You haven’t been
haven’t seen
all the beauty surrounding you
surrounding me
Still it’s there
Validating
love
unconditionality
May you
in the spring, the fall
or
the winter bare
see this beauty
See it
all around
holding you, keeping you
showing
that the world
sees you
and
it cares.

You heard me
and
I heard you say
words I needed
needed
to get through
this day.
You heard me
and
I heard you say
what
I must have
to be
fulfilled, happy
as
I travel on
make
my way

Let me
be
at peace
in
harmony
Let me
see
the grace
of
God
Let me feel
the hand
of
strength
that holds me
guides me
Let me
be
all I can
Let me.

I saw you
You filled my heart
My life did soar
This is all I need
I need no more.

For the sake of someone
you love
For the sake of the world
you live
in
Take care of everything
Be a kind, generous
gracious, living human being
killing
only misspelled words
nothing living
breathing
For the sake
of
joy
For the sake of being
Live your life with no regrets
Live it
with tender, loving
feelings.

You can hear me
you can see me
but
can you feel
my heart beating?
Can you
be alongside me
and
know what I’m thinking?
Can you?
Can you do
all these things
can you?
I’m just asking.
~ Patrice
@ Patrice Clarkson – 2025
No more
Will I be
that one who stands back
quietly
No, not me
I will show who I am
who I want to
who
I’m going to be
Cause you see
if I don’t
no one will know me
I won’t be.

I write
I say the words that
I believe
needs to be said.
I love the people of the world
only wish
they would not
be so intent on living
not thinking
how destructive
each footstep we take
can kill, eliminate
destroy living souls
who’ve done nothing
nothing but try to be
to live.
Take care to tread lightly
as you can
and
together we’ll make
the world a wondrous place
where we live
in
blissful harmony.
That’s all, that’s it
I’ve said
I believe
what
needs to be said.
~ Patrice
@ Patrice Clarkson – 2025
Trying to remember
trying to be
the best
I can possibly be
Living with
No remorse, no sadness
no
not for me
For I will show
the sweet, the lovely
only that
that part of me.
~ Patrice
@ Patrice Clarkson – 2025
No more can I
say
sweet words
that could make your day
No more will I be
the one
who rescues
does what needs to be
No more can I see
my way
to
happiness and cordiality
No more
are
the only words
that say my feelings.
