Wrath Of What Has Been

I’ve experienced the very wrath
Of what has come, has been
No remorse felt or regrets that last 
No happiness seen. 

Let me be away from this
Be and feel pure joy, pure bliss 
And that happiness 
That’s been evading me.

This I ask, beg and plead
Knowing it’s up to me to be
In that embrace, that love 
I want to feel and see.

I Feel

I feel your presence
I feel your love holding on
To the beauty that was ours

When you were the only one
I really loved.

Times have changed
Times are not what they were

Still, I feel your embrace
Your breath kissing me
Surpassing
All that time, that space

Till the day
We’ll be together once again 
Once again.

The Truth

Sometimes the truth
hurts 
and
not the best thing 
to hear. 

Sometimes its good 
to accept the truth 
as it is 
as it seems. 

Sometimes you can
make the truth
the truth you need 
to embrace 
and
to believe.

Hoping For A Way

Hoping for a way to belong 
belong to the day 
I see
unfolding 

Reach the morning light 
caress softly the fleeting sunset 
feel the rain 
let the wind blow 
empty
hollow thoughts away 
as
I embrace the magnificence
of an ever-changing
landscape 

This is where
I want to stand 
my feet firmly planted 
belonging 
in
this day, this world 
this land.

I Seek But Will I Find

I seek but will I find 
The lost, hidden 
The divine. 

No path is shown 
No way is clear 
Trudging onward 
Holding on to thoughts 
Of what may be
Near. 

Maybe passed by
Shrugged off
Not
Realizing 

Sometimes
Good things 
Stand 
Being there for me
To embrace 

Hiding
In
Plain sight.

Let Me Feel Love

Let me feel
love and grace 
let me embrace all this 
that nature has to give 
gives
with love and natural grace. 

Let me not endure 
for long
sadness nor despair 
let happiness and love
prevail 
chasing away all that’s wrong 
all that doesn’t care.

Let Me

Let me hold, let me love those
surrounding my heart

Let me see beauty
in the world static or moving freely

Let me embrace tenderly and with care
all those I see filled with grief or despair

Let me know when to be still
and when to move like a lighting bolt

Let me, let me be in all
this I hold, feel, see and care.

Never Known Where I Belong

Patrice Clarkson's Blog

Never known where I belong
Seems to me my whole family
Is just wrong.

Why? Why?

Neither does my love’s
Seem willing to embrace
Me strong.

Why? Why?

I don’t know where I belong
Wherever I go
The same seems to apply.

Why? Why?

Am I from another earth?
Do I belong in a time
Gone by?

Can’t say
Don’t know what’s wrong.

Or should I just understand
The world belongs to those
That accept different as they are
Part of the woven web
Is what we are.

We belong, we belong
I now know where it is I belong.
