Thinking And Planning

Thinking and planning 
figuring out 
what
I’ll do today 

The future’s open 
ready 
waiting
for my decision 

Exciting
these feelings  
I’m letting be real 

First
in my mind 
then
in my life 

And
finally

My heart.

Bright The Day

Bright the day that brings me light
Illuminates my path, my rights.

Stepping into brightened day
Basking in the guiding sun
Warmth of those
Whose love holds me steady
On my path, my lightened way.

No darken soul
Frightened, weakened by remorse
Feelings, wrongs done no more
My path is lit, my light is bright
Onward, upward with my guiding light.

Nothing Comes To Mind

Nothing comes to mind
Resting easy
Gazing, looking at the sky.

No thoughts stay
They all float away
On a breeze filled with giggly feelings.

Nothing comes to mind or stays
It’s just a lighthearted, quiet day.

Stomach Churning

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Stomach churning
Thoughts swirling
Around.

Don’t know
What’s right
Or wrong.

Strong feelings
Moving me
Moving me along.

Get a hold
Get a grip
Focus and stay
A bit.

See right
From wrong
Know which path
To travel along.

Content Is What I Feel

Content is what I feel
I’ll savour, taste, immerse myself in this
Then if it dissipates and the world
Around me is hellish
I can recall these feelings of contentment
Carrying me over any rough road
On this my path to glory.

Tremendous Feelings

 

 

 

 

 

Tremendous feelings
Tremendous help
Moving thru a time
That does not overlap
With heartache, sorrow
Or anything else like that.

Just a tremendous time
To feel
A tremendous time
To be alive.
~ Patrice

Faze The Feelings

Faze the feelings cope and see
Journey harrowing not to be.
Steady, steadfast stand your ground
Bend to no one let them sound
All their misery way back down.
People cope, people be
The best they can
In spite of a misguided destiny.

Today Is A Day Of Sadness

Today is a day of sadness
Grief and despair
Loss of a life dear to me forever
No words to express or share
Only emotions, raw feelings
The sadness
Deep in the empty void there.

Remorse, gratitude
For the time given and lost
Gone forever
Forever and ever
please don’t despair.

Piecing screams of anguish
Going far away, coming back
Today I remember
Say a prayer for a life
And a way gone forever
Forever and ever
Just despair.

A different path taken
Giving thanks for the lessons
Time spent teaching ways to survive
In a world without him forever
Forever and ever for this day
He died.

Hurry Up, Be On Top

Hurry up, be on top.
Mop the floor, swill the slop
Don’t hesitate, get it done
Be friendly, cordial and humdrum.

Your feelings, not important
The  perfect picture is the goal overall
Swill the slop, get it done
Hurry up, this is fun.
