Let me be, let me see
All the magic unfolding
Here in front of me
Let no one say
I didn’t laugh or cry
In the face of yesterday
Maybe then
I’ll be happy
In spite of all I think
I’ll never be
Today.

The World Is Moving Forward
October 8, 2019
The world is moving forward
The old one has come to an end
The sadness in between is harsh
Sometimes you think
It’ll never end.
Then the dark clouds drift apart
A sun radiating brilliant light
Shines down
On the troubled traveller
Giving a guiding light.

Sadness Streams Down My Face
October 7, 2019
Sadness streams down my face
Dreams
Remembered of another place
Trying to correct wrongs done
In that other time, that other place
No help
Can be strong enough
No help to carry me away
From that sad, sad place
Today.

The Coldness
October 4, 2019
The coldness covers and blossoms
Amongst dead and dying leaves
No heart is safe from these icy fingers
Embracing you, embracing me.
Covering, spreading across the land
Bringing cold some won’t withstand
Then it’s gone
Gone from the hidden, sleeping land.
Replaced by warmth growing
Flowering in the meadow, blooming in a tree
Another season guides life to expand
Spreading across this land
Thats’s in front of me.

Tortured Are The Souls
October 2, 2019
Tortured are the souls
I see
Writhing in pure agony.
No remorse can be seen
Only furious anger
Seething.

The World Is Round
October 1, 2019
I have found
The world is round
What is done comes back
Comes back around
So don’t make it bad
Don’t make anyone sad
Cause back
It comes back around.
Make it happy
Carefree, filled with joy
Then when it comes back
Comes back around
Your soul will know
Truly
The world is round.

Hummingbird
September 27, 2019
Hummingbird safe on your journey be
Many pleasures I’ve had watching ye
Time has come and I must let it be
Trust your flight south is a safe journey
In the cool fall light you make yourself ready
Ready for that long flight
Flower to flower do you fly
Sharing pollen, drinking til dry
Maybe next summer I’ll see you again
Humming beneath flowering stems
Drinking sweet nectar alongside some bees
Enjoying the warmth and raising a family
Right now though, all I see is a hummingbird
Getting ready for that phenomenal journey
Wishing you safe, wishing you well
Make it there and please, come back as well.
~ Patrice
Note: As I finished writing this poem and rereading it out loud out on our deck, a hummingbird came up so close i could feel the air movement from her wings on the side of my head. She hovered…

I Have Found
September 26, 2019
I have found
My life abounds
With great and grandeur things
If I stay my breath
And listen
To all that brings me joy
Love
And lovely earthly things.

Exalted
September 25, 2019
Holy has it
Blessed to be
In the company of the exalted
Those that run the universe
The rain, the wind
And me.
No one says
They are lonely
Nor do they see reason
To be unhappy
Or heaven forbid
Angry.
You will be one
Of these persons
You will be filled with ecstasy
For the exalted
Will make sure
It comes to be.

Show The Light
September 24, 2019
Show The Light
Show the way to go
Forget the pebbled path
Leading nowhere.
There is another way
Let the light show
That way
That way you need to go.
