Why do I wonder?
Why do I challenge?
Why can’t I munster
All needed here in my realm?
No joke is conducted
No sequence revealed
Just me and my wonder
On that level playing field.

Actually
I have succeeded where I did not think it possible.
Believe.
You will succeed.

Loving heart
Gentle kindness
Living life
Full of love.
Missing you
Missing love.
Remember nothing
It’s okay
I will remember
Yesterday
Brimming kindness
Gentle love.
Know I miss you
Miss your love.
Be you happy
Gave so much
Loving kindness
Gentle love.
Remember nothing
Remember me
Remember love
For all eternity.

Focus
Focus on my mind.
What has it to offer?
What has it to demand?
Let it work along side
My heart
To fulfill all I can.
Focus
Focus and be
The person
Whose made a difference
Whose took a stand.

If I do not seek
I will not learn.
If I do not learn
I will not grow.
If I do not grow
I will not be
The kind of person
I want the world
To see.

Joyous day
Glorious time
Smile and laugh
Feel the sky
Let your legs run.
Smell flowers
And
Taste the beauty
Brought here
By the sun.

Sometimes I cry
Other times
I laugh hysterically.
Sometimes quiet
Takes over me.
How I respond
To the happenings
In my life
Is totally up to me.
Enjoy
Enjoy your life.

Peek beneath
All that covers
See things
As they really are.
Face them square
Confront and dare
All to be everything
You need.
You and me
We can be
More than anything
We dare.
So peek beneath
Accept the dream
And be the one
You really are.

Blend your mind with thoughts of reality, intertwined with dreams. ~ Patrice

Anger frustration
Darkness and fear.
They dwell here.
A moment ago
I drove them out
Back they came
Right back here.
Freedom to lose them
Freedom to be happy
Without anger, frustration
Darkness and fear.
No one to blame
No one to fear.
Muster the courage
Step out of the darkness
Step there to the place
We hold dear.
No anger, frustration
Darkness or fear.
