Anticipation

Anticipation, excitement brews 
Tomorrow is open 
I just have to put my way on cruise. 

Glide thru the troubles 
Step over the sad 
Tomorrow is my pleasure 
A sum of all I’ve had.

Disappears

Taking hold, making clear 
the world has become 
a place where
no one hears 
the cries of those lost 
those
that have disappeared 

Bring them back, hold them dear  
for it is up to us 
to make our earth whole  
where everyone has a path
can be heard and never again 
disappears.

Song Sing

The sun shines bright in the morning light 
birds sing
and
I can hear
the cricket’s song
sing.

The day is full of everything 
and
along my way
I’ll find
my own song to joyfully sing.

Leaves Turn Brown

The leaves turn brown from green 
Last gasp of summer it seems 
Leaving it’s presence on the ground 
No more to be
Til the harsh winds of winter blow 
And bring
A pleasant, delightful renewing spring.

Love

Feeling the movement 
feeling
the love

Moved to emotion 
blanketed
in love 

Vowed to protect 
forever
with love .

Maybe tomorrow 
I’ll see more to be done
thinking, believing
in love.

The Unholy Light

We have seen the unholy light 
Glaring red on the darkest night 
No reprieve, no delight 
Misery, forgotten mercy 
No saviour
Til the morning light. 

Then there, the beauty unfolds 
It’s saving grace holds 
Helping those
Lost, misplaced 
Keeping safe, shielding life 
Protecting all that see 
Her holy light 

We have seen the unholy light 
We have gone beyond it’s fierce grip
To bask in love all the loving day 
Protected
Throughout the darkest night 
Til rising, morning light.

The World Knows

The heart is held 
And
The world knows
Things will change 
When the mind is not in control.

When I Feel The Tenderness

Patrice Clarkson's Blog

When I feel
The tenderness
The soft calling
From my heart
Let me begin to process
All these things
I feel
In my head
In my heart.

Somewhere Hidden

Somewhere hidden 
In the depths of life 
Lives
A journey beyond belief 
Filled
With delight. 

Dive deep within 
Feel
That life 
Make it yours 
No regrets, doubts
Nor respite.
