My heart bleeds
my eyes
do cry
everything in between
is
start to live
end with
die.
No words will hold you up
no words
take you down
only your mind
can
conquer
what keeps you
constrained
what keeps you bound.
Freedom is yours
freedom
in
life
start to live
is
my advice.

No more to say
no more
to
do
Basking
in
sunshine
Having a drink
maybe
two.

Closing out
closing
down
Everything
is
at
peace
As
we watch
the sun
go
down.

Heaven helps
heaven waits to save
comfort when you fall
when your heart sinks
and no one comes
even if you ask, you cry
you call.
Heaven stands strong
stands tall
reaching down, lifting up
saving you, giving
asking nothing back
nothing at all.

Where do hummingbirds
fly
when they fly away?
Where do they
stay
drink all day?
Who do they know
to
sleep secure?
Do you
know
know for sure?

How can you
see
what’s near
dear
to me?
Standing
way off
talking to someone
that’s not
me
How can you
how can you
see?
~ Patrice

I saw
you
falling down
I saw
rocks slip
crashing
all around
No sound
could
I hear
no breath intake
no cries
for
God’s sake
Only
falling
falling down.

Already heard
the answer
Made my decision
right or wrong
Will believe
in
that answer
Made clear
and
so profound.

Let me
see
feel
the magic
in
the world
the land
Let me
step
upon
soft ground
but not
deserted sand
Let me
envelop
myself
in
generous
spirituality
Let me
not
say
anything
that
isn’t real
Let me
be.

Can you see me?
Am I
close to you?
Are my lips moving
singing
songs
of
love?
Do my steps
follow
the righteous path
or
veer into
what’s called
a
disastrous class?
Are you there beside of me?
Can I hear
your voice
singing words
in
a pleasant melody?
Do I know
if
I fall
you’ll be there
picking me
up
Supporting me
Till the trail ends
and
we have made it
We are there.
