A token of my gratitude
Shapes the way
I meet the day
Up to me
To see lovely beauty
In every thing, every way
There is badness
In the air
But no need to bring it in.
Let it go
Let it go away
You can deal with it
Another time, another day.

Hold your horses
Be at peace
Let the world pass by
One hour at a time
No rush
No strong words
Do you speak.

The choice is yours
The time is right
Don’t hesitate
Make yourself extremely clear
If it’s wrong
Or
If it’s right
Makes no difference
It’s yours today, tonight.

Nobody does
Nobody will
Change the world
Alone.
Still
That’s how
It starts
That’s what will.
Change the world
A change
Nobody can
But
Everybody
Will.

Not this morning
not today
will I be a victim
of
Yesterday
~ Patrice
@Patrice Clarkson – 2023
Nobody can, nobody will
Live in my heart
Until
I live there too.
If
I love me
Then only then
Can
I love you.
~ Patrice
@Patrice Clarkson – 2023
Caught in the midst
of
all I see
drifting
with the spirit that
guides me.
When my destination
comes into view
will I stand or run
or
will I
wait for you?

No one can help
Me
See the beauty
The majesty
Only one
To
Help me
Is
Me
Me alone
Can see all this
Around and before the likes
Of
Little mortal me.
~ Patrice
@Patrice Clarkson – 2023
No more to say
No more
Today
No more coming tomorrow
Or
Needless to say
Yesterday.
Cry if you wish
But say
Say what you need to
Til you have
No more
No more to say.
~ Patrice
@Patrice Clarkson – 2023
Waiting to hear
the voice say words
I need to hear
Each
Each and every day.
Emotion comes in
Filling my heart with tenderness
Leaving no room
For hatred or anger
To stay.
May I hear and say
Those words
Then give them all away
To ones that need
Need them most
Today
~ Patrice
