I have found
The world’s round
How profound
Thought it was flat
I’d be falling off the edge
Holding on, grasping
Dangling
That’s what I thought
Then I walked
I walked and walked
Coming back round
To where I found
The start
Never falling off
No, I made it back
Cause the worlds’ round
It isn’t flat
And that is that.

No, I won’t be there
Not sure where
But
Won’t be there
The sun won’t shine
Rivers only wind
And
Trees pine away
But
I won’t see
Cause I won’t be
Won’t be there.

A heart touched
By a loving paw and a wet nose
Is a heart
Forever
Forever full.

@Patrice Clarkson – 2023
I must write something
I must share
See
The best in the world
See it, make it
Let it be.
Then I can rest
Be at peace
For I’ve shared
Seen
What the world is
In
All its majesty.

Seeing visions of what to do
Feeling confident
They all
Will come true
Makes no difference
If it’s
Night or day
Going onward, on my way.

@Patrice Clarkson – 2023
Heaven told me not to tell
About the kind gestures
You gave to all that needed love
So I didn’t
I didn’t tell
Instead
I held you in my arms’ embrace
To let you know as well
You are loved
You are needed
But
Please don’t tell
For heaven needs you
Heaven wants you
There
To do your work of kindness
Cause
You do it oh so well.

Not today nor yesterday
Would I admit
I didn’t
Know my way
It may be true
But
In my mind
I know
know my way
And
Plan on getting there
Before
Yesterday.
~ Patrice
@Patrice Clarkson – 2023
Stolen from my heart
Left to decay
In the midst of rubble
Smashed
Ruined
Just the other day.
Will I get it back?
Will I feel
Love
Another time?
Another day?
My heart doesn’t know
She beats
She hopes
She prays.
~ Patrice
@Patrice Clarkson – 2023
Hoping for, not knowing when
I’ll see your sweet face
Once again.
Will it be tomorrow
Or
The day after that?
When I do
I’ll weep, I’ll cry
For
I’ve seen your lovely face
Once again.
