Seeking Trying To Find

Seeking
Trying to find
The answer
I don’t know.

Struggling
Struggling more
Than you know.

This is my life
I should know
How to live happy
But
I just don’t know.

Magnificence Belongs In The Hearts Of Minds

October 29, 2013

Magnificence belongs in the hearts of minds
No longer loitering not defined
Pursue your dreams, be not dismayed
For in your heart your mind will play.

Frost Crunches Beneath My Feet

October 28, 2013

Fall Leaves ~ photo by PatriceFrost crunches beneath my feet
Sodden leaves weep and weep
Fall has come bare bones are cold
The sun shines but no warmth
In this season’s end
I behold.

A candle is lit
Here in my heart
For me and those
Soon to depart.

No heartache will dismiss
My loving wish that
Together we’d stay
Forever and ever
In this precious day.

Maybe it will get better
Maybe it should
Maybe then I can
Maybe if I could.

Pressure

October 23, 2013

Pressure
Too much to measure
Dwelling in the afterbin of heartache
Feeling the pressure.

Want to release
Want it to be deceased
This pressure,

Too much pressure.

Imagine Today Is Your Last Day

Imagine
Today is your last day.

What would you say?
Where would you go?
What would you see?

Would it be beauty
Or misery?

I don’t know
Can’t see
But hope I’d make it
The best day to last me
An eternity.

And you are ready
You’ll succeed beyond your wildest dreams.

Deep In A Wretched Chasm Of Despair

October 18, 2013

Old House Window ~ photo by Patrice

 

Deep in a wretched chasm of despair
Struggling, struggling to get out
Out of there
Fallen down a well of no repair
Intimidating, dark down there.

Feel the walls
Feel their strength
They’ll help you climb back up
Into a life of freedom
Happiness, no despair.

Don’t dwell way down
Way down there
In that chasm, that well
Filled with hell
Way down there.

Bring yourself up, out
Feel the rays spreading out
Warming, bringing joy
Happiness all about
No pain.

No heartache there about
As we bask in the warmth
Of the sun, knowing
We’ll never fall back down
into that dark chasm
We’ll never, ever fall
ever at all.

Pachyderms Heading South

October 17, 2013

Pachyderms heading south
Heading out
In a truck equipped
No doubt
With everything needed
To trek down south.

Bon Voyage!
Heading out
Not having to walk
Way down south to
A sanctuary
Heaven on earth I have
No doubt.

Too cold here
Should wear mittens
On your snout
Heading south
Yes, Pachyderms
Are heading out.
~ Patrice
