Hidden Deep Inside

September 14, 2023

Hidden deep inside
is
the answer
to the life I lead, I abide

Words are given no disguise
only truth spoken
only heaven knows where it’ll lead

Be open to
those words you are given
given to guide.

No One Told Me

September 13, 2023

No one told me
what I’d see

No one held me
giving security

No one showed me
told me
what life could really be

Only life itself
gave
that opportunity.

True To Myself

September 12, 2023

No I haven’t
No I haven’t been
True to myself
True to the nature of all living beings

I must in the future
Now and forever be
True to myself
And then, only then
Will I be true to everything

You Joke With Me

September 11, 2023

You joke with me
We laugh till we cry
Life is good
The sun shines bright
In a blue, blue sky

Troubles do unfold
But don’t make us sad
Make us cry
For we have one another
We are strong

We will survive.

9/11 Angels

September 8, 2023

Patrice Clarkson’s Blog

A lone firefighter stands amid the rubble, September 2001 — A solitary fire fighter stands amidst the rubble and smoke in New York City. Days after a Sep. 11 terrorist attack, fires still burn at the site of the World Trade Center. U.S. Navy Photo by Photographer’s Mate 2nd Class Jim Watson. (RELEASED)

9/11 will be seen
As a time of horror
Heartache
And oh, such bravery
When 9/11 angels were sent to heaven
Too much hate
No saving.

Buildings will dissipate
But lives lost or ruined
Will be remembered
Then, now and for decades
The reason lost on most, everyone
Not known why
Most of all by those who died
Really, not understood by anyone.

Life should not be deemed cheap
All life is sacred, revered
That is my belief
Say a prayer, pray for those
Who lost their lives
And those
Who were the reason.

For if we all can see
We must live together
Work together, love together
In peace and tranquillity
Then it will be ours forever
It will forever
Be.
~ Patrice
