Cursed Snow

Cursed snow falls
Blanketing life with a dirty white
Melting in spring revealing
No more than everything
Cursed snow.

Cursed snow blows
Filling all nooks and crannies
Whistling round corners
Blowing white, blowing blind
Cursed snow.

Those Who Lost The Fight

I hold up my hand
In gratitude to all those
Who lost the fight
The battle which had
No score.

Win or lose was the choice
Nothing else, no more
I too, will travel down that road
And at the end
To be no more.

There I may find that
Win or lose is not the choice
It’s to live
Forever more.

Feeling The Waves Of Magnitude

Feeling waves of magnitude
Washing thru me
Smacking in the face as it
Crashes over me.

Washing down to the ground
Ebbing back, coming forward
With sounds of thunder
Hitting high above and below me.

Stand, stand my ground
Wait til it dies down
Wth no more crashing
All around, round me.

Sadness Comes And Goes

Patrice Clarkson's Blog

Sadness comes
and goes
Strive to feel
The pain
Then let it go.

No use to dwell
And ponder
Just see it
And let it go.

It makes you
No less
It makes you
No more.

It just makes you
The one to love
For evermore.

Strive For Life

Strive for life
Seek health
And feel love.

No more can one ask
No more can a heart embrace
A soul know.

No more.

Say No More

Say no more

Stand still and tall
You will weather the beating storm

Say no more

Gentle Eyes That Cry

– Written for Joe and Dena in hope of helping them with their loss –

Gentle eyes that cry
No more
A powerful heart beats
No more
Caressing a muzzle soft
No more
A courageous soul lost
To soar up to heaven
Not here with me
No more
How I did adore
No more
A life lived in greatness
Now
No more, no more.
~ Patrice

– Rest in peace and loving love dear Djack  –
