Heaven sees, heaven knows
All the happenings
We need not
Disclose
Our trials, our tribulations
All our triumphs
For
She knows.
Tomorrow
Heaven will know, will see
Cause
She lives
Lives within us all
Inside of you, inside of me.

I know the difference
Between frozen and tropical land
I know light is not dark
And dark is not light.
I know the difference
Between morning and evening light
The difference is obvious
They are not alike.
But the in-between is hazy
Not easy to read
A conundrum for sure
Not darkness nor light
It seems.

Don’t let me be
The one who cries
Incessantly.
Don’t let me be
The one who mistakes
Happiness
For something else
Something, I don’t want to be.
Don’t let me be
All alone
In the midst of splendour
Please, don’t let me
Don’t let me be.

My heart does weep
My eyes seek
The right in the world
Power to the kind and meek
No one left behind
No one held without tenderness.
Make my heart glad
My soul soar
To the highest
As
My eyes, my eyes smile.
That’s what I need
Without which
My heart weeps
And
Weeps and weeps.

You have known
I can see
All the beauty, loveliness surrounding us
Surrounding me
In the morning
Tomorrow
Will it be the same
Will we see
All this magnificence
This majesty?
~ Patrice
@Patrice Clarkson – 2023
I mustn’t tell
The things I know
Keep them secret
No one else
Should ever know.
Let them be
Secrets known only
To me
Don’t let the world see
These secrets
I keep inside of me.

You don’t know
Nor
Have you seen
The answers to all
All that lives
Has been.
Neither
Have I
None have seen
But
No matter.
We continue on
We trust we’ll know
When
The time is right
The hour has been.
~ Patrice
@Patrice, Clarkson – 2023
Quietly, silently
I move through thee, the mountains, the meadows
So full of such beauty, majesty.
Tomorrow I’ll be in the midst of a stream
Flowing rapidly
Swimming with creatures silently, quietly.
I will fly in the sky
Where birds live, laugh and die
I will be for a while, one of them.
No one will know
No one will be happier, happier than me
Moving quietly, silently.
~ Patrice

Love
Is all we need
Love turns the world
The galaxy
Don’t
Turn away from it
Don’t be all
Alone
When love is there
Giving
Giving willingly
It’s all you need.
~ Patrice
@Patrice Clarkson – 2023
There isn’t any time
To
Make it right
No time to turn around
An ongoing blight.
Let the world know
Let it be said
You stood your ground
You did what had to be done
Had to be said.
