Understand

Understand 
Understand what I should do 
Be
What I should be 
And
Believe in myself 
My being 
Being a kind, gentle 
Human being.

Looking Out

Patrice Clarkson's Blog

Looking out upon the vast history
Of life lived
And made better with dignity.

All is well
And will be the best there is
He saids.

As he reaches down
And kisses me
Upon my undeserving head.

No One

No one 
No one goes down the road
I need to go
no one sees the things I see
no 
no one does

no one feels
the pain 
the shame I can’t conceal
I’m sure
no one does

But up above, surrounding me
is a presence that I know
I feel, I see
holds,
embraces me

Guiding me throughout
this perilous journey
like no one else ever does
no one
no one does.

Me

After deep soul searching
Searching deep
Within
The depth of
Me

I found

Found I could be
The one
The one and only one
The only one of
Me.

My Guiding Light

In the midst of the darkest night 
you are my guiding light 

With the bright beam of morning day 
you show me my way 

You give me life 

You save my soul 

I feel you 

You are
my ever present guiding light.

In A Time Gone By

My thoughts are with you Lorraine and Scott.
All my Love to you dear, sweet Kaos ❤ ❤

Patrice Clarkson's Blog

In a time gone by
We laughed, we cried
We joined hands to understand
The way life goes
No tears were lost
No embrace ignored
We lived it all
Life itself was our reward,

Solely Told Her

Solely 
told her what 
I think 
no anger, sadness 
did I convey 

Nothing more 
than encouragement 
nothing more 
could 
would I say 

Moving on 
believing 
I made a difference 
in herself 
this hour, this day 

Nothing
more 
nothing else 
did I say.

Memories

Memories come 
Then
They pass 

I ask the question 

Did they really happen 
Or
Was I in a dream  
That wasn’t part
Of my past? 

Memories vague
Sometimes
Vibrant as if they happened
Yesterday 
Not long ago 
In a distant, distant past. 

I’ll remember, smile
And be
Reliving memories 
Remembering
A past that was
Really me.

Stranger Than Fiction

Stranger than fiction 
Stronger than life 
Accepting all visions 
Making no fight. 

Believing in heaven 
The devil and hell 
Make no correction 
It’ll turn out so well.

I Hear And Do See

I hear and do see 
Treasures
Beyond
The breath of eternity.
