My heart does
weep
my eyes too
weep
all the world knows
the way.
The way it goes.
Nothing I can do
nothing
I can say
for it is happening
as
was decreed.
Yesterday.

@ Patrice Clarkson – 2026



Quietly
I hold you dearly
Singing songs of love
So clearly
Cherished by those that hear
The melody
Quietly
I say words that hold you close
Words of wisdom for love
For
I love you
Oh so much, the most.
Quietly
I walk away
Never looking back
Never saying
Or
Waving goodbye.
Quietly
I disappear from your life
For
You have learned
All that’s needed.
Quietly.

Standing on the precipice
Going forward
Then
Looking back to see
All those who stand
Stand with me.
