Sometimes I think you don’t get smarter with age.
You just get older. ~ Patrice

Sometimes I Think

Unforgiving Is The Night
May 4, 2017
Unforgiving is the night
Waxing in pale moonlight
No remorse echoes
Thru this night
Only lonely wails of moonlight.
Sun will come and shine
Making night a distant time
But til then we’ll exist
We will survive
Darkness hiding in night’s cold, ebbing tide.

I Heard Your Sweet Song
May 2, 2017
I heard your sweet song
Calling all night long
I heard a melancholy refrain
Softly echoing down the lane.
I heard sadness
Filled with gladness
Call out
Call out again and again.
I heard your sweet song
Calling all night long
To those listening once again.

Pleasure, Focus Let It Be
April 28, 2017
Pleasure, focus let it be
The main thing
To bring you
To your destiny.
Happiness is not something
You leave outside
But accompanies you inside
Staying by you thru all
Thats going to be.
Laugh, joke
See the reason
The sun does rise
Leaving behind dark
Brooding skies.
Your choice all this be
Happiness, pleasure
Laugh and see.

See The Rings
April 27, 2017
See the rings
The rings of life
See them circle
Bringing
Embracing life
Different colours
Different lines
Going round
Since
The beginning of time.

Butterfly Flutters
April 26, 2017
Butterfly flutters
Breathing in sunlight
Going from left
To right
Landing on a flower
That feeds just right.
Beauty encompasses
Wings in flight
Staying still
Only a second
To take a taste
Of the drink of life.

Let Me See
April 24, 2017
Let me see the art
Let me see the way
Let no one bar my path
But help me
On my way.
Bask in bright sunlight
See it shines for you
Never veering, always holding
Making all dreams
Come true.

Old Lady
April 20, 2017
When I look in the mirror
I see an old lady
Starring at me.
I agonize over
Whether she
Really likes me.
Does she think
Me silly
I can’t see.
But so want to tell her
I’m happy
She got to be an old lady
Just like me!

Heaven Helps
April 18, 2017
Heaven helps
Helps me see
The things I need to see
Feel the things that will guide me
Hear the beauty in everything
Everything
Everything around me.

Sadness
April 17, 2017
Sadness comes and overwhelms me
It sinks into my heart
Envelopes me
No escape can I find.
Sadness reigns, is defined
By coursing thru my veins
To my head, to my heart
Sadness indeed does reign.
Sadness is in control
Is a thought
I can’t help but feel
It steals all love
All sacred thoughts.
This sadness
Great sadness is in my heart.
~ Patrice
Rest in peace dear friend Clive.
