When I fall
you pick me up
my life is saved
My heart
also
is picked up
Safe and serene
standing straight up
I feel your presence, I feel your love
And that’s when
I race
to another
who needs me
to
pick them up.

The rain hides my tears
The sun soothes my fears
My heart knows
This too shall pass
But
In the meantime
It lasts, it lasts.

The water weeps to the ground
Soaking all
Saturating a thirsty ground.
Flowers dance between
The raindrops moist
Blooming, sacrificing all
It is their choice.
Clouds thunder
Marching across the sky
No time for plunder
For something in the distance
Has caught their eye.
Now I stand amidst this
I’m part of this
The earth, the wind, the sky
All this happening round
I feel it, feel so profound.

Not sure, not sure why
the world turns the way it does
clouds stream across the sky
birds sing and cows call.
I stand in the midst of it all
and
I’m not sure
not sure why.

No matter what
The earth turns
bringing light and warmth
on a summer day.
No matter what
Filling oceans up
creating life in the water
dirt and the sky.
No matter what
She moves
speaking words of love
heard by those quiet enough
No matter what.

On the other side, sliding down
The slippery slope
Laughing, crying I turn round
Hope the way is clear
The path won’t steer me wrong
On the other side, sliding down.

Morning comes
Then it goes
No one knows where
Where it unfolds.
Melting into day
Hiding thru the night
Breaking once again
In the glorious morning light

When I hear
The sound of your voice
Life becomes so dear
Clouds part, rains stop
And wrens fly near.
No one speaks a word
No one need say
The feelings felt
To convey how
The world is ours
And
We have all the love
We need today.
~ Patrice

Holding on and very still
breathe light
heart softly beating
and
I will be careful
to
leave the earth
a better place
because
of
me
I promise, I will.

The sun rises
Shines
All across the land
The ground wakes
Sighing a gentle sigh
All across the land
Birds fly, coyotes call
Leaves sway in unison
All across the land
Contentment is ours
To enjoy
All across the land.
