and white (less expensive) version of The Symphony of Being, "the
sound so alien, loud and mysterious." Also available in Kindle
version.
from out to sea no one knows who is alone tonight crying, sick with
fear and love cast aside demised, compromised, rebuffed clocking
into hope for reconciliation the tide is coming in will smash and
cover take everything that moves out to sea I write poetry to share
with other human beings. I give this book to you, unstrap the
weight of the world from my back and let the world carry on.
This is a book of poetry by Patrick J. Leach. It focuses on the
symphony and meaning of being. The Symphony of Being (the
deliverance) Compelling the way it plays out inside Once born the
mystery derives Gathering momentum In the educated mind The value
of learning goes well beyond Money earned and influence to wield
Getting lost in library stacks Letting the mind go where it will
The powers of discernment Like snowflakes building up on steps
Leading up to my house The morass plays on The symphony of being
The myriad of experience Like instruments playing mournful, soulful
music To tantalize the mind Being human, an unknown journey From
distant place to distant place Writing symphonies on flesh The
tapestries of life In a lifetime given to gathering Money, people,
and things- The ultimate goal is to let it all go These poems are
born of love, heartbreak, experiences, hope, disappointments, all
the things that any of us here on earth go through in our lives in
varying degrees over our time here. I hope it makes your journey a
little easier to appreciate, a little wiser, more loving. We share
so much in common, more than we think, living here on planet earth.

furnace off It rests my mind I love being alone after days out with
people, or Without them working outside defoliating weeds And
blackberries, truth be told I lost my trust in People long ago,
Diagnosis: not very social I work alone, talk to myself Meditate
with my eyes open pushing and Pulling machines on wheels Described
myself as extroverted, The tests I took said introvert In high
school I earned a perfect score on Reading comprehension Not so
high on anything else Diagnosis: obsessed with self Know a woman
who swallowed glass, Called for an ambulance Why would you harm
yourself and Then immediately call for help? I ask myself, why do
one or the other? Diagnosis: dangerous to self You keep moving on
from man to man wondering Why they leave you or you leave them
after years together Growing further and further apart Diagnosis:
unknown I sleep with the window open under 5 wool blankets and a
comforter, By myself, I like my life, feel close to the Spiritual
presence of creator A Foggy Night 1 The busses are all running late
Traffic is bad Tempers are running short The rent is due with
nothing left to pay What is a man to do? My favorite thing to do on
a night Like this is to walk and walk Think things through Make
plans And this is what I'll do 2 The night we argued and went our
own Separate ways it was like this Foggy, congested, dark, and wet
Neon light so inviting to lure you in Take advantage before letting
you go away again 3 What does a man think about the night Before he
is put to death? What does he feel? Of all possibilities, what does
he want for His last night on earth? Who with? Are these not
legitimate questions to ask Oneself on a night like this? Why wait
for a sentence of death? Intuit Fear not death Welcome her when she
comes An old woman heavy with new life Carried on rivers flowing
into new oceans Carried from this to the Next by our angels of life
The Sun Is Down The sun is down The work is done Travails of living
On the mend Time to relax Enjoy peace of mind Meditate on silence
Of this night Before the day begins Again
This is a full color book of paintings by artist Patrick Leach,
