Those accomplished
By me
For
You.
Some weren’t very big
Had no idea was to do
Then
There were others
Huge
On the scale of all things
Remembered
Lasting into the next millennia
Next spring.
I’m thinking, thinking
I really don’t have to do
Anything
Cause things happen
I’m thinking
Things happen
No matter
What I think I should do.

Not this morning
not today
will I be a victim
of
Yesterday

Heaven help me
Be a kind, gentle human being
Let no one come to be
My arch rival, my enemy.
Let me see kindness
Majesty
In every creature
Every human being.
Let no one be sacrificed
Just because
They haven’t seen
The light.
Let us all be one
Together
Loving, holding each other
Very tight.
So that we sleep peaceful
Throughout
The quiet, troubled
Night.
~ Patrice

Don’t let me say
The words I don’t want to hear
Please let me speak the words
That’ll guide me away
Far away from here.
Let me do
What needs to be done
Let it be something beautiful
And nothing
I would want undone.
That is all I ask
That is all I can do
Let me be happy
With these words, these things
I will, I can do.
