No One Else

No one else 
no one will be just the same
cause as you may know
or can see
we’re all unique
never not the same
not the same as
you and me.

Enough

More
is
never enough 

All
is the trouble with 
not enough 

Figuring
it out, making sure
I know 
what I need, what I have 
and
that it’s always
just enough.

See The Way

Thirteen-year-old Jana left Chernivtsi with her family and two dogs. They travelled with some family friends who have relatives in Italy, where they are hoping to stay. “In Ukraine, children stay hidden, afraid their homes might collapse at any moment,” says Jana as she strokes her dog.

See the way, see the path 
Move forward, don’t look back 

Embrace the knowledge 
You’re going to safety 

Where no one
Can hurt you 

Not now, nor never 
Just know, believe that.

Never, Nothing To Regret

Patrice Clarkson's Blog

Never, nothing to regret
Got only that which
I need to get
A heart cold, burdened down
Opens up and warms
With kindness shown around.

Never, nothing to regret
The world will come
Bringing all I can reach
And need to get
Sharing too
With those less fortunate.

A smile does it all
Believe
With never, nothing to regret
You’ll receive all you want
And need to get.

I Miss The Heart That Beats

Solely, I Miss the heart that beats
Leaving behind a foggy mist
Never to dissipate.

Answers few, mostly none
Moving forward
Emotions on the run.

Embrace and hold
Respect and see
Loving you meant loving me.

House Of Cards

House of cards
Comes crashing down
Never built on solid ground
No ace, jack nor king
Only a queen in mourning.

Wonders Why

All the world
Wonders why
Why it spins
Falling never
Never calling out
Never stopping
Stopping
Stopping
To wonder why.

The Answer

Sought to seek the answer the spirits speak
Never once thinking to look inside
To see the answer that I need
The answer, which is here inside of me.
