The Sky Is Bright

The sky is bright 
No clouds
In sight 
The way is open 
Light shows no notion of darkening
This glorious day 

I’ll move forward 
Positive 
Sure my path
Will be straightforward 
All obstacles
Moved 
Out of my way 

On, such a lovely day!

What I’ve Seen

What I’ve seen
is
the best of you 
the world
in all
it’s splendour 
that’s
what I’ve seen

No anger nor hate 
none
of that
is 
what I’ve seen 

What I’ve seen 
is it true
or 
would you remind me 
that
what I’ve seen 
is
just, only 
a lovely, recurring dream.

There I Am

Patrice Clarkson's Blog

There I am in my robe
Watching closely as the earth disrobes
All it’s ugly, nasty things
Rising up in beauty
Filled with summer and with spring.
Winter’s cold, bitter hate
Melted here, no distaste
Only warm, fulfilling beams
Creating more lovely dreams.

Bless the ground I stand upon
Know it gives me faith true and strong
Trusting I’ll be here long after
Spring flowers fade and go
But memories of what has been
Or yet to come
Will hold my own sheltering robe so tight
That I know I will be safe
On earth’s soft ground tonight.

The Clouds Are Dark

The clouds are dark
Ominous in the sky
Fortune once foretold
Hovers somewhere
Under clouds of lullabies.

Stepping forth, going to the heart
Of that that matters
Is all I’m worth, all I need
To live the life I’ve seen exist
In a misty, cloudy dream.

See The Words On The Page

See the words on the page
Bring them out from where they lie
Sing their lovely, lilting song
As you gently nudge to where they belong.

See words filled with wondrous thoughts
No sadness or hateful things
Just beauty radiating, singing
Now and into spring.

Bring these words to the page
Let them shout, sing their happiness
Here and all about
These beauty words you’re bringing out.

Slowly, Softly The Fog Dissipates

Slowly, softly the fog dissipates
Leaving beneath me
A breathtaking land of
Oh so much rare beauty.

In this grand, lovely land
Is a dream where I could exist
Bringing to my life a magic
I shouldn’t nor can resist.

Come join me there
In this wonderland I love
Come be part of a world where
All is filled with wondrous love.
