In this day of my life
I see the love
Sweetness, heartache
And
Strife too.
I also see
Wonders that bloom
Bring life
To my world.
I’m surrounded by things
I don’t understand
But
Keep me safe thru this day
I was born to.

Patrice, Clarkson – 2024
Go for gold
Don’t look back
The future is yours
Even if
You go off track.
The way is there
Briars may disrupt your way
You could get stuck
But
Know help is coming
It’s on his way.
Don’t look back
Don’t regret and cry
It happened
You made it here
You survived.

Not this morning
not today
will I be a victim
of
Yesterday
~ Patrice
@Patrice Clarkson – 2023
Don’t let me say
The words I don’t want to hear
Please let me speak the words
That’ll guide me away
Far away from here.
Let me do
What needs to be done
Let it be something beautiful
And nothing
I would want undone.
That is all I ask
That is all I can do
Let me be happy
With these words, these things
I will, I can do.

Quietly, softly the breath intakes
listening
to the heart
explodiate
Kaboom, Kaboom
The legs take their feet for a walk
while
the arms hold close the hands
caressing the softness
of love
seen by the eyes
as
the ears listen
to
the quiet heart
go
Kaboom, Kaboom.

No more to see
To feel
My heart is full
Loaded with sweet, kind
Tender thoughts
That’ll carry me through
Whatever happens
Whatever
My arms embrace
My mind has captured, caught.
~ Patrice
@Patrice Clarkson – 2023
No one holds me close
No one
Holds me tight.
Instead I lay
Alone
Throughout
The long, cold lonely night.
Will there be someone?
Will they love me tender
Hold me close
Hold
Me tight?
I can dream
But
Will it ever be
On
This long, cold lonely night?

When I’m here
Then
When I’m gone.
The world will still spin
Birds sing songs
Grass turn green
And
Rivers flow.
Even if I’m gone
The world still turns
It spins
Still spins around.
~ Patrice

Sometimes
Things get old and stale
Sometimes
We wonder what ever
Will prevail
But then
Without a trace
The world comes into focus
We feel blessed
We feel as if nothing ever
Could be wrong
All is new, shiny
And
So very strong,

No one in the world
Sees the countryside, the sky
Others in my journey
Exactly
Just like me.
They see a different world
They don’t see
What my eyes experience
No
Not just like me.
But then
I don’t see the countryside, the sky
Others on this journey
Exactly as they do
No where near
What they do see.
