The water weeps to the ground
Soaking all
Saturating a thirsty ground.
Flowers dance between
The raindrops moist
Blooming, sacrificing all
It is their choice.
Clouds thunder
Marching across the sky
No time for plunder
For something in the distance
Has caught their eye.
Now I stand amidst this
I’m part of this
The earth, the wind, the sky
All this happening round
I feel it, feel so profound.

When I suffer a silence bad
I try to overcome the fear
It will last, it will last.
Then I see the sun rise
In a sky filled with beauty
I see that no anger, fear
Nor hate lasts forever
These too will dissipate.
Love will come thru
Speaking, telling
Showing the way
To happiness for me
And for you.

I don’t know why
You say the things you do
I don’t know why
I listen to you
I don’t know why
Nothing changes in the sea
The earth, the sky
I don’t know
Don’t know why.

You haven’t seen
the last of heartbreak or the door
to
Happiness
Sadness, pain frolic on the path
tripping all attempts at prosperity
with
Happiness
They stand there laughing hard
mocking attempts at joy
and
Happiness
Take a breath, a deep sigh
all this will pass and once again
you’ll bask in the pleasures
of
Exquisite Happiness.

The bird flies
It’s wings glide across the sky
Floating on the breeze
Landing with grace and ease
To pick up food and drink
Then off onto
The invisible breeze
A friend, a mate flying next to her
Together, they’ll rule the skies
Up where all birds fly.

No one knows nor do I share
The experiences I’ve had
Way back
Way back there.
Memories remain unspoken
Words are held with care
Just in case those thoughts
Come out
Get spoken somewhere.
~ Patrice
@ Patrice Clarkson – 2020
No I won’t, no I can’t
Nothing is that great
To fight all to get it back
Let it go, let it be
The sun will shine
Regardlessly
I know you know
I think you see
This to be true
In your heart, in your soul
Respectfully.
~ Patrice
@ Patrice Clarkson – 2020
Why has it happened
Where will I be
When oh when will it move on
To the past so far behind me?
Answers
Answers I don’t have
Answers I wish someone
Would share with me.

I feel your presence
I feel your breath
Warm and sweet
Upon my neck.
I reach for your arms
Your body most sublime
But empty handed
Here I stand.
I think I have lost my mind
My soul mourns
Wails a tale of sadness
Laughter gone.
Maybe tomorrow
I’ll join you
In the bye, in the already
Long gone.

Let the grass grow tall and fine
The waters flow while ivies climb.
All is well for the sun glows bright
In morning’s wondrous light.
