Deep In The Rest

June 22, 2015

Deep in the rest of sleep tonight
My soul does dream so vividly
Life is full, time is dear
Honoured by those held so near.

I awaken rested, never knowing
Time has passed
Troubles solved and circumstance
Seems not to be the threat I feared
So horribly.

No one drew or threw a veil
Upon my sight
Just goodness does
And will prevail.

I slumber now in perfect rest
No concern, no distress
Awakening to light cascading down
Upon my life where goodness
Does and will abound.

There I Am

April 23, 2015

There I am in my robe
Watching closely as the earth disrobes
All it’s ugly, nasty things
Rising up in beauty
Filled with summer and with spring.
Winter’s cold, bitter hate
Melted here, no distaste
Only warm, fulfilling beams
Creating more lovely dreams.

Bless the ground I stand upon
Know it gives me faith true and strong
Trusting I’ll be here long after
Spring flowers fade and go
But memories of what has been
Or yet to come
Will hold my own sheltering robe so tight
That I know I will be safe
On earth’s soft ground tonight.

Hearts Aflame

February 26, 2015

Thunder crashes hearts aflame in anger
Love
All things no one can blame
No answers right
Nor all wrong found tonight
Only thoughts a hunger for those
Roaming a tortured mind
Late in this cold, dark night.

Sitting Down

Sitting down
To think of something
Intelligently bright and just right
For the discussion I’m having
With myself tonight.

Let Me Hear The Weather

Let me hear the weather
Falling against the sky
Let me see the moon
Not cry.

Let me feel my heart
Pounding love strong
For the one that makes
The rain soft
And the moon sigh.

Let me be the one
Where love resides
In my heart, tonight.
~ Patrice

Lets me dream this dream as I go to bed tonight.

I Used To Write Most Every Night

July 10, 2014

I used to write most every night
About what was my passion
My insight.

Now, tonight I collect my thoughts
Watch the sky
Watching planes fly by.

Can’t
Can’t write no wondrous things
Can’t bring myself to find passion
In anything. ~ Patrice

Gold and Silver reign
You have sacrificed so much
To stand on the podium
This momentous day.

Power, strength and fortitude
Along with dreams of magnitude
Made come true
The Gold and Silver reign today.

Stars in every way
You have done the work
You’ve earned the right
To hold Gold and Silver
Close to your heart tonight.
~ Patrice

Maybe It’s Okay

Maybe it’s okay
And maybe all right
But tonight it just
Doesn’t feel right.

Take care, be right
You’re not perfect
But definitely  all right
In this dusky morning
Of tonight.

Have I Been Honest?

April 7, 2013

Have I been honest?
Have I been right?
Doesn’t matter it’s working tonight.

Isn’t it funny and mostly alright
Why not wander
To the far side of happy tonight?
