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 sun shines bright in the morning light
birds sing
and
I can hear
the cricket’s song
sing.
The day is full of everything
and
along my way
I’ll find
my own song to joyfully sing.

We have seen the unholy light
Glaring red on the darkest night
No reprieve, no delight
Misery, forgotten mercy
No saviour
Til the morning light.
Then there, the beauty unfolds
It’s saving grace holds
Helping those
Lost, misplaced
Keeping safe, shielding life
Protecting all that see
Her holy light
We have seen the unholy light
We have gone beyond it’s fierce grip
To bask in love all the loving day
Protected
Throughout the darkest night
Til rising, morning light.

Morning comes
Then it goes
No one knows where
Where it unfolds.
Melting into day
Hiding thru the night
Breaking once again
In the glorious morning light

The sky is falling, the sky is bright
Heaven helps us make it
To the morning light.
Let no one be left behind
No one treated awful or unkind
See redemption’s path
The tracks that lead our way.
Our souls need not pray
For we are found, we live
We live another day.

I Lost My Heart
Somewhere last night
Can’t find it
I’ve looked all night.
It wasn’t in the bed
We slept in last night
Nor on the table where we sat
Holding hands last night.
Maybe on the pathway
We walked just before midnight
No, couldn’t find it
Even thu I looked
All thorough the night.
Then in the morning
In the morning light
I found my heart
Found my heart unbroken
You’d held it in your arms
All through the loving night.

The sun rises bringing light
To the darkness
Shrouded in the night.
Exposing goodness
Brightness
And
Healing light.
The way is lit for those
Lost in the darkness
Of an unforgiving night.
No one knows
From where it comes
Or where it goes
When we sleep at night.
It just appears
Bringing
Glorious morning light.

Here we go again
Here we are once more
Hold on tight
Rest
Sleep thru the night
Ready for the morning light
Crises come, then they go
In between
Comfort for the haunted soul.
~ Patrice 
Beautiful sun glows light
Filling sky, filling changing night
Beautiful sun does
What nothing else can do
Bringing life
Conceived in the dark of night
Light rises in the sky
As beautiful sun, morning light.

We slept in last night
Nor on the table where we sat
Holding hands last night.

No, couldn’t find it

All thorough the night.
Then in the morning
In the morning light

Found my heart unbroken
You’d held it in your arms
All through the loving night.
