I’m Still Here

Patrice Clarkson's Blog

I may no longer
Be firmly in your presence
I may be a memory now
Only a thought
A time in your life.

But I’m still here
In that thought
or a glint in your eye
A soft word spoken
To show, to guide.

No longer can I caress
With a hand you can see
But I’m here
Feel my breath as the breeze
Blows gently
That’s me.

Hear my heart
Now silent beat
When you see
A beautiful flower
A tree bend in the wind
Hear me.

No sad words need to be said
Over top of the berth
I now call my bed
For I have gone
To a place full of grace.

Kindness, radiant
Loving light fill this world
I’m now in
Gentle ones share, care
They hold me in.

Please don’t despair
Because I’m no longer there
In a form you’ve known
For I’m here
I’m still here.

Clear The Cold

Clear the cold move it aside
As you open the door
To the warmth inside.

Stand at that door
Caress it’s warm, weathered face
Know it has stood brave
Against all menacing waves.

This door holds strong
With a courageous face
You can embrace the beauty
That exquisite grace.

Step inside
You are safe.

Flowing Down The Countryside

Flowing down the countryside
Blessings caress the morning side
As I see beauty here and beyond
The gently flowing bush and trees.

Smile And Laugh

Smile and laugh.
See the world as a beautiful place to be.
See joy and beauty.
Caress the love you feel and that envelops your soul.
