You Decide

March 23, 2015

You decide
whether the storm is cold
Or summery hot
You decide.

The future your’s to take
The path to the left
Or go to the right
You decide.

See blissful rain
Or shattering shame
Your decision
You decide.

Your heart won’t know
Til your ears do cry
And your eyes see what
You decide.
~ Patrice

I Thought

March 19, 2015

I thought of that
And now don’t know why.

I thought of this
And now I feel a need to cry.

I thought of things
And still didn’t feel a thing.

I thought so
And now I know I didn’t know
Anything.
~ Patrice

Watching The World

March 18, 2015

Watching the world in front of me
Busy, gracefully happy
It is what it is and can be.

Part of my dream, my fantasy
Not a word is said, no thunder clap
Only conveyed heartfelt courtesy.

With this and that sitting here quietly
Smiling joyfully
Watching the world unfold in front of me.
~ Patrice

Hunger So

March 17, 2015

Hunger so
Need the help
Not sure why.

Please Lord
Let me not die
Holding on to something
That won’t even cry.

Hunger so sad
Cause
Not sure why.

Helping Those Who Help

March 12, 2015

Helping those who help
Seeking ones who need
Whether it be you
Whether it be me.

Small steps in the midst
Of caring joy carrying
Helping
Those who seek.

Looking Back

March 11, 2015

Looking back upon my life
Things seem to be
Sometimes
Not very nice.

Looking back not sure what
Got me here
Never saw but felt it near
A presence
Being absolute
Holding me with resolute.

Looking back I can’t see why
I struggled so and didn’t die
Think cause it would pick me up
Dust me off, pat me on the back
Saying words “Go ahead you’re not dead”
“Life has still a lot to offer.”

Looking back down my way
I see I didn’t walk alone
Nor did I saunter
But full stream ahead is what I did
For I had my heart, my soul
And the help a presence offered.
~ Patrice

Honestly, Sometimes

March 10, 2015

Honestly
I don’t know where to be
Honestly
The path is winding way beyond me
Do I follow it?
Do I turn the other way
Seek the horizon there across the bay?
Honestly
Can you tell me?

Sometimes
I don’t know what to say
Or just how I’ll find my way
Sometimes
I just don’t know
That’s when I have to trust
Everything will be alright
Sometimes
Everything will flow
To a place I sometimes know.
~ Patrice
