Heaven Drops

Heaven drops
from the sky
Raining
hope and happiness
Now
and into
the
bye and bye.

I Must

I must
reach for the best

I must
know that tenderness
will bring joy and happiness

I must
make my world turn
with kindness, not hate

I must
I must seek
search, participate.

You Have The Answer

You have the answer
You have the way
To bring joy and happiness
Into this world
Making a better place
Now and everyday.

No words of commitment
No promises uttered
In any way
Just moving forward
Taking each and every step
Accomplishing a better day.

I Am Feeling Down

I am feeling down and all alone
Feel my heart beat a lonesome tone
Crying, standing in the wake
Of not where I want to be.

Hoping the mists of sadness
Will disappear, leaving behind
A world bright and clear
Full of anticipation, happiness
Not this awful, nagging fear and sadness.

Happiness

You haven’t seen
the last of heartbreak or the door
to
Happiness

Sadness, pain frolic on the path
tripping all attempts at prosperity
with
Happiness

They stand there laughing hard
mocking attempts at joy
and
Happiness

Take a breath, a deep sigh
all this will pass and once again
you’ll bask in the pleasures
of
Exquisite Happiness.

In The Heart

Patrice Clarkson's Blog

In the heart of my distress
I find an ark of happiness
Ferrys me to a life
In heaven’s image
No heartache, nor strife
In my dreams I seek, I see
This hallowed place I saw
I seek.

My Fortune Is In My Hands

My Fortune I suppose
Is in my hands
The coming and going
Of goodness, happiness
Is in my command.

No soaked coat
Laden with anger
Can cover me
Or make my way
A forsaken land.

I will, I can
See my fortune ahead
Waiting
Waiting to take my hand.

Strive For Happiness

Patrice Clarkson's Blog

Strive for happiness
Creating love
Narrow the corridor
That harbours anger
Let it sink deep into murky mud.

Never saw it coming
Never heard the cry
Maybe in the beginning
I didn’t understand
The reason why.

Now that is over and it seems
The clouds have begun to dry
I’ll take my happiness
And make love
The reason why.

Having A Hard Day

Having a hard day
Sleepless last night
Thinking all that angers me
Keeps me up at night.

Not mine to control
Not mine
Yet I struggle
Struggle to let go.

Happiness evades me
Anger, frustration
He said
She did.

Why can’t they see
They’re not right
And I’m in the wrong place
Not where I want to be.

The Morning Doesn’t Run Away

The morning doesn’t run away
It stands and looks ahead
To what will come to be
On this now, breaking day.

No regrets should start the way
no ‘what if’ nor nothing negative
Be brought to this new day.

Only anticipation, happiness
With excitement on the face
That stands, looks forward
To this one bright, perfect day.
