Travel thru life
In a rushing way
Enjoy
Move on
Never stop to employ
Harshness or the madness
Of decay.
Laugh
Cry
Don’t deny
The wonder all around.
Travel at a warp speed
Teeth clenched
And
Eyes about to sneeze
Spreading a happy time
Enough to last a lifetime
For you
And
For me.

One more day to go
One more day
And I’ll be away
Far, far away from
All that holds me
To this particular day.
I’ll smile and laugh
Life will just be a gas
It won’t last
But in one more day
It’ll be enough
To make me smile
For one more day.
Yes, one more day
And then I’ll be gone
Far, far away
In one more day.

I have gotten old and grey
Wrinkles on my face display
Time has passed
And alas, that child
No longer runs and plays.
White hair cascades down my face
Leaving passing time to mark me
Full, I hope with grace
All this happening
With the passing of our time.
Our despair, our joyous care
Prepares us each and everyone
For this time when old and grey
See the life we lived
Full, each and every day.

Monster
Monster deep within
Cold and dark crawling out
Crawling in.
Monster
As he seeps and rages
Destroying all that’s sacred
Denied life pure with love
By a monster.
Monster
Craved this cowardly act
Coming from within
Killing those that should not be
Killed not here or then.
Monster
Monster that’s all you be
Monster
Monster coming out of thee.
Monster
Shame on you
A ugly monster
That’s all
That’s all you be.
~ Patrice
My heart, my prayers, my thoughts go out to those stricken by this horrendous act.

Danger! Beware!
Close by is a snare
Ready to catch you
Ready to draw you in
To make a life filled
With sadness and chagrin.
Please be aware
Please don’t go or dwell there
Your life is worth more
A thousand times more
This I must share
I really do care.
Danger! Beware!

My journey is not over
Yet.
More things to learn
And forget.
Special
Is the time we have
In this life we love.
Never
Ever will forget
All the people, friends
I’ve met.
Journeying on a path
Filled with no regrets
Only love.

Solitary sweetness
Belief in the master plan
Smiling quietly as travelling
Down the path that expands.
Into a meadow
Full of promise and grace
Giving a chance at a life
With no mistakes.
Solitary time
Guided thru rhyme
Hearing the way
Of the master
Guiding with a master plan.
Never alone
On this solitary journey
Always there
With the master
Leading, guiding hand in hand.

Strangers meet
Smile and greet
Never again to see
One another
In this life
We know and be.
No remorse
No sadness
Nor gladness
Just strangers smiling
When they meet.

Hear the water run
Hear it overflow.
Running down
The tree covered
Downslope.
Bringing fresh
And lasting life
To all it touches.
Bringing life
To those who live
Here upon the crest
Of ever life.
In hills of lovely
Lovely autumn life.

Knowing most what is best
Then we can securely rest
Proud we are, there we be
In all our glory set ourselves free.
You can go
I will stay
Dance to life
In my own funny way.
