I Heard The Wild Goose Call

Patrice Clarkson's Blog

I heard the wild goose call
I heard her plaintive tone.

I bowed my head in honour
Of all those left
Left alone.

On the field of war and anger
In the battle
No one wins alone.

I heard the wild goose call
Come
Come bring your brave soldiers home.

The Necessity

The necessity has come 
Has gone 
All that’s left is
Beyond my grasp, my hold 
It’s gone
It’s gone. 

Make no mistake 
I needed all 
But holding on
Wasn’t me 
Wasn’t
What I could become 
No, no 
Not at all.

At Last

Terrible times come to past
Seems they last and last
But
The truth is they never last

They come

They leave

At last, at last.

Why Did It Come?

Why did it come?
Where has it been?
Where will it go?

This I don’t know

All I can do is
Care
And let it show.
