Learn the lesson
You’ve been given
Accept the consequences
To be learned
Don’t wonder why
The world turns.
Your answers, your lesson
Will be learned
As the universe, nature discerns
You need to know
Need to learn.

The sun breaks
over a brown earth
Left as if dead from winter storms
But then
In the midst of all broke
Deemed dead and dying
Is a small green shoot
Emerging
Bringing life
To a winter weary land.
The warm sun gives life
Nurtures
The rising ones
Spring
Has come
As winter retreats
Only
On a later day
To blast
Blow once again.
The sun then rests
Satisfied
she has done her best
Thou
She too
Will be back
Tomorrow
To nurture, bring life
With a warm, radiating
Spring sun.

No more
To be sad or happy
No more to say
Those words
I didn’t want to say.
All is finished
Completed in every way
Now is the time
To be just me
Just me all day.

In retrospect
I see so clearly
The problems I had
Answers
That evaded me
In retrospect
I could have
Done things
Differently
In retrospect
I know my life
Could have been
Changed drastically
But
In retrospect
Then I would not be
The person I’ve become
I need to be
In retrospect.

I struggle to be
Someone
I’m not.
The reason I do
Can’t be understood
Can’t be
Reasoned away
With
Just any thought.
~ Patrice
@Patrice Clarkson – 2024
No way to go
No way to know
The path that’s right
One that doesn’t veer left
Nor
To the right
Straight as an arrow
Moving thru obstacles
Moving
Directly through
The dark
Sinister night
To a salvation
So glorious, so right
But
I don’t know that way
The way to go
Today, tonight
Don’t know
Either
What’s wrong
Or
What could be
Right.

Solely heard, solely said
Those words
That
Were racing
Racing around my head.
Are they good?
Are they bad?
Answers in between
Something I’ve seen
But
Never had.

The world spins
revolves around
taking lives on a journey
the world beyond.
Grass grows, birds fly
rain drops
and sometimes
lovers must say goodbye.
The world is ours
We make it what we can
happy or sad, we live our lives
as the world revolves round
once again.

Make me be the one
That sees joy, laughter
In all that comes near
Before me.
Let me
Not
See the tyrant’s anger
The anguish of the beseeched
Who need.
No, make me
A place of quietness
Filled with pleasantries
For all that
Come to me, that I meet.
~ Patrice

It hasn’t been
The easiest thing
It hasn’t been
Toil, stress
Heartache and distress
What a mess
Easy
It hasn’t been
Tomorrow, next week
Maybe
Next year
Things will be
Easy
Simple and clear
But
Today
Today, it hasn’t been.
