No way
Can I see the falling leaves
Leaving anything but beauty
All around me .
No way
Will I be alone for all eternity
For you’ll be there
Beside of me.
No way
Can I hear
The footsteps in the fall
Walk away from all
I love.
No way
I’ll let it be
Nothing but love, beauty
Surrounding me
Now and all eternity.

I’m holding on, holding tight
To all that I love
Now and throughout
The dark, dark dangerous night.
Let no one feel
Once more, ever again
The awful feelings I felt
Way back then.
Let them be good, be great
Let them give me safety
Solace.
Let me
Radiate
Kindness and love.
Let me take all of this with me
As I move through life
The coming year, the day
The dark, dark dangerous night.

@Patrice Clarkson – 2023
The world turns, it goes
Then comes back around
No breath is taken
Except on its sacred ground.
The future is hidden
The past is the past
Nothing now will forever
Last.
Turning slowly, turning fast
The world is ours
Hold on
It’ll be a blast.

Help me hear the voices say
Wondrous words
Spoke in love and kindness
Now and everyday.

Feeling all the love
Feeling
It all the time
Nestled deep in my heart
Beating love
With
Each stroke of time
In rhythm, in rhyme.
~ Patrice
@Patrice Clarkson – 2023
No one sees
All those things
Things of beauty
And
Disgusting things
They are kept
Well within
Inside of each
Brought forth
Out
Only to review
And
To teach.
~ Patrice
@Patrice Clarkson – 2023
Holding close and very tight
A life of beauty
Now
And throughout the night
Let no one come between
Let no one see anger, sarcasm
No, none of that
No
Nothing
May we laugh in joy, in ecstasy
May we live together
In
Total harmony
May life be
Just the best
So
We wouldn’t want
Anymore or anything.
~ Patrice
@Patrice Clarkson – 2023
Tender mercies sweet and gentle
Lead me down
The path of quietness
Overhearing no call of dread
Just
The thumping of my beating heart
Beating love
Instead.
~ Patrice
@Patrice Clarkson – 2023
I have found
The world is round
What is done comes back
Comes back around
So don’t make it bad
Don’t make anyone sad
Cause back
It comes back around.
Make it happy
Carefree, filled with joy
Then when it comes back
Comes back around
Your soul will know
Truly
The world is round.

You don’t know and I won’t tell
The secrets kept
That do dwell deep beneath the sky
In plain sight
But blind to the naked, uncaring eye.
See you when your heart opens up
Your eyes do speak
And your mouth remains shut
Then you’ll know
The secrets I speak about
Then we’ll laugh and dance about.
