Holding On

Holding on to memories
I shared with you

Some good, some bad
We danced in sync

In a dance of life
Just we two.

In My Command

Holding still trying to understand
The health of the world
Of course nothing is in my command.

Just a traveller on this ocean of life
Moving up and down
The good, the bad felt here in this my life.

Grateful for the time given me
Happy I exist, that I be
Maybe tomorrow I will understand.

Until then I’ll live my life
Travelling, knowing
I’m not in command.

This Is It

 

This is it
This is as good as it gets.

I’m here to tell you
That for all of us
It is as good as
We want it to be

Nothing changes
Unless you want it

Garner from
Your loss and the bad
A magnificence
Unsurpassed

Yes you can do what
No one else ever has

Journey to your centre
Find the place
You really are
From there go out
And spread your glory

Near
And there so far.
~ Patrice
