Catch Me If You Can

Catch me if you can
I’m falling deep down
That
Hurtful canyon

Hold my hand
Grasp it tight
Don’t like let go 
Till all that’s out of sight  

Then
Together we will go
You holding me
Me, so grateful.

Snow Comes

Snow comes
falling down 
covering 
covering all that’s wrong 

In the spring 
We’ll see the flaws 
Resurrecting  goodness 
Starting deep
Inside
Underneath it all  

Rising to
Summer’s radiating warmth 
And
Onto falling fall

Where fruition
Will be the harvest seen 
As things die
In the late
Passing fall 

Then once again
We’ll be beneath 
Winter’s cold, cold snow 
Covering  
Covering all.

Falling Softly, Laying Quiet

Patrice Clarkson's Blog

Falling softly
Laying quiet upon the ground
No sound tells the story
No wind whispers words
That made snow
Come falling down.

Snow’s Falling

Snow’s falling
oh how it’s coming down! 

Roads closed 
drivers turning round 

or 

Stuck in a white world 
frantic

Hoping soon
the snow will stop 

Stop
it’s falling down.

Needing Forgiveness

Falling down
Needing forgiveness 
Falling down
Because of you 

I need no other 
I only need
The likes of you. 

You will show me
The way 
To redemption 
The path to forgiveness 

As
I see how forgiveness 
Has
Forgiven you.

Falling Down, Getting Up

Falling down
Getting up 
Feeling rain
pouring in
Sky
thunderous blue 
Earth
drenched. 

Holding on
getting thru 
storm ends 
Sun shines 
and
once again 

I’ll be with you.

Falling softly
Laying quiet upon the ground
No sound tells the story
No wind whispers words
That made snow
Come falling down.

Leaves Floating Down

Leaves floating down
Falling, resting
Finally
On the ground.

No crash is heard
No weeping cry
Only silent sounds echoing
Throughout the sky.

My soul too
Does fall down
Reaching up, clasping pieces
To soften, the floating down.

Rain, Pouring Rain

Rain, pouring rain, cold, colder still
Chills falling, falling down again
Winter’s come, pass the fall
Summer’s gone, we’ve missed it all.

One thing we can do
Is pray for spring, feel the dew
Then summer’s warmth will arrive
Holding us, in her arms once again.

Then The Rain

Then the rain came falling down
Sparks of water splashing on the ground
Feeding life to all beings found
Resting only in between showers pouring
Raining down
Soaking up the fallen down.
