I saw God today
He came in such a mysterious way
No bolts of lighting, no angels swayed
Just God
I saw God today.

Coldness, Blizzard, Freezing Snow

Coldness, blizzard, freezing snow
Never ending this I know.

Have to ask will it ever end
This coldness, blizzard, freezing snow?

Where to go?
Where is warm with blazing sun?
No coldness, blizzard, freezing snow.

Your Body Is Your Home

February 26, 2014

Your body is your home
No more
It lies crumpled
On the floor.

High above
Your soul does soar
Embraced in love forever
Forever more.

Let My Memories Resound

February 25, 2014

Let my memories resound
Falling softly to the ground
Let them lie peaceful
No crying sound.

My bad memories let them die
Leaving memories loving
Ones remembered now and forever
As my memories resound
Falling softly to the ground.
~ Patrice

Gold and Silver reign
You have sacrificed so much
To stand on the podium
This momentous day.

Power, strength and fortitude
Along with dreams of magnitude
Made come true
The Gold and Silver reign today.

Stars in every way
You have done the work
You’ve earned the right
To hold Gold and Silver
Close to your heart tonight.
~ Patrice

Gentle eyes that cry
No more
A powerful heart beats
No more
Caressing a muzzle soft
No more
A courageous soul lost
To soar up to heaven
Not here with me
No more
How I did adore
No more
A life lived in greatness
Now
No more, no more.
~ Patrice

The lips are covered
The heart is cold
Fractured love
Is the consequence
To be told.

Nothing born
Nothing bold
Devastation
Is what’s present
Up to you to
Let the life chosen
To let it now unfold.
~ Patrice

That Quiet Voice Talks

February 18, 2014

Quiet Voice ~ Photo by PatriceThat quiet voice talks
Saying things that give me thought
I listen when that quiet voice talks
Telling me what will happen
Giving choices when that quiet voice begins to talk.

That quiet voice has carried me thru a lot
Showing support, holding me up
I owe that quiet voice oh so much
And will be thankful with all my heart forever
That I have heard that quiet voice talk.
