Anyone home? Anyone here?
Can’t see the sky
It seems so full of fear
Can’t hear the song of birds so dear
Can’t feel the warmth of the sun so bright
Feels cold, cold as a freezing night
Does anyone know? Does anyone care?
Don’t know the answer
Even if the question hasn’t been asked
Is anyone, anyone here?

Looking out my window
Seeing life displayed
Playing out sometimes
In misery
Sometimes in loving grace
I can see no happy feeling
Accompanies
A penitent, sad face
But all is as it should be
All live life
trying not to scar
Or leave a marring footprint
A telling trace.

Grace reveals a gentle kind
Holding love for all mankind.
No remorse or fathom angering
Just love, grace and kindness.
Revealed to all filled
With soft, loving mindfulness.

My heart softly waits
To make the connection
To the world of love
Not hate.
My heart
She softly waits.

Searching for something new
Searching amongst
The breathe of that
That I once knew.
Grasping, holding close
Memories I loved
See them fall away
Replacing now all that yesterday.
Searching for
New memories untold
Searching for a new life
A new mould.
Searching, searching
But no one knows
Nor will they let it be
As of yet, let it be told.

A lot of thoughts in my head
A lot of thoughts
That have not been said.
Swirling, racing round
Racing thoughts
Racing in my head.
Some thoughts I’ve done
Some will rise up
To their vision high
Others will wither, die.
Then too, they’ll become
Just another thought
I thought
In my crazy, thoughtful head
I thought, I said. ~ Patrice

Never, nothing to regret
Got only that which
I need to get
A heart cold, burdened down
Opens up and warms
With kindness shown around.
Never, nothing to regret
The world will come
Bringing all I can reach
And need to get
Sharing too
With those less fortunate.
A smile does it all
Believe
With never, nothing to regret
You’ll receive all you want
And need to get.

Everything is quiet
Everything is nice
But
Everything is not ok
Everything can’t be nice
Hold the past in your arms
Embrace the future
With unprecedented charm
Then
Everything is ok
Everything is without harm
Live the present
Moving thru the past
Holding the future in a grip
That will forever last
Yes
Everything is quiet
Everything can last.

Sadness lingers giving a sad taste
Mental anguish holds memories in
Sadness’s wake.
This too will pass in future’s time
Overshadowed
By weeping and sad crying.
For now I hold my sadness near
All that’s left
Of one life so dear.

Today is the day.
Today is the combination
Of all your past days.
Making today better than yesterday
Because you know more
Than you did yesterday.
And not as much
As you’ll know tomorrow.
So, today is the day.
