When I Was Lost

Patrice Clarkson's Blog

When I was lost, nowhere to go
She was there
This I know.

Holding still
Sitting quietly next to me
Not on a chair
But a presence
I could feel, I could not see.

Quietly she spoke
Her hand reaching out
Caressing my spirit, my soul
This being called
Me.

She told of things
That would be
She told me I would succeed
She told me, she told me
Everything.

Her voice so calm
Her touch so light
Her presence it could light
The darkest night.

An angel perhaps
A passing soul, who knows
But by my side
She lived, she stayed
She goes.

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.

When I was lost, nowhere to go

Dear Lord, My God

Dear Lord, my God
Let me be
Part of a world that is happy.

Dear Lord, my God
Let me see
Things of beauty in all I perceive.

Dear Lord, my God
Let me hear
The words of my soul
Let them guide me where I need to go.

Dear Lord, my God
Let me feel
The spirit that lives inside of me.

Dear Lord, my God
My Spirit, my Soul
I need your guidance
Your knowledge, your company
Here by me, where’re I go.
