Crying heart, crying times
remembering
those
whose voices
sang
words of love
devotion
all
those wondrous things
Gone now
gone from the world
gone
from
everything
Except
my sad heart
my wailing voice
my mind
that
remembers
Remembers
all
remembers everything.

Already heard
the answer
Made my decision
right or wrong
Will believe
in
that answer
Made clear
and
so profound.

@ Patrice Clarkson – 2022
Holding still
and
finding out
the world
doesn’t turn round
me
There
is
no doubt
Full of myself
proud
dictating
what’s to come about
is
not
who I should be
This is true
I have
no doubt.
~ Patrice
@ Patrice Clarkson – 2025
Let me
see
feel
the magic
in
the world
the land
Let me
step
upon
soft ground
but not
deserted sand
Let me
envelop
myself
in
generous
spirituality
Let me
not
say
anything
that
isn’t real
Let me
be.

I am strong
my mind is bold
I will become
what my heart beats
what is mine
to
behold.

@ Patrice Clarkson – 2025
Can you see me?
Am I
close to you?
Are my lips moving
singing
songs
of
love?
Do my steps
follow
the righteous path
or
veer into
what’s called
a
disastrous class?
Are you there beside of me?
Can I hear
your voice
singing words
in
a pleasant melody?
Do I know
if
I fall
you’ll be there
picking me
up
Supporting me
Till the trail ends
and
we have made it
We are there.

Stranger than fiction
Stronger than life
Accepting all visions
Making no fight.
Believing in heaven
The devil and hell
Make no correction
It’ll turn out so well.
~ Patrice
@ Patrice Clarkson – 2022
I hold you
close
I hold you tight
we are together
thru
the long
dark night
In the morning
when the sun shines bright
we’ll walk together
no fear
no fright.
~ Patrice
@ Patrice Clarkson – 2025
You can hear me
call
you can see me
cry
Yet
no where
do I see you come
to
me
Help me
thru
this that keeps me
trapped
No, not that I’m aware
I hope tomorrow
or
the day after that
I will feel
your embrace
Know that you
indeed
do
care.
~ Patrice
@ Patrice Clarkson – 2025
I have to seek
I have to find
the answers in this mess
make it
Divine
I reach out
I ask
they look back at me
they don’t answer
blank
is
all I see
I must seek
I must find
all
the answers
to make my world
a place
of
peace
So
Divine.
