Words

Words have gone
Lost, forgotten, laying strewn
Across a uncaring lawn.

No time to pick them up
No time to remember
What has been forgot.

Words were said
Yet no one remembers exactly
Or just what.

Tied In A Knot

Stomach tied in a knot
Don’t know what is, what’s not
Blessed be the ones
That know their path, their way
No one need show.

Me, is it me alone
Doesn’t know the way
Can’t see the trail
Lost in woods dark and travail
Calling out is of no avail.

Breath in, breath out
Calmly think, think it out
The way is there
The signs will show
Just stop, look, see
Then for sure, you’ll know.

Flowing Down The Page

Flowing down the page
Words written by a distant sage
Knowledge knowing
Understanding things lost
Hidden in the midst of all
Which we will understand
We will know
When the written words
Are read
For our eyes will overflow.

Cherish The One

Patrice Clarkson's Blog

Cherish the one who gives you joy
Cuddle the one who sinks beneath a burdened load
Find the one whose lost the road
Be yourself where’re you go.

The Crow Flies

The crow flies over skies
Looking down on a world
Moving forward, no lies.

The crow flies calling
Singing songs only loved ones
Hear, don’t deny.

The crow flies holding close
Treasures found, lost
Seen by no other eyes.

The crow flies.

Lost

Lost
In the midst of a crowd

Lost
Focus on what is just my job

Lost
In a world full of nothing sane

Lost
To my friends, my family

Lost
Everything dear to me

But
This I know

I’ve not lost me.

I Will Tell You When

I will tell you when
I need to know
All the things that didn’t show
The world in it’s best light
Lived, lost
Wandered in the night.

Now my soul doesn’t like
To be left alone
Holding tight to a time
When love was free
Joyous, happy
All of these.

I will live on in life
Munster much, avoid most strife
Come to be the answer
I need to know
The answer I’ll tell you then
When I know.
