Feeling, Remembering

Feeling, remembering 
seeing
touching things from the past
bringing them 
to the present. 

Projecting then 
to
the future
to be part of my world
forever 
forever to be.

I’m Alive

My heart is empty 
A soul full of
nothing 
I walk thru the world 
a zombie 
feeling, hearing, seeing 
nothing. 

Will I wake 
I will arrive at a place
full of love 
joy and happiness 
a place where 
I can cry
I’m alive, I alive!

It

Not having
It
Not seeing
It
Not feeling
It
Not sure what
It is.

But I’m hoping for
Pleading for
Trying to accomplish
It.

Nothing To Write

Nothing to write, nothing to say
Just looking out
Seeing
An absolutely beautiful, breathtaking day

Feeling

Feeling
The grass grow
Seeing
Leaves wave in the breeze
I know
Know there is a God
And
He’s taking care of me.

A Bluejay Came Looking

A bluejay came looking
For a feeder today
Checking
Seeing whether one
Was on display
Silent and quiet
Not a word did he say
Just looking
Looking
To see if a feeder was up
Fast food for the winter
He was looking
Looking
Checking today.

Sitting Down To Write

Sitting down to write my life
Hear it flow from start
Thru heartache, pressures
And some strife
Coming out full of joy
Learning, seeing warmth glow
Radiating with sweet love.

Can this, could this be my life?

This Is A Beginning

 

 

 

 

 

 

This is a beginning
And a end
This is when we wonder
Where oh where
Have we been?

Seeing thru
The mist of opportunity
Both those exciting
And ones we may
Have missed.

This is a beginning
Don’t miss the opportunity
Make sure you enjoy it
All the way to
A happy the end.
~ Patrice

Seeing Thru Our Life

Seeing thru our life
Seeing all the strife
Seeing beauty
And climbing high above
As the world hands us
All we need to be loved
Seeing this will set us free
Seeing life as it should be.
