My heart cries
My soul does weep
The heavens have opened up
And
Took my precious one to keep
I cry
I weep and weep.
Wait for me
For
I know when my time comes
I’ll seek to be with you there
No more, no more
To
Weep.

Snow falls silently down
Snowploughs roar
Spreading sand, salt
Across roads far around.
Oblivious birds sit in trees
Hunkered down
A fox yips, a crow cries
All says
A winter’s day is on the rise.

No one knows
Nor
Do they tell
Why the world turns
And
Doesn’t fall
Into hell.
Maybe it has
Maybe
There we are
No one knows
Nor
Do they tell.

Standing still
And
Breathing deep
The world comes into focus.
Then I know
Know what I need to leave
And
What I need to keep.
~ Patrice
@ Patrice Clarkson – 2023
Sitting here wondering
What has begun
What will take place
What has run to it’s end
What has not.
These are things I think about
I take to my heart
For it must live through every single thing
Every single bit and not skip a beat
No, it must not.

Going forward, not looking back
Leaving badness in the past
Let no one be carried
On a bed of sadness
But
Rejoice, go forward
Pursuing happiness.

The secret is to be able to love
Love
The unloveable.

Let me figure it out
Thoughts run through my mind
trying to see the answer to make everything
I want to happen
come about.
Think seriously, think again
see the path, the way
construct how I’m going to get there
the why, where
and
how it’s going to come about
Let me sit down quietly
take a deep, soft breath in
think
figure it out.

We come to see
The beauty in nature
Here, for all
To see.
Just take a breath
Look around
See
All the magnificence
That nature has given
To you, to me
