Hurt, feeling alone
struggling to be me
to master
the method, the way
to
happiness
all that I need.
Not to hurt
not to struggle
but
be happy, carefree.
If only for today
that
I would like
that
I’d love to be.

Feeling the sorrow
wash
pour over me
The anger, the magnitude
of
travesty
Knowing nowhere to go
nowhere safe
to be
Feeling feelings so deep
deep
inside of me.

I have heard your voice
Felt your gentle soul
Know your touch is
What I feel
When soft breezes blow.
I don’t need to see you
For I know you’re near
Holding me close forever
Forever, my sweet love
My sweet dear.
~ Patrice

Hold me, hold me close
let me be intertwined
with your strength, your beauty
your majesty
No more
no more to need anyone
but you
Let me
feel
your generosity
Let me too
give
all I can to those
needing
Needing me
needing all
that can be given
can be.

Living in beauty
Living free
Breathing
In
Breathing
Out
All I want
All
I need
Living
Living as me.

You come to me
You tell me things
I can’t comprehend
Nor
Understand.
It seems those things
Those that you
Tell me
Are beyond
My knowledge, my reasoning
Nothing
That I know of
Or
Understand.

No one seems to know
nor do they understand
the way to heaven
is always open
That
it’s there
Always
at their command.

Let go of my heart
Let it be safe, warm
Beating
Inside of me
Let it not
Feel any hurt or angry
Only love, tenderness
And
Especially
Happy
Let it
Beat, beat, beat
Let it be.

You are with me
I feel you near
you will be here
til
the angels call you to them
Can you hear?
I touch your lips, your hand
I see your eyes
they’ve become distant
in their gaze
I’m sure
they don’t see me
standing here
Lie in peace
lay down with love
for we’ll keep you in our hearts
we’ll keep you near
til our time too has come
Oh my sweet
sweet dear.

Focus on
the beginning
not
the end.
Let your mind travel
down the path
navigating all bends.
Know your journey
starts
at the beginning
and ends when you see
that blazing light.
When
your gentle soul leaves this earth
when she takes
that
loving flight.
