All Of That

All Of That ~ Photo by Patrice

Hoping that
the
world turns
the
sun shines
and
the
moon watches
all of that.

Why?

April 15, 2024

Trouble knowing why

Why?

Is the cry
Resounding
Across the meadow
Throughout
The sky.

Birds fly
Squirrels chatter and fight
But still
Still
I don’t know

Why?  

Why? ~ Photo by Patrice

Peace 
Is
The answer 

Peace 
Is 

Why.

I Will Come With You ~ Watercolour by Patrice

I will come with you 
I will walk at your side 
together 
we will face the heartache 
and 
come out the other side.

Understand

April 11, 2024
Understand ~ Photo by Patrice

Nobody can or will understand
What has happened
What will be

Neither does me

That’s why we go ahead
Move forward
Farther
Farther ahead

To the destination
We were meant to see
To be

Maybe then
We can
We’ll understand.

More To Say

April 10, 2024
More To Say ~ Cartoon by Patrice

Tell me more
Tell me what to say
My mind is at a loss
Have nothing
Nothing
More to say.

So you must
Tell me more
Please
Give me the words
Those words
For 
More to say.

Holding My Heart

April 9, 2024
Holding My Heart

Holding my heart
near to me
so it won’t break
fall from joy
into
misery.

I’ll hold her close
feel the veins and arteries
pumping
throughout
my grateful body.

She has been
but never seen
light
hidden deep
inside of me.

Never spoken or cried
there 
she stays
inside of me
inside
my body.

Quietly Said, Quietly Done

Quietly Said, Quietly Done ~ Video by Patrice

Quietly said, quietly done
Now we start
Start back to
Where we were
We begun.

My Father Walks

April 5, 2024

Patrice Clarkson’s Blog

My Father Walks

I feel your heart
Your quiet strength
I walk aside your silent figure
Not alone.

No words spoken
No hand is touched
But there beside me
My father walks.

Sometimes

April 4, 2024
Sometimes ~ Photo by Patrice

Sometimes
you follow your dreams

Sometimes
you do not

Sometimes
you’re lost
looking for the way

And

Sometimes
you feel the love
that
helps you, guides you
on 
your way.

Tic Tok, Tic Tok

April 3, 2024
Tic Tok, Tic Tok ~ Photo by Patrice

Tic tok, tic tok
goes the clock
throughout time

Tic tok, tic tok
does march on
through conflicts
and
happy, pasting times

Tic tok, tic tok
is all we hear
when we meet, love
and marry

Tic tok, tic toc
as
children play
old folks say words
lost in yesterday

Tic tok, tic tok
is what I hear the clock say
as time passes
passes away.
