You have been
devoted
to
this way of life
You have given
all
Did you think you had
no choice?
You, I respect
I believe in you
so much
I will follow
where you lead
because
you see
I too
have
no choice.

My heart has seen
Has been shown
The way to go
The path to take
Hearing ones speak
Words of wisdom
I need to believe
Yes
That’s what
My heart has seen
Can hear.

There they are
here
I be
the gulf between
seems like
an
eternity
May we
bridge the gap
may we
be all together
once again
in
pleasant harmony.

Feel the heart
Feel it beat
Sending life
Throughout the body
From the head
To
Walking feet
Never
Saids a word
Rarely
Skips a beat
For a whole lifetime
The heart
It beats
Beats
Beats.

We have not
begun to know
how
vast the universe
our galaxy, the oceans
or
what lies beneath
the frozen snow
We don’t know
How
the sun shines for centuries
not reduced to
just a glow
We don’t know
we don’t know much of anything
yet
we think we do
We think we know.

Heaven hopes
and
does tell
the world’s troubles
oh so well
While seeking in heartache
something
so good, so divine
Let me
not forget
this path has troubles
that’ll guide me
show me
Build a self within me
so strong
so very kind.

Holding on and holding fast
Not letting go.
Til the earth is beneath my feet
The sand whispering in my ear
And wind blowing too and fro.
Then
And only then
Will I let go.

You haven’t been
the one I need
You haven’t been
all I crave
You haven’t been
But still
still
you are the one
I need, I love
I know will be
the one
to carry me
You’ll be
all I seek, all I need
this I know
you’ll be.

A tear drops
falls
to
a forgiving ground
No one sees
that
teardrop fall
No one
no one, not at all.
~ Patrice
@ Patrice Clarkson – 2025
You’re holding
my heart, my soul
Please
never let go
For I’ll be adrift
in
a sea of heartache, misery
seeing no light
no sanctity
This I know, I see
So I’m sending you
my love
for all
that you’ve done
done
just for me.
