Sadness

Sadness comes and overwhelms me
It sinks into my heart
Envelopes me
No escape can I find.

Sadness reigns, is defined
By coursing thru my veins
To my head, to my heart
Sadness indeed does reign.

Sadness is in control
Is a thought
I can’t help but feel
It steals all love
All sacred thoughts.

This sadness
Great sadness is in my heart.

Rest in peace dear friend Clive.

Haven’t Heard

Haven’t heard
The end
Haven’t heard
The start
Waiting in between

Waiting

To hear my heart.

If I Feel My Heart Weep

If I feel my heart weep
My soul cry
Let me be in a place
Where good ones lie.

Love Joy And Gratitude

As I look around
My heart, my soul
Do abound with love
Joy and gratitude
For things lost then
Brought back in magnitude.

 No one hears or feels
The same thing
In the same way
For thoughts are lost
With no beating heart
To bring them back.

Only feel them
Touch the soul
Giving, sharing
Making one whole
With love
Joy and gratitude.

I Close My Eyes Just To Feel My Heart

Dedicated to those that served and gave all

 

Patrice Clarkson's Blog

Dedicated to Sue, who has lost her beloved horse, Yorkie.
Our thoughts are with you.

I close my eyes just to feel my heart
Feel the pain
Please make it to depart
Lost to all never more to be
The call I loved and adored from thee.

Feel the sadness reign
Beginning down the path
Of no gladness, ecstasy
Only sadden, weeping pain.

You have gone, lost to me
Remorse is not the word
I need or want to see
Tears once of joy shattered
Left, gone no more to employ
Only rivers long, tragic and so deep
Flowing with overwhelming sadness
Do they weep.

Brought down to my knees
Blows of anguish
Anger
Morose disbelief.

Truly thought you’d live forever
Now know is never going to be
Love you ever
Ever please believe
Wanted never
You to leave me never
Ever leave me never please.

Now gone I oh so…

When I Think

When I think
My heart, my soul
Believe the right will come
Will be bestowed.

When I think can’t think
About what could have been
Can’t speculate on how
It came about
What now has been.

When I think I open up
My heart, my soul
To the world’s best
The light that guides
That lets me hear
The way to go.

When I think all is done
My heart, my soul
Laugh and say
Don’t ever think the best is gone
Or all hope is dead.

When I think, I know
We will survive, we will grow
We will make a life
The envy of
My heart, my soul.

Seeing The Answer

Seeing the answer brings
Soft acceptance of everything
No wondering
Or asking anything.

All there in front of me
To embrace or leave behind
It’s nothing.

The answer comes
Bringing with it my heart’s question
About everything.
