I’ve fallen down
a cavern
so deep
My heart is swallowed up
by something
that
creeps
My eyes see only darkness
black
dense
so deep
My feet stumble
over rocks large
sharp
cutting me
so deep
Will I find my way out?
Will I once again
feel the sun’s rays
enveloping me
warming
me
making me know
I’m loved?
Yes
oh
so deep.

The course
is level
The ground
even
Some move faster
better
than others
Can you tell me
What
is
the reason?
~ Patrice
@ Patrice Clarkson – 2025
No more will I be
something
to hold
caress casually
Oh no not me!
I’ll be tough
filled
with anger
spreading hate
Yes, that’ll be me
Not because
I want to
not because
I need to
Just because
at
this moment
that’s me.
~ Patrice
*It seems this is what many people are living now 😦
@ Patrice Clarkson – 2025
Take me thru
to
tomorrow
let me hear
words
not filled
with
deep sorrow
See creatures
all
big or small
living life
beside of us
no anger
harmony that’s
all
Take me
to
this tomorrow
let me lie
in
kindness, happiness
all day
every hour
well beyond
that
tomorrow.

We colour
we have our way
with
pencils and crayons
all
we need today
For
creating art
creating
love and tenderness
along
our way
Tomorrow
we’ll colour
again
be quiet
let the silent love
flow in
Let the art
become
all we imagined
when
we began
when we did begin.
~ Patrice
* If you feel inspired to colour along with me the first page is waiting…
FREE
until tomorrow evening
👉 Patrice’s Art & Affirmation Colouring Pages
@ Patrice Clarkson – 2025
I’ll create
my Art & Affirmations Colouring Pages
and
colour here
you’ll watch
listen
you may even cheer!
But
That’s not all
you’ll experience
not all
that’ll happen here
For you too
can be part of the creation
you too
can be here
colouring alongside me
where we’ll be
all together
in
a wondrous atmosphere!
Join me, I’ll create, we’ll colour maybe sip a little cheer!

You don’t get to say
who I am
You don’t get to tell me
what to do
No, no
not you
I am the master
of
my universe
my own adviser
telling me
guiding
me
through
All you can do
is
join me on this venture
this life
I’m living
today and everyday
That’s
what you can do.

I know
you haven’t been
all
I want you to be
But
Have I been
all
you need
all you seek?
Likely not I feel
I see
I think.
~ Patrice
@ Patrice Clarkson – 2025
Constantly
in
the morning
Totally
all
the day
I’ll move forward
singing praises
for
those
that made
it
this way.
~ Patrice
@ Patrice Clarkson – 2025
Lick your wounds
Forget your ego
Dust that battered self off
While looking
To the future
See what’s best for you
Feel no regrets
Lose no sleep wondering why
What happened
Happened
Don’t go deep inside self-pity
Know this was a message
Sent
To keep you well
Moving forward
Not
Skipping a single
Beat.
