Pleasantly

Pleasantly helping, pleasantly being 
the most my world
my life, myself
can be. 

There’s no better one to know
then me 
there’s nothing I want, desire 
except to be. 

The one who loves
cares and sees
beauty in all life and pleasantly being
all I can be.

Did You See?

Patrice Clarkson's Blog

Did you see?
Did you see the beauty
Reigning all around me?

Did you see the magnificence
Holding me
Embracing me?

Did you see the soul
Who told me
I was loved unconditionally?

Did you see, did you see?

I Feel Your Presence

I feel your presence  
Your breath softly
Falling in and out 

I hear your call 
Your mournful voice 
Reaching out 

I remember
Your presence here 
Now gone 

I miss you 
I miss you so 
My love 

You’re all 
All
I think about.

A Hummingbird Came

A hummingbird came to my window 
today 
not seen since 
in the fall 
when they all 
flew away. 

Sweet nectar she’s looking for 
needs right away 
hovering, looking in 
she tells me. 

Get it ready! 
Get it ready! 
Get it ready right away! 

The little hummingbird 
is 
hungry 
she’s flown such a distance 
from far 
far away. 

Now needs 
some sweet substance 
til 
all the blooms 
are 
on display. 

A hummingbird came to my window 
and 
told me all this 
just this morning 
just today.

The Feeling Of Giving

Tremendous
the feeling of giving 
giving love
support
and
everything 
needed to make
life lived 
in
peace and harmony. 

Tremendous it is
to give, to give.

Run to Restore Nature

I’m participating in WWF’s Run to Restore Nature, and today is the first day!
I’m running 2.5 kms each day for the next 4 days, to raise funds to help create a world where nature and people thrive and live in harmony.
I’d really love your support to help me reach my fundraising goal of $75.00.

Bright And Sunny

Bright and sunny

excited, anticipating
such a brilliant, wondrous day 

Let’s play! Let’s play!

I Saw

Patrice Clarkson's Blog

I saw a chipmunk sleeping lazily
Enjoying the day
Quietly.

I saw a dog splashing
Playing in the water
All alone.

I saw a deer eat seeds
From my deck
Secretly.

I saw a tree fall
Smashing all.

I saw ants marching across sand
With a leaf in their mouth
They ran.

I saw a dog cry
Mourning the loss of one
Who’d died.

I saw a tree upside down
How could this be?

I saw a bumblebee sip nectar
Quietly.

I saw a fawn cry
Plaintively.

I saw a stingray fly
Majestically.

I saw a crocodile up close
So scary.

I saw life abound
But none, not a soul, no one
Saw me around.

When I Look Out To Sea

When I look out to sea 
I see you looking
looking back over
just at me 

The waves roll in
and
back out again 
bringing with them 
a message from overseas 
a message
you sent just for me 

In my thoughts I touch your lips 
say words of love 
then send them
on the wind 
over water, overseas 
to you with love 
just from me.

Lifting Up My Head

Lifting up my head
my arms, my heart 
seeing all that could be 
seeing nothing 
that is 
empty, lost. 

Maybe tomorrow 
in the early morning light 
all the answers I seek 
will be before me 
holding me
with unprecedented love
oh so very tight.

Hear The Heart Beat

Hear the heart
beat quietly 
the sound
goes thru each day 
to eternity 

My heart,
the heart continuously
breathing
life in the body 
sight to the soul 
beauty
for all to see 

Forever beating 
beating
beating quietly.
