The Breath Breathe

Hearing the breath breathe
Is heartening to us 
Cause tomorrow may bring
Happiness or sadness 
Or something 
We haven’t seen.

But today we’ll hear
The breath breathe
And know
That just for today
We’re living, breathing
We’re okay.

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.

Hidden Beneath

Hidden beneath 
the sacrifice 

Deep
in the abyss of darkness 
deceit  

Sits
a radiance of hope 
glimmering 
breathing 

No words spoke 
but
listen 

Listen.

Butterfly Flutters

Patrice Clarkson's Blog

Butterfly flutters
Breathing in sunlight
Going from left
To right
Landing on a flower
That feeds just right.

Beauty encompasses
Wings in flight
Staying still
Only a second
To take a taste
Of the drink of life.

I Have Seen

I have seen you are with me
You have been my sole companion
On this trip, this journey.

Never alone, my heart, my soul
Feel your gentle breath
Breathing.

At peace, I am feeling
Your hand in mine leading
Keeping.

Sorcerer Functioning

Sorcerer functioning
Beyond the depths
No one knows nor accepts
The magnificence held
Then released
Because of you
And yes
Because of me.

Sorcerer held to the soul
Grasping, breathing life
Where no one goes
End of nothing
Knows no bounds
Stepping lightly upon the ground
Soaring heavy beneath the skies
Swimming sweaty before my eyes.

Sorcerer functions
Knowing no bounds
Living with us
On hallowed ground.

Feel The Breathing

 

 

 

Feel the breathing
Breathless breathing
All the way down to my toes
Feel the breathing all the way
Back up to the top.

Feel the beauty
As it goes down again
Then back up to the top
Please let it continue
Please don’t let it stop.

That breathless beauty
As it rises once again
All the way from my toes
Back up, back up
To the top.
~ Patrice
