We know we don’t know
Know much of anything
We think we do
We’re sure
Absolutely sure we do.
But
The truth is
It’s not much
At all.
If we look to the skies
The ground beneath our feet
Do we know what’s there
Where it lives, forms and dies?
We don’t know
We really
Really don’t know
Don’t know
Much of anything.
That’s what I think
I think
I don’t know.

Anger boils, seethes deep within
Harbouring frustration
Never to be rectified
Only to
Start all over again.
Piece together the reason why
Look it straight
Straight
In the face, the eye
Don’t deny.
Then let it go
Let it pass
It’ll not be part of you
Unless
Unless you ask.

Thinking back
Thinking of things
That
Could have
Changed my life
Way back
In the midst
Of
Everything.
Not sure
If changing would have been
Better
Or
Maybe worse.
But then
I’ll never know
For
I didn’t do
Those changes
Those thinking of everything
Things.

Holding on, being right
Right on the path
To heaven
Surrounded by all things
Heavenly and bright.
Feel the glow
See the bright light
Know that going forward
Will enable you
To be all that you desire
All you need
Today, tonight.

So long ago
I wrote my lines of love for you
So long ago
I lived my life for you
So long ago
I found I didn’t know you
So long ago
I left, left before you left me too
So long ago, so long ago
I loved you.

No one can, can be
no one can see
things the same
same
as you or me.
Travel through life
live as well as you can
smile
be the best possible
as only you
you can.

You haven’t been
The best person I’ve ever seen
But
Have become
The best person that you need to be.
Kind, generous and sympathetic
You are
You be.
No one else is the same as you
You are the best
The best
You can and need to be.

No one believes
And
I can’t see
The solution, the remedy
To
What ails the world
And
Unfortunately me.
~ Patrice
@Patrice Clarkson – 2023
Seek to find
The answer
Pleased
To know today
I have
The directions
To navigate all obstacles
To journey
Find my way.

This morning comes alive
Breathing new life
In the day
The moment
Throughout all waking hours
To
Evening night.
Never speaking
Of
What must be done
What should be
Left behind.
Only moving through
The day
Bringing everything
To evening
Where to rest, sleep
In the quiet
Peaceful night.
