I Have Been Feeling

Patrice Clarkson's Blog

I have been feeling
Not so great
Everything matters
But not at stake.

The life I live
Must be honoured
No too hard
Nor can’t be done.

Understand I can
And
Will overcome.

I Told

I told you not 

I told 

I told all
that would listen 

Told them how it was 
how it would be 

Now 

I’m telling you all

These precious things 
that have been 

And

Will be.

Live Til You Die

Don’t live your life 
in a way 
you know how you’ll die. 

Live a life worth living 
til that time, that time
you really do die. 

Let joy, happiness prevail
all trials, heartache pale with moments
when
your heart bursts in joyous cries
your eyes run tears of gratitude
your ears hear angels trumpet
stories.

Stories of your magnificent life.
the life, that life
you’re going to live. 

Till you die.

Before The Light Begins To Fade

Patrice Clarkson's Blog

Before the light begins to fade
See the beauty in all you survey
Let no small thing be overlooked
As you feel your heart pounding
In a life lived with gratitude
Giving all
No matter what comes to be
This, I think
We need to see.

Tender Ones

Tender ones 
live and become
the strength that makes us
survive. 

Living life 
so we too become 
become
the tender ones.

No More I Say

No more I say 
No more will I be angry
I’ll stay in the blessed day
away from dark clouds
ones that carry sadness, sorrow
making heartache
fill the days of tomorrow.

I’ll live the blessed, the right way
holding all that’s loved 
in gentle tenderness
no need for revenge or anger
no 
not today nor tomorrow.

Seeking Sacred

Seeking sacred
seeking to find the peace in nature 
that peace
I’ve been declined. 

It’s beauty is beautiful 
it’s nature divine 
seeking that that’s sacred 
enveloping, 
making it part of me and mine.

Leaves

Patrice Clarkson's Blog

One Day
The trees were bare
The next
Leaves were there
Cascading
Waving in the breeze
Hiding treasured nests
Deep within silent
Green leaves
Soaking up the sun
Drinking in the rain
Leaves
breathe life
Into a mighty tree again.

Enough

More
is
never enough 

All
is the trouble with 
not enough 

Figuring
it out, making sure
I know 
what I need, what I have 
and
that it’s always
just enough.

Apart

Once close to me 
now apart  
that’s where we stand
with
a different point of view

How
did it come to this
when
did we drift apart
did
you feel me leaving
your head, your heart?

No void,
no thought
at one time
could keep us
apart

But now
I stand on opposite shore
wondering
whatever happened 
happened
that drove us 
drove us so very, very far apart.
