Peace and quiet move my soul
Let it function, let it roll
Onto pathways clear and pure
Not filled with tangled webs
Nor harrowing fear.
My feet they move my soul
Directed by time spent
In reverence of all things, all times
Understanding my quiet is
Peace of mind.

At times there are things
You want to say
But the words won’t come
They are vacant far, far away.
How to bring them
To your lips
How to express feelings
Deep, deep in your stomach pit.
In your stomach
They seem to hide
Fermenting, fermenting sick
There they seem sit.

I live in a magical place. Birds sing and trees say grace. ~ Patrice

The reaction isn’t scheduled
But its swift
No farther assistance is taken
No follow up exists.
The universe knows the answer
Knows the procedure
That makes living
Nothing less than bliss.
So sigh a deep breath
For all is coming
Coming to give you
A loving and lasting kiss.

As you move forward into eternity
Stop and look around
See majesty.
See forests, lawns, parks and lakes
See people, fawns and a most interesting place
Nothings ever dull if you but care to trace
The movement of the world
For it’s such a wondrous place.
Please move thru this time in space
With a light and tender thread
So they’ll only know you’ve been here
By all the good they felt
From your kind and gentle tread.

I have been feeling
Not so great
Everything matters
But not at stake.
The life I live
Must be honoured
No too hard
Nor can’t be done.
Understand I can
And
Will overcome.

With all that has happened
My soul is drawing on
Her experience, her knowledge
To guide me thru
The labyrinth of time.
My heart has given all to her
Believing in her guiding light
I will rest
When the time is right.

Hear my heart call
Hear that quiet voice
Murmur words of love
Filling all with grace.
Hear my heart call
Words to ease the pain
Sounds made from
A sweet refrain.
Hear my heart call
I’m not alone
Forever with me
In all my journeys.
Hear my heart call
Listen, listen to that sound
Hear my heart
Hear my heart call.

Going once, seeing twice
The solution and necessary advice
Let be not in vain
Take the advantage seek and gain
A life lived with such divine
Will last forever
Throughout all time.

Everything is orchestrated
Nothing left to chance
No sadness, happiness comes
Just by circumstance.
Delve deep within it
Try to see the why
Know nothing will come of it
Cause just a mortal
Are you and I.
