A smile changes you
And
The world you smile upon.

Needing Forgiveness

Falling down
Needing forgiveness 
Falling down
Because of you 

I need no other 
I only need
The likes of you. 

You will show me
The way 
To redemption 
The path to forgiveness 

As
I see how forgiveness 
Has
Forgiven you.

The Heart Is Torn

The heart is torn 
The soul cries 
Tears rain down 
From
Sadden eyes. 

No more is known 
None do care 
All alone 
Filled with despair.

I Don’t Know The Answer

I don’t know the answer 
nor the question 
I was asked 

I’m living with 
what has happened 
what has come to pass 

Will it still be here tomorrow 
will it be all I need
I need to ask 

No answers come forth 
because the answers 
are hidden 

Hidden deep 
deep within
the questions asked.

First Snowfall Brings Brightness And Clarity

First snowfall brings
Brightness and clarity to my life 
Looking at things covered in white 
Sleeping now
Thru the winter night. 

To awaken
All new, fresh and bright 
Once spring’s breezes melt 
This
Winter’s white. 

For now I see oh so clearly 
What the universe wants me to know 
I’m part of all life,
All seasons
Spring, summer, fall
and
Especially winter’s white snowfall.

Been

Patrice Clarkson's Blog

As I sit here thinking
Of what is to be
And been
My mind wanders to things
That have passed, have been.

There are no memories
As strong as those
That I’ve lived
Been part of
Those that have been.

Future dreams that I’ll be living
Won’t be nothing
Won’t be memories til
They’ve passed thru my living
Going into what has been.

No

No words to say 
None to convey love and understanding 

No, nothing comes to mind
To articulate or define 

No, nothing
Nothing comes to mind.

I Feel Your Love

You touch me tenderly 
I feel your love 
No matter what happens 
I know I’ll forever be 
In forever love.

In The Early Morning Light

The sun shines bright 
glistening on fallen snow 
in
the early morning light. 

Troubles seem trivial 
anger has not much might 
for pure white snow covers all 
in
the early morning light.

See The World In A Different Light

See the world in a different light 
See it radiate love 
Carried throughout the day 
Into night. 

Let no one be left behind 
Nor dropped by the side 
All carried to salvation 
By the shining of that loving light.
