The world spins
revolves around
taking lives on a journey
the world beyond.
Grass grows, birds fly
rain drops
and sometimes
lovers must say goodbye.
The world is ours
We make it what we can
happy or sad, we live our lives
as the world revolves round
once again.

Make me be the one
That sees joy, laughter
In all that comes near
Before me.
Let me
Not
See the tyrant’s anger
The anguish of the beseeched
Who need.
No, make me
A place of quietness
Filled with pleasantries
For all that
Come to me, that I meet.

Could it be?
Could it be that I can do
Whatever I need to
To be the one I want
Can be?
The answer
Is in my heart beating
Waiting for me to ask
To see
The path I need to take
To be
Be the best at what I want
What I can be.

I don’t know
What’s best for me
I only know
What is given
What I feel
I see.
Tomorrow I may know
I may climb to the heights
Stand
On solid rock
Caress
The clouds
Feel the snow.
But
For now
I don’t know.
~ Patrice
@Patrice Clarkson – 2024
You can see
I can feel
The presence of love
In
The earth, the sky
All that we see
Touch and feel.
No more is needed
No more
Will be revealed
For this is all
We need
All we see, touch and feel.
~ Patrice
@Patrice Clarkson – 2024
Let me
Hold you close
Let my breath and yours
Intertwine
Let no one
Keep us apart
Together we’ll travel
Follow
Our hearts
Never alone
Never
Be apart.
~ Patrice
@Patrice Clarkson – 2024
Don’t know what
Will become
Of
The life I live.
Will I succumb
To
The world around me
Accept
At all that it offers
All that I need?
I don’t know
What’s to be
But
I do know I can make it
Wonderful, great, most of all
Happy.

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
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.
~ Patrice
@Patrice Clarkson – 2024
Nobody does
Nobody will
Change the world
Alone.
Still
That’s how
It starts
That’s what will.
Change the world
A change
Nobody can
But
Everybody
Will.
