When I Feel The Tenderness

Patrice Clarkson's Blog

When I feel
The tenderness
The soft calling
From my heart
Let me begin to process
All these things
I feel
In my head
In my heart.

My Heart

My heart

My heart
Ticks
It tocks

My heart
Loves
And then not

My heart
Lives

My heart
Brings life
And then

My heart
It
Stops.

Angry, Hurt Are The Feelings

Angry, hurt are the feelings
Racing thru my head
Why would people be that way
Can’t accept such treatment
In my heart, my head

Seething, feeling angry
But I’ll try to forgive and say
Goodbye to such
That make life an unholy place
No one wants today.

When I Find The Lost

When I find the lost that I knew
I’ll smile
And let my heart
Smile too.

A Million Miles Away

A million miles away
The sun shines
No matter
The time of day.

My heart must bring
That sun from far
To my day, my walk
My way.

Holding close all
That’s good
All I need to make
It thru today.

From a million miles away
The sun shines
Shines on me
As I’m on my way.

Oh My Heart, My Heart

When the world fell apart
I was filled with despair
Crying
Oh my heart, my heart
No other saw or moved
To employ saving grace
All was destroyed
Oh my heart, my heart.

Then the sun shone
The rains came
My heart heard
A sweet, sweet refrain
Crowds rejoiced, laughed
Coming close to heaven
And my heart sang
Oh my heart, my heart
Once again.

I Have Seen

I have seen you are with me
You have been my sole companion
On this trip, this journey.

Never alone, my heart, my soul
Feel your gentle breath
Breathing.

At peace, I am feeling
Your hand in mine leading
Keeping.

My Heart Beat Soft

Slowly hearing
My heart beat soft
Taking in the beauty
Beneath, within and aloft.

No words spoken
No words need said
For all is explained
In a beat so soft.

Can I Venture To The Past?

Patrice Clarkson's Blog

Can I venture to the past?
Relax and enjoy things seen
Fix what wasn’t right
Move forward
To this time I live in now
Confident
My heart will no longer hunger
For what has been and passed.

Can I?
Dare I venture to the past?

Do I Tell The Stories

Do I tell the stories
I know
Or do I let them go.

My heart doesn’t know
The way
The way I should go.

My spirit tells me
Feel the earth
Breathe the skies.

And the beings that live
Purely
Will guide you, they’ll never lie.
