Seeking answers
Trying to find
My way through
The sadness
I feel here in my mind.
Rain cries tears
From
My mournful eyes
My lips form words
I hope won’t make me cry.
And my feet
My feet run
As fast as they can
From the hurt, anger
I know, I feel
I have.
The only thing left
Is for me to abide
Hopefully tomorrow
The sun will shine
And
The only blue
will be in the skies.

My mind is dizzy
my heart
is
out of breath
moving forward
in
such a hurried
zest.
No time
to hesitate
no time to jest
just
busy, busy
get it done
then
maybe, maybe
I’ll have a chance
to
rest.

Feel the comfort
of
being here
feel the softness
radiating
from
love so dear.
Know you’re not
alone
you’re held close
loved
beyond the pull
of the world’s atmosphere.

I hold you dear
I hold you
near
nothing will stop me
from
loving you
my sweet, sweet dear.
Our lives
will be
intertwined
your smile will be
a reflection
of mine.
Our feet will
travel distances
together
our arms, as our lives
intertwined.
You won’t forget me
neither
will I
for
together
for an eternity we will be
you and I.

Cautiously and slowly
I move through
saying
nothing
nothing more to do.
My heart will ache
my eyes cry too
but
cautiously
cautiously I’ll move
closer to you.

Heaven lives
Inside of me
Part of you
All of what we see.
Heaven is
Whatever you need it
To be
There around embracing you
Embracing me.
Heaven gives
To those that need
It’s strength, It’s love
Everything.
Let Heaven go
Let it be
Throughout our world
Loving you, loving me.

Hoping
you’re okay
the world’s badness
has left
passed by
today.
I hope
quietly you rest
savouring all
that
comes your way.
I hope
you are well
basking in the sunset
clouds blowing
all your cares
away.
I hope
kindness, love
are present in your life
your day.
I just
hope
you’re okay.

Kindness
be the one
that wins hearts
across
the world
across the sea.
Kindness
does bring
happiness
to all
that feel it.
Even me.

You told me
things
I know you did
but
I didn’t listen.
No I didn’t.
God forbid
that
I listen
learn something new.
God forbid
that
I find
someone like you
who knows
everything
I need to know
and
passes it along.
No strings
attached
nothing to take.
Only
giving
giving with grace.
~ Patrice

No one can, can be
no one can see
things the same
same
as you or me.
Travel through life
live as well as you can
smile
be the best possible
as only you
you can.
