Lifting up my head
my arms, my heart
seeing all that could be
seeing nothing
that is
empty, lost.
Maybe tomorrow
in the early morning light
all the answers I seek
will be before me
holding me
with unprecedented love
oh so very tight.

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.

The feeder hangs
Quiet and discreet
Waiting for company
To enjoy her treats.
No bad or evil thoughts
Does she convey
Feeding all who happen
To pass her way.
Filled up or near empty
She stands quietly there
Holding something
She lives to share.

When things become
Hectic
And out of place
Step back, deep breath in
Move slowly
At a snail’s pace.
The welcoming of plenty
The loss of all things
filled with empty
Can sometimes overwhelm you
Leaving only a place crazily
Hectic.

Sometimes I let it go
Sometimes I don’t give it a second thought.
Sometimes I wonder what happened?
What changed your mind and erased your loving heart?
Once I was all you knew
No one else you gave a second thought.
Now indifference clouds the view
Sarcasm is the voice heard a lot
No more gentle caress, no more loving thoughts.
Didn’t happen over night
It seeped in thru empty, shallow thoughts
Taking a awful tole on our gentle, loving hearts.
Sometime turn around look back down your path
See me standing all alone, looking back.
Loving as much as I did then
In the gentle, loving days
Before the empty, shallow thoughts.

Sadness is something
Sometimes, I want to be immersed in
Crying, silently
No joy to share
Not a drop, empty, hollow
I just can’t stop the affair.
Sadness does live with me
I allow her in
She stays with me
I don’t love her much
But still she’s been a comfort
Living here, amid my lonely thoughts.
Sadness, she pulls me in
Holding, engulfing me
In a place that’s sad
So lonely
Crying, lying deep within
Becoming such a tragic sin.

So what is it that’s so important?
What makes you strive to be the one you want to be?
The one you need to be?
Is your goal, your need empty?
Or do you fill it with promise?
Does it matter?
Your goal, your life needs to be
It is important
It does matter
It is not empty but filled to the brim with promise
Must be strived for
You can be the one you need to be.
That is important.
~ Patrice

This is a time
When sadness is ashamed
We did not fulfill
All the promises that needed be.
Nothing has gotten done
Nothing, empty, hollow
Reaches out begins to swallow
All my heart wants for tomorrow.
Nothing left, just empty sadness
Weighing heavy on my chest.
