Time Bends

Time bends

Hours drip away 
Different 
In all places of the world 
The universe 
Galaxies swirling. 

Time bends

Somewhere it’s tomorrow 
Today 
Is gone 
It’s already been. 

Then there’s 
Yesterday 
Can we go back 
See it happen, happen 
All over again? 

Time bends

I Don’t Know, I Haven’t Seen

I don’t know 
I haven’t seen
the truth 
The answer to all
That seems so mysterious
But
Serene. 

Let me look some more
Let me see
The beauty nestled
In this day
Unfolding gently
Beautiful and pristine.

My Friend

Do I know you 
Have you been 

My friend? 

Will I know that in times of trouble
I can count on you
Once more, once again? 

Questions, answers
I say, ask  
Over and over again 

Still 
I don’t know for certain
You really are 

My friend.

Thunderous Clouds

Clouds are heavy overhead 
Thunder strikes with ominous dread
Rain sweeps down
From
Dark, black clouds.
~
Will the storm come
Wreck havoc
Before it disappears?
~
No one
But
God knows
Have no fear.

Weep

My heart cries
My soul does weep
The heavens have opened up
And
Took my precious one to keep
I cry
I weep and weep.

Wait for me
For 
I know when my time comes
I’ll seek to be with you there 
No more, no more
To
Weep.

Snow Falls Silently Down

Patrice Clarkson's Blog

Snow falls silently down
Snowploughs roar
Spreading sand, salt
Across roads far around.

Oblivious birds sit in trees
Hunkered down
A fox yips, a crow cries
All says
A winter’s day is on the rise.

No One Knows

No one knows 
Nor
Do they tell
Why the world turns
And
Doesn’t fall
Into hell.

Maybe it has
Maybe
There we are
No one knows
Nor
Do they tell.

Standing Still And Breathing Deep

Standing still
And
Breathing deep 
The world comes into focus. 

Then I know
Know what I need to leave
And
What I need to keep.

Wondering What

Sitting here wondering 
What has begun
What will take place
What has run to it’s end
What has not.

These are things I think about
I take to my heart
For it must live through every single thing
Every single bit and not skip a beat
No, it must not.

The Past

Let the past be
The past 

Get on with
Today.
