My Heart Does Cringe

My heart does cringe 
My soul weeps.

Happenings in the world
Are full of sadness, anger
Misery so deep.

How
Did we get here? 

When
Can we leave?

Questions – Answers
No one knows
No one speaks.

When I Hear The Sound Of Your Voice

When I hear
The sound of your voice
Life becomes so dear
Clouds part, rains stop
And wrens fly near.

No one speaks a word
No one need say
The feelings felt
To convey how
The world is ours
And
We have all the love
We need today.
~ Patrice

No One Speaks

No one speaks
No one says
The words that will condemn
The dead
To a life lived in after death
Of misery. anger
No justice.

Instead hands hold out
Gentle love
Make the world a happy place
Make the universe
A living, breathing
Wondrous space.

Where hearts are held
Close with care
No one dies
They live forever
In our hearts
In a heaven
Made right here.

Cold, Dark With Swampy Damp

Cold, dark with swampy damp
Crusty mould moves over sodden land
No one speaks nor do they roar
Injustice reigns
Gentle loving is no more.

You See The Stars

You see the stars and the sky
You find the words to question why.

No one speaks or utters just one word
Hearts are full and not with verbs.

What has happened?
No answer why.

Accept the words, move on
See the stars, see the sky.
