Can’t See

Can’t see where I’m going 
nor
where I’ve been 
the road is rough 
too many bends 
for me.

Will I come
out to the open? 

See the path before me 
gently sloping
to a valley full of fun  
no sadness nor depression 
so deep. 

Hopefully 
this is what I’ll see
will be.

Me

After deep soul searching
Searching deep
Within
The depth of
Me

I found

Found I could be
The one
The one and only one
The only one of
Me.

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.

Hidden Treasures

Hidden treasures
Laden with controversy 

Hidden treasures
Buried deep 

How
Did they get there? 

How
Did they come to be? 

Hidden treasures
Hidden 

Will they ever
Ever again be seen?

Deep In The Rest

Patrice Clarkson's Blog

Deep in the rest of sleep tonight
My soul does dream so vividly
Life is full, time is dear
Honoured by those held so near.

I awaken rested, never knowing
Time has passed
Troubles solved and circumstance
Seems not to be the threat I feared
So horribly.

No one drew or threw a veil
Upon my sight
Just goodness does
And will prevail.

I slumber now in perfect rest
No concern, no distress
Awakening to light cascading down
Upon my life where goodness
Does and will abound.

Turquoise Blue

Turquoise blue
Saintly, much like you
Deep, mysterious
Basking in sunshine
Mists of blue.

No heartache, only passion
Focused on dreams
Stories, mostly about you
Turquoise in colour
Shades of blue.

Nothing I see
Nothing I do
Will make the colour
Like your colour
Turquoise blue.

Deep In A Wretched Chasm Of Despair

 

Deep in a wretched chasm of despair
Struggling, struggling to get out
Out of there
Fallen down a well of no repair
Intimidating, dark down there.

Feel the walls
Feel their strength
They’ll help you climb back up
Into a life of freedom
Happiness, no despair.

Don’t dwell way down
Way down there
In that chasm, that well
Filled with hell
Way down there.

Bring yourself up, out
Feel the rays spreading out
Warming, bringing joy
Happiness all about
No pain.

No heartache there about
As we bask in the warmth
Of the sun, knowing
We’ll never fall back down
into that dark chasm
We’ll never, ever fall
ever at all.

Sometimes Sadness Falls

Sometimes sadness falls
So far
Desperately need not
Feel that scar
Sadness
Melancholy breeding
Gaining ground.

Spreading out
Seeping deep
Within the psychic far
Oh so far around.

Trembling lips reach out
Grabbing, holding on
No hollow
Shallow victory
But a life
Maybe gone.

Tears stream down
Wanting, wailing cheeks
Splattering near
And on hardened ground
No soft tender place
To be found.

Hold yourself together
Hold yourself
Up to the light
For even if sadness falls
Make it you who decides
On which kind
A loving
Or hardened ground.

My Heart Sends The Word

My heart sends the word
To those that want to be
Free and deep dark
In the sea of cordial ecstasy.
