I met a lady
yesterday
kind and courteous
in
every way
Her heart was pure
her words
quiet
not giving away
criticism
no
not her
yesterday
I’m understanding
who I am
cause
she made me
look
inside of me
see
the inner beauty
I too
radiate
for all to see
All because
of
the lady
I met
yesterday.

Soldiers soldier
lovers love
Peace, tranquillity
come to those that soldier on
with love
Make me not
one
that believes
not in love
Make me a soldier
in that army conquering
hatred, prejudice
giving only
unconditional love.

I treasure all
you have to say
I know your words
speak truth
no matter what
comes
what goes away
I will listen
hope to understand
the depth
the meaning
of
those words
You speak
you say.

For a second time
I’m delivering
to you
a colouring page
filled with art
to colour
ponding
the affirmation
too
Download yours
think
colour as you see
fit to do
Cause I’ve coloured mine
now
you go
colour yours too!

I take no pleasure
in
what you’ve said
or
done
It is
my journey
I must concentrate
begin
get done
Yours
is
yours
We may travel
on the path
as
one
But
In
the final ending
we’ll be alone
we’ll be
just
one.

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 😦

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
