Patrice Watley Williams/Poetic Lyricist
Lower Level, Higher Ground
So many phases of life
Which direction would they have gone?
With no intrusion
Which direction would they have gone?
If all people were genuinely happy
And no man would tread on another
People departing out of hurt and anger
People departing over what someone else has said
Over partial truths and lies that another mouth has spread
First loves of the young mind
Never realizing the true signs
Of separation that comes with gossip and jealousy of mankind
Had our hearts been more mature
Not to stumble to lower levels
But to climb to higher grounds
To block the haters that impede
Causing one to leave behind first true love
That could have been
What no one ever knows but leaving one to ponder
Leaving one to wonder what we could have done
What we should have done
The mature mind would have talked it out
To find out what all the nonsense was about
Two people who have moved beyond the hurt and pain
Not to remain friends but to regain poise
From all the noise that was planted into their ears
And reconnect on a different level from all the wasted and lost years
Two people who lived their lives on separate foundations
Finally coming back together with understanding
With perceptive minds never to allow another man’s words
To come between them again.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Live to Learn
The wrong way to be right
But no right way to be wrong
Classic lessons of the Bible
Hard lessons of the world
Before my time and after my rhyme
Using my body as a temple
To hold my poetic dictionary
Of soulful expressions
Personal training as I learn
From my unique flow of terms
Regions of embedded knowledge
Finally beginning to make sense
In my daily existence
Changing the means of which I see
And understand
Signs of growth from awareness
Premium sounds echoing in my ear
The vibrations ignite something
In my brain, original words but new
Waves of expressions
No need to protect these words
Wanting all ears to hear
Wanting all eyes to see
My soul plastered on paper
Flowing from deep inside of me
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Simply Living
City living in my heart
Country girl in my soul
Touching the heart
Stirring the soul
Finding my mentors
Forming my mold
Branding my name
Embracing my life’s role
Continuing my journey
Anticipating my star of gold
Learning to give more
The return will triple-fold
Teaching to go for it all
Never placing life on hold
Simply Live…….
