You See

You see
I’ve been there too
I know the heartache, the sadness  
Nothing, no one is left all alone 

You see
someone, somewhere has been there too  
we’ve never been alone 

You see
now you can be for someone else
the same as was done for you 

You see 
I know you see now too.

Everlast

Looking for the way 
Seeking the path 
That
Takes me to the place 
Called 

Everlast 

No way to know 
No one to ask 
Must
Seek on my own 
This wondrous place 
Called 

Everlast.

Snow’s Falling

Snow’s falling
oh how it’s coming down! 

Roads closed 
drivers turning round 

or 

Stuck in a white world 
frantic

Hoping soon
the snow will stop 

Stop
it’s falling down.

The Heart Is Cold

The heart is cold 
And
Does not beat 
With love 

Just full of hate 
Anger, blatant lies 
No 
Not love 

See it fester 
Boil over
Beating, beating
Not with love.

Hear The Words Spoken

Hear the words spoken 
softly
in your ear. 

Heed the directions
given 
without apprehension.  

Know
the master of the universe
is near. 

Holding
you
protecting you. 

Have no fear.

The Feeder Hangs

Wishing all

‘HAPPY HOILDAYS’

Staying safe and healthy each and everyday
~ Patrice

Patrice Clarkson's Blog

The feeder hangs
Quiet and discreet
Waiting for company
To enjoy her treats.

No bad or evil thoughts
Does she convey
Feeding all who happen
To pass her way.

Filled up or near empty
She stands quietly there
Holding something
She lives to share.

Loyalty Is Something

Loyalty is something
We all need 
No questions asked, no what ifs 
No
None of that. 

When the world goes
Full round 
It makes sure
All
Is right 
All is above ground. 

That’s when
I see 
My loyalty is to 
The earth
All creatures, all things 
Including me.

Honoured To Be Part

Honoured to be part of
A world caring 
Generous and loving 
Even if tomorrow storms gather 
Obscuring laughter 

It doesn’t matter 
For those clouds will part 
Be blown away 
All will be lovely once again
As it was just yesterday.

The Darkest Night

Let me hold you tight 
Protect you through 
The darkest night 

Let no harm come to you 
As I watch for wrong to come sneaking in 
On that darkest night 

I will put myself in front of you 
Protect and sacrifice my life 
So that you may live thru this darkest
Darkest night.

The World Is Round

The world is round
and
comes full round 
what is bad
turns to goodness 
that
does abound. 

Feel the change 
the transition
to 
beauty, grace
hidden in
sadness, destitute 

Maybe tomorrow
you will
see 
all this unfold
as
the world turns 
round you, round me.
