My Mind Does Wander

Patrice Clarkson's Blog

My mind does wander
My mind does see
Glories
In all their splendour
From here to eternity
Revel in their existence
Marvel that they be.

Yes, my mind does wander
My mind does see
Beauty all around
Beauty for all to see
Beauty in my heart
Beauty
Caressing me.

I Am Me

I am not a failure 

I am me

I am not a success 

I am me

I am not another 

I am me

I am me.

When The Answer Does Arise

When the answer does arise
May I be ready, not surprised
May I act upon
The words filtering thru
My head to my heart
Unperturbed.

No one else will hear
That sound meant for me
But I must recall
All the times leading up to this
Not forcing me, just acting on
The answer resting on my lips.

Anyone Here?

Anyone home? Anyone here?
Can’t see the sky
It seems so full of fear
Can’t hear the song of birds so dear
Can’t feel the warmth of the sun so bright
Feels cold, cold as a freezing night
Does anyone know? Does anyone care?
Don’t know the answer
Even if the question hasn’t been asked
Is anyone, anyone here?

The Meeting Of My Mind

With the meeting of my mind
Seeing
Feeling all
That can be kind.

Acting on the narrow line
Lost
Between ridiculous
And the most kind.

No one has to tell
The outcome
Or
The story well.

Just be there
In the moment
Give
Offer kindness well.

Figure It Out

Patrice Clarkson's Blog

Figure it out one step at a time
Walk with pride
Sidestep
Even if you have to duck and hide
No matter the reason the answer is there
Its up to you to find out where.

I Find My Heart Cold

I find my heart cold
In charge of no life
Making no sound
Finding no life.

Lonely of course
Hardened and cruel
Seeking no justice
A master I’m sure
That is such a fool.

Sudden I hear
A kindness roar
Blood pulsing inside
Like opening a door.

For my heart is alive
Beating with life
Coursing with love
Creating a good life.
