I Am Alive

I hear the song 
Feel the vibe 
I’m alive

I am alive!

Peaceful Scene

Waves of thunder cross the sky
Rain falls obliterating any peaceful scene
My heart wails in anguish
Horrified by what
I’ve seen.

May tomorrow ride the wave
Of sunlight streaming
Streaming across a quiet
Peaceful scene.

And I will rest in peace
Knowing life goes on
No matter what I feel
I’ve seen.

Terror Holds My Heart

 

 

Terror
holds my heart
Still waiting
for the worst
To subside.

And my mind
Knows
The world
Of innocence
Will not grow
It’ll hide.

Only fear
Anger
Uncontrolled
Hate
Coupled with
Mistrust
If
we’re not careful
These
Will dominate.

My terror shows
I can not hide
These feelings
I feel
I describe.

I Feel The Wheels Turning

I feel the wheels turning
I know
I’m moving ahead
left behind is the quandary
shall I stay safe
or
go forward instead.

The path is convoluted
many twists and turns ahead
but I know
I feel
It’s the only road I must travel
before I sleep
lay down
rest my weary head.

Let Me

 

Let me hold all that is holy
Feeling the radiance
Flow thru my body
Into the universe
As all is sacred and well.

Let me be part
Of that universe
Feeling those worlds above
While in harmony with
That which is around
And beneath me.

Let me feel these things
And let me just
Be me.

Feel

Feeling anger with no remorse
Feel like I’m stepping on
A unproductive, negative course.

It’s not like I will abide
In this state
But for now, I’ll let it ride.

Feel like no one knows
Nor do they care
The hurt they give
It seems unfair.

Yes, I’ll let it ride
And tomorrow, hopefully
Saner minds will survive.

Giving me a better outlook
A better feel
For those who criticize.

Did You See Me

To all those I have lost in this life

Patrice Clarkson's Blog

Did you see me coming down the lane?
Did you hear me crying, crying your name?
I have lost you in the mist of time
Forgotten what has been
And what was part of mine.

Then I hear you softly call my name
Feel your arms around me once again
Trust the world will still be pleased
Even thou you no longer step
Along this path with me.

Before The Light Begins To Fade

Before the light begins to fade
See the beauty in all you survey
Let no small thing be overlooked
As you feel your heart pounding
In a life lived with gratitude
Giving all
No matter what comes to be
This, I think
We need to see.

You Don’t Know What I Know

Patrice Clarkson's Blog

You don’t know what I know

You don’t feel what I feel

You don’t see what I see

You can’t hear what I hear

Because

You are not and never will be me.

Confusion, Despair

Confusion, despair
Don’t know
Which way to twist.

Fighting heartache
Fighting a vacuum
No air.

Survival is the call
Even if it may feel
Your back’s to the wall.

Stand true
Stand and know
There’s only one you.

You are the one
That’ll come thru
Brave, wonderful you.
~ Patrice
