Once again I write
What I see
What I’m to hear as the words
Begin to be.
Sometimes so great
Sometimes just grim
But all those words need
Need to be written.
Spoken in text
To those that need them
Those to who
They were meant to be given.

Hearing the breath breathe
Is heartening to us
Cause tomorrow may bring
Happiness or sadness
Or something
We haven’t seen.
But today we’ll hear
The breath breathe
And know
That just for today
We’re living, breathing
We’re okay.

I’ve experienced the very wrath
Of what has come, has been
No remorse felt or regrets that last
No happiness seen.
Let me be away from this
Be and feel pure joy, pure bliss
And that happiness
That’s been evading me.
This I ask, beg and plead
Knowing it’s up to me to be
In that embrace, that love
I want to feel and see.

When I hear the voices call
My heart bumps
skips a beat.
When I hear that melody
I know
know I’m not alone
nor to be.
When I hear the voices sing
sing of love, compassion
everything.

The hearts of men and every woman
Beat, pound a melodic rhythm
Breath taken in, breathing out
Lungs expand and eyes look about
Fingers touch a soft, gentle ground
As feet run full speed all around.
All this done with not a thought
Of how to do it or where it starts
For life begins and only stops
When the end has come
And the heart, it stops.

Suddenly,
in the heart of things
the world turns and it brings
glories so magnificent
it’s undeniably the world’s
best of things.
Suddenly,
spinning round once again
you see new fantastic things
then and there, deciding
it’s best to let the world
be turning, turning into more
stupendous things.

No one else
no one will be just the same
cause as you may know
or can see
we’re all unique
never not the same
not the same as
you and me.

Gently
Lay the burden down
Caress it softly
Hear the ground moan quietly
From the weight you laid down
Feel no anger, no remorse
Your work is done
You’ve travelled the entire course
Now, you are the one
To show the way.
Not deviating
No
Not today.
~ Patrice

Take hold of me
And please hold tight
Protect, guide me
Through the darkest night
Let no harm come to me
Or those I love
This I ask, I ask of you
My sweet love.

When I fall
I must get up
Look to the horizon
Never giving up.
Failure is only a learning step
Nothing happens
That you can’t accept
Learn or forget.
