Seeing Is Believing

Seeing is believing 
Believing is knowing
You are safe 
In the arms of another 
Going forward into the day 
Joyous and alive.

I Wonder What

Patrice Clarkson's Blog

I wonder what
I will say
What I’ll see
In the morning
Unfolding
Just before me.

No breath is taken
Carelessly
Holding on
Moving forward
Knowing I have
Heaven and earth
Backing me.

We Work

We work towards
a good ending 
we feel the ending come. 

Our hearts are remorseful 
knowing
this that’s to come. 

Will there be a tomorrow 
will it all end
today? 

Not ours to answer 
not ours
to know in any way.

I Have Seen You

I have seen you
your love, honesty
and
virtue.

Knowing
that in-between
are the other things
that
no one wants to see
feel or do.

All
are what makes up
an individual
a life, a soul
and
you.

I have seen you
and
I hope you’ve
seen me
too.

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.

When I Hear My Heart Pounding

When I hear my heart
Pounding
My breath takes away
All the fear I had living
Past yesterday
My feet planted in heaven
My arms embracing love
Now I can face tomorrow
Knowing
I had you my dear
Sweet love.

Don’t Make Me The One

 

Don’t make me the one

Don’t make me
Fall from grace
Have no fun

Don’t make me the only one

For the flowers speak
The waters wave and the trees bow
Knowing they too

Don’t want to be this one.

Hoping For The Best

Hoping for the best
Waiting
Waiting for the next
Adventure to happen
Nothing says it’ll come
But
Nothing says it won’t.

Hoping for the best
Knowing it will be
A time I’ll caress
Enjoying
Nothing but the best.

Once Again

Why does it happen
What will stop me
From a big cry
How did I let it come to this
Once again.

When will I understand
The process doesn’t need
To harbour all this doubt
Mistrust and anger
Once again.

Now I’ll step back looking at
All that has been
Refresh my mind knowing
I can conquer this and everything
Once again.

Picky Partners

Picky partners don’t always last
Sometimes they bicker and fight
It goes on and on
For whatever reason it just
Lasts and lasts.

Picky partners need to let up
Knowing being together
Happily
Is what needs to
Forever last.
