How have I come to feel this way?
Where will I go on this another day?
Have I been there before?
Have I passed by this way?
Will I go beyond the horizon?
Become lost in the sun’s rays?
Answers I question
Questions I’m asking
Today.

Why have I come?
Where will I go?
Answers here
But
Do they show
The world I’ll live in
Places I’ll go
Feelings I’ll feel?
Answers
I will or will not know.

Curiously Wondering
What is to be
What will become of my world
My life
In the years to come
To be.
Will I grow old
Hair turned white
Or
Just go to sleep
Forever
One night?
Questions asked
Answers
I don’t know
Time is the only one
That
Really knows.

You have heard
I have seen
things of beauty
unforeseen.
Why they bloom
why they thrive
questions, answers not
before my eyes.

Questions asked
answers came
not
the ones expected
but
ones needed
all
the same.
In the light
of
tomorrow
the
focus will be
on
changing
quandaries
to
answers
so
no questions
will remain.

Terrible things happen
In terrible times
Suffer and subjugate
Seems to be the way of life
In this certainly
Not a nursery rhyme.
Will I persevere
Will I see the light?
Questions, answers
Not seen tonight.
Maybe tomorrow
I’ll find my way
Maybe then joy will be
The cloud I ride upon
Spiriting me away.
~ Patrice
@ Patrice Clarkson – 2020
Why has it happened
Where will I be
When oh when will it move on
To the past so far behind me?
Answers
Answers I don’t have
Answers I wish someone
Would share with me.
~ Patrice

Searching, seeking
Where I need to be
Wondering
What will be, be my destiny.
Answers come
From where I don’t know when
Answers
I didn’t know or need til then.

Eventually
All will come to an end
Eventually
All the steel girders will bend
Eventually
Every season will thrive and die
Eventually
The answers you sought will make you cry
Eventually
The happiness foretold you won’t deny
Eventually
All will be all you have
Eventually.
