The Sun Shines Bright

The sun shines bright 
bringing morning
into daylight 
birds sing, squirrels fly 
looking for feasts 
in the clear morning
light. 

Nothing could go wrong 
nothing could be bad 
hoping for the best 
in the bright morning 
sunlight.

What I’ve Seen

What I’ve seen
is
the best of you 
the world
in all
it’s splendour 
that’s
what I’ve seen

No anger nor hate 
none
of that
is 
what I’ve seen 

What I’ve seen 
is it true
or 
would you remind me 
that
what I’ve seen 
is
just, only 
a lovely, recurring dream.

Fill The Store

Fill the store
Empty the heart of things vicious
Tearing you apart 

Please go 
Please depart 

Let the sun shine in 
The love to flow 
The world know you are gentle  
All good things fill 
Your store and loving heart.

You’ve Been With Me

You’ve been with me 
I believe
no amount of time will pass
without you near. 

Remorse in the beginning 
crying that will cease 
becoming memories of laughter and play 
things talked about shown, learned
and explained.

No farther away
than a thought in my head
for I see your voice speaking
your eyes filled with kindness 
no dread. 

I know I can go forward 
I know I’ll be ok 
for you’ll be with me 
forever 
forever and a day.

Another Day Not The Same

Patrice Clarkson's Blog

Another day not the same
A cloud, a veil
Lifted
Now I see my terrain.

All is clear
My purpose, my direction
My refrain.

I sing and live
What gives me satisfaction
Gives me
A life to live.

To

Hoping for
Listening
To 
Drops of wisdom 
Dripping knowledge
Into
My life.

 Up to me
To
Drink deep 
This gift
I’ve been given
Too. 

Make the best
Going forward 
Into
A world I’ve built 
And living
Too.

Falling Down, Getting Up

Falling down
Getting up 
Feeling rain
pouring in
Sky
thunderous blue 
Earth
drenched. 

Holding on
getting thru 
storm ends 
Sun shines 
and
once again 

I’ll be with you.

Let Them Help

Let them help
Let them be part of the solution 
Part of the ever evolving history. 

Let them work 
Let them play and be happy 
For all will come to an end. 

So let the trip, the journey 
Be a good one 
To last long into eternity.

Holding On

Holding on
Holding safe 
Letting go
Not to replace love
With hate. 

It may be
Tomorrow 
It may be
Later today 
I will see the world 
In a wondrous
New way.

Sunset

Patrice Clarkson's Blog

Sun goes down
Into the evening sky
Leaving the moon to reflect it’s light
Into the water deep and blue
Turning it golden
Blood red too.

All is quiet in the evening sky
Birds ponder the reason why
As the sun now sinks
Beneath the ocean blue
Refreshing itself in waters deep, dark
Purely quiet too
