Holding still, breathing quietly
Deeply
Seeing
life
as it should be
Making
no changes
that would hurt another being
Hearing
magnificence
in
the beauty all around me
Pleased
that I’m here
that
I live now
Holding still, breathing quietly

@ Patrice Clarkson – 2022
To all those I have lost in this life
Did you see me coming down the lane?
Did you hear me crying, crying your name?
I have lost you in the mist of time
Forgotten what has been
And what was part of mine.
Then I hear you softly call my name
Feel your arms around me once again
Trust the world will still be pleased
Even thou you no longer step
Along this path with me.

In the near future and the past
Everything was aghast.
Not so liked but tolerated
Sad to say, that was my past.
I am aghast I let it past
Say no more and move along
My life is worth more
Than a sad, sad song.
See you there
In that happy place
Full of joy, full of grace.
You will bow and I will chase
All the butterflies that giggle
And face the troubles
I’m trying to erase.
Maybe now it does not exist
Because I showed them
I will resist.
Be ye happy.
Be ye pleased because together
We brought them to their knees.
Here, in the near future
And most likely in the past
With absolute ease.

Beat myself up
Curse the way
That got me here.
Need to let up
Need to be happy
That I’m living, existing
With breath to breathe
In this atmosphere.
Forget the bad, the negative
And the sad
Seeing only pleased
And grateful inside of me.
Forgive me and thee
Forgive and live
Live here
On the right side of happy.

Painful aspects
Will not be something
I think of when
I relive my history, my art.
Onward, forward
Must be the march
No hesitation
No “What if my heart?”
Will be positive and pleased with all
Remembering the world
Gives you what you dare to dream
Dare to start.
