"Poetry and Insight"

I never wrote before 5 months ago. I began to wake up during the night with words and words; I have written over 200 writings. All have messages in them. Someone or something of a higher power writes through me; I will share a few of the writings with you. All poetry here is copyright ©Patti Smith.

The shades to the windows Of our eyes are things That bring alone with all The feeling of our being To our souls in which Our goals are foretold Until the day we go Without any of our control Which takes us to The roads of eternal life Unto thee we now see Through the windows of our eyes Without the shades only The blaze of light that's so bright Through our eyes which is no Surprise after we have died Remember why and supply the nourishments Of need and feed and believe Of all that you can see And all that you read

Patti Smith October 25, 1998

Release this kiss As !! you can see There is no more Of you and me I'll say something sweet And you can dwell Within your own heat For the feelings of yourself In only which you believe So we will see What you will be In the very end When we meet again In eternity Patti Smith December 12, 1998 copyright by Patti Smith

Patti Smith December 8, 1998

The colored rose is red Until it is dead While the bud was the only thing Which didn't make me bleed From this miracle of bloom In the mid December's gloom Was finding all the pleasures Within as I consumed The last of all it's energies Before it became doomed
