Hoping For A Way

Hoping for a way to belong 
belong to the day 
I see
unfolding 

Reach the morning light 
caress softly the fleeting sunset 
feel the rain 
let the wind blow 
empty
hollow thoughts away 
as
I embrace the magnificence
of an ever-changing
landscape 

This is where
I want to stand 
my feet firmly planted 
belonging 
in
this day, this world 
this land.

Gone For A Day

Gone for a day, maybe a week
Whatever it takes to focus, to seek
A gentle mind in this life I’m living.

So you be careful, you be kind
We’ll talk when I’m back
In poetry, in rhyme.

This Day, This Day Is About To Be

This day, this day is about to be
Whether happiness, heartache it will be
Greet it with joy
Greet it with ecstasy.

For the next day, tomorrow
May never be
You see this may be, the last day
The last day you see.

Moving Pass, Walking Thru

Moving pass
Walking thru
This day
I’ve been given.

A chance to live
A chance to rise
To the heights
I need to be livin’.

A day, a time
Has been given
To me, to me
And I’m livin’.

Well, I Wonder

Well, I wonder what would happen
If in the course of the day
All my troubles went away?

The Focus Is Bright

The focus is bright as day turns into dark, dark night.

Thee Day Is A Day

 

 

Thee day is a day
Not far away
But today.

So let’s play
And be gay
On this bright
Sunny glad day.

Don’t stay away
Come play.

Play today
And we’ll both
Be so gay!
~ Patrice

Just To Say

Just to say
This is another day
A better day?

Whose to say

Guess you’ve got to make it
Not just another day
Maybe the best day
Of any other day.
