Holding On

Holding down and very still 
As the world moves round 
Round 
Revolving forever 
Never still. 

Will I fall off
Or
Hold on 
Grasping threads
Of what’s to come?

Hardly know
Just holding on

Falling Down, Getting Up

Falling down
Getting up 
Feeling rain
pouring in
Sky
thunderous blue 
Earth
drenched. 

Holding on
getting thru 
storm ends 
Sun shines 
and
once again 

I’ll be with you.

Holding On

Holding on
Holding safe 
Letting go
Not to replace love
With hate. 

It may be
Tomorrow 
It may be
Later today 
I will see the world 
In a wondrous
New way. 
~ Patrice

Holding On, Holding Close

Holding on, holding close
All that I love
All that means the most
To me
Throughout.

All that is dear
No more will I let go
To lose, to discard
Oh no!

Hold on, hold close
Today, tonight
Throughout all this
My life.
~ Patrice

Holding On, Holding Tight

Holding on, holding tight
Trying desperately to make it
Thru the day into night.

No one to help, no one to say
Words of wisdom
Nothing on this day.

Where will I be, what will I say
In a world where I’m on my own
For today.
~ Patrice

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.

Holding On

Holding on
Holding fast
Letting the world twirl round.

Standing on solid ground
I hold on
Hold on, hold on.

Holding On

Holding on
Standing firm
Not backing up just to confirm
Going nowhere but here.

Holding on despite
The awful atmosphere
You will tell, I’ll be told
All the reasons
This should not unfold.

Then on we’ll go
Never looking back
For we’re holding on
We’re on track.

Holding On, Holding Tight

Holding on, holding tight
Steeling to make it thru the night
While thinking of basking
In the broad daylight
Making no matter of the matters
That matter tonight.

Optimistic For Heaven’s Sake

 

 

Optimistic for heaven’s sake
Moving forward
No hand on the brake
Thinking thoughts of gratitude
Holding on to all
No hurting feet or pounding head
Just clear breath
Breathing in and out
Thankful that I’m alive
I’m not dead.
~ Patrice
