The world is round
and
comes full round
what is bad
turns to goodness
that
does abound.
Feel the change
the transition
to
beauty, grace
hidden in
sadness, destitute
Maybe tomorrow
you will
see
all this unfold
as
the world turns
round you, round me.

Death is overpowering me
Coming, telling me
What to do, where to go
Where to be.
Death is walking beside me
Holding gently, telling me
Souls who go don’t leave
They too, are alongside me.
Death is breathing life inside me
My time will come but not now
Go live a life full of love
Fun and beauty.
This death tells me.

I have walked
I have seen
The most beautiful
Beauty
I could imagine
Ever seen
No hidden flaws
No nasty seams
Just exquisite beauty
This world
Me
Have ever seen.

I know
I should not believe
That all is well
That’s just make believe
Time has come
To stand still
Feel the earth move
See reality
Ugly, beauty
All of it understood
Accepting, unconditionally
Still believing
In the grace of God
Forever
I will believe.

I have heard the voices call
sound so mournful
I remember, I recall
Voices soft, a haunting trill
makes my heart race
even now, even still
One day I may too
join their voices singing
such a sweet refrain
But until then
I will be in awe
of such loving sounds singing
echoing, all around.

I know
my heart is broken
I know
life has stood still
I know
I must move forward
I know
my head, my heart, my legs, my feet are standing still
I know
that anguish will be a ever present
I know
that tears will flow
I know
I know
but still
still
I love you so.

A smile changes you
And
The world you smile upon.

Falling down
Needing forgiveness
Falling down
Because of you
I need no other
I only need
The likes of you.
You will show me
The way
To redemption
The path to forgiveness
As
I see how forgiveness
Has
Forgiven you.

The heart is torn
The soul cries
Tears rain down
From
Sadden eyes.
No more is known
None do care
All alone
Filled with despair.
~ Patrice
@ Patrice Clarkson – 2021
I don’t know the answer
nor the question
I was asked
I’m living with
what has happened
what has come to pass
Will it still be here tomorrow
will it be all I need
I need to ask
No answers come forth
because the answers
are hidden
Hidden deep
deep within
the questions asked.
