The remnants of winter lie
Melting away
Littering the roads, rivers
Even the optimistic sky.
Up from the last days of winter
Springing
To the cloudy skies
Buds emerge
Promising renewed life.
Living
Because of melting remnants
Winter’s last gasp
Her dying cries.

Spring will come and be spectacular
Leaving behind winter cold and white
No more fighting for
Warmth in long days of brilliant sunlight
Can’t wait for you to arrive
To be basking in
Your freshness, beauty and majesty
All things alive.

May your heart be full and your eyes see beauty
Beauty and majesty

No more today, none tonight
Move on
Glow, bask in the broad daylight
Have the feelings
You need embracing you
Today, tonight.
For tomorrow will come
The sun rise
The moon move
Through glowing skies
Giving happiness, joy
All day, all night.
Your feelings
Will be
What you need
The same as tomorrow
Today, tonight
Definitely.

Home is heart, heart is home
Speak softly
Let no one feel alone
Be together
Whether near or far apart
Act according
To the followings of your heart.

How do we know
How
Can we see
Hear the right words
To guide
Our destinies?
Answers not given
Ways not seen
Does
Life itself
Obscure our path
Our destinies?

Totally Unbelievable
Absolutely fantastic
When
Will this happen
How will it be?
Can’t wait to see
All come about
This
That’s going to happen
Happen
Just for me.

Known to no one
Known by someone
Living
Guiding my life.
Appreciative of the guidance
Acknowledge my life
Is held
By a gentle spirit
Orchestrating
Orchestrating me
The best
The best life.

I have found
The world’s round
How profound
Thought it was flat
I’d be falling off the edge
Holding on, grasping
Dangling
That’s what I thought
Then I walked
I walked and walked
Coming back round
To where I found
The start
Never falling off
No, I made it back
Cause the worlds’ round
It isn’t flat
And that is that.
~ Patrice
@Patrice Clarkson – 2023
No, I won’t be there
Not sure where
But
Won’t be there
The sun won’t shine
Rivers only wind
And
Trees pine away
But
I won’t see
Cause I won’t be
Won’t be there.
