No More

No more
Can no one say. 

No more to hear 
To see. 

No more will be suffice 
To carry us through this day 
This night. 

No more to feel
What wasn’t felt
Yesterday. 

No more 
Will there be
A difference between us. 

No more you, no more me
No more.

Feel The Clouds

Feel the clouds
come rolling in 

Hear the thunder clap

Experience rain
pouring down

Cleansing all 

So once again 
the world looks fresh 

Growing

Reaching for the stars 
because of rain

Life-giving rain.

Hear My Heart Call

Patrice Clarkson's Blog

Hear my heart call
Hear that quiet voice
Murmur words of love
Filling all with grace.

Hear my heart call
Words to ease the pain
Sounds made from
A sweet refrain.

Hear my heart call
I’m not alone
Forever with me
In all my journeys.

Hear my heart call
Listen, listen to that sound
Hear my heart
Hear my heart call.

Spring

I feel
The flesh of my skin 
Warming
To the now coming
Spring 

I see
My legs run
Across a path 
Laden with flowers 
Beauties of
Spring 

I hear
A call echoing thru
my chest 
Of geese making their flight 
To reaches north
In the now here
Spring 

No more
To wonder 
No more to wish 
My body knows winter is lost 
Chased away 
By beautiful, glorious
Spring.

Beauty

Look out and see
Beauty 
Breathtaking beauty 
That
Seems not much 
You may say 

But 

See, feel and hear 
All the beauty 
The breathtaking beauty 
Unfolding
In front of you 
Each and everyday.

I Am Alive

I hear the song 
Feel the vibe 
I’m alive

I am alive!

What Will Be The Answer

What will be the answer
what will happen here
will we rejoice with happiness
or
will all wonder disappear?

So many gone
so
many not here

I wonder what the answer is
and
will I be able to accept
what I hear?

I Find My Heart Cold

Patrice Clarkson's Blog

I find my heart cold
In charge of no life
Making no sound
Finding no life.

Lonely of course
Hardened and cruel
Seeking no justice
A master I’m sure
That is such a fool.

Sudden I hear
A kindness roar
Blood pulsing inside
Like opening a door.

For my heart is alive
Beating with life
Coursing with love
Creating a good life.

When I Hear Those Words

When I hear those words
That melt my heart, make my tears cry
Filling up the world’s cup of gratitude
When I hear
Hear those wondrous words
I know I’m alive.

Hear The World

Hear the world come to it’s end
Listen to mourning flowers
Sway to and fro
And then

Hear the mighty mountains
Roar their anger
Frustration
To all that’ll listen.

Hear the world plead
Cry
For those lost
In the mayhem.
