Description

These are poems flowing out from my senior, quiet, meditative self, yearning toward love and gratitude for life, for awareness, for people and animals, for almost all-that-is. They move between inward and outward life, between joy and frustration, between clarity and confusion, between simplicity and complexity. I wonder about what is mine and what is not mine, as poems, like musical compositions, are often just given, arising in consciousness from somewhere and perhaps from someone, given in their entirety. I can only say thank you, again and again.

DIALOGUE

For those who have sung through me, thank you.
For my daughter, whose enthusiasm and encouragement have repeatedly lifted me.
For those who loved my first book, I am Pat, and told me so, thank you for telling me!
For my teachers, especially Mrs. Lambert and Louise Yahnian, for what they taught and for their encouragement and appreciation. Further thanks to Charselle Hooper for letting me read at their monthly poetry gathering and to Dr. Clifford O. Adams, who was so supportive and appreciative of my poetry when I was a young woman, urging me to publish and opening a door for me at that time.
And again: “Let the words of my mouth, and the meditation of my heart, be acceptable in Thy sight, O Lord, my strength, and my redeemer.” Psalm 19:14 (KJV)

It is my hope that you will read my book straight through from beginning to end, the first time.
GIVING SELF
I said I would give you my life today in this new way
Of words and story-telling, rememberings and
Otherness. I am not free of my body yet.
Soon maybe I will be and then - who knows -
Maybe I still will give you my life this way
Or perhaps others will come inside with you
And give you of their lives, just as I am doing now.
We as people do not really understand with our
Minds but only with our intuitive hearts how this
Flow of consciousness between us brin
