Writing comes easy
It’s the meaning that is hard.

Quietly

 

Quietly I lay 
waiting for the sky 
to take away 
all the hurt, pain 
I experienced 
yesterday 

Quietly, quietly I lay.

Worry, Wonder

Worry, wonder consuming me 
will it be okay or will I be 
surrounded by misery? 

Bite my lip 
still my wicked thoughts
fill the future with all that happiness
has brought.

I’m alive

I am alive!

We Keep Secrets

Patrice Clarkson's Blog

We keep secrets
We hold them tight
Never exposed
To see the morning light.

We keep secrets
Silent, secretive
They speak not a word
Sometimes to the grave
They’re carried, never heard.

We keep secrets
Untold secrets
We grasp them tight
Feeling the burden
The weight not light.

My Father Passed Away

My father passed away 
Passed away many years ago 
On this day. 

Memories are all I have 
Thoughts of yesterday 
Whether happiness, laughter 
Or crying in a most sadden way. 

My father was my saviour 
A man of strength 
I loved everyday. 

He had troubles
Complications like we all have 
As we travel thru our lives 
On our way. 

All this he overcame 
Becoming a beacon of light 
On my darkest days.

The Beginning

See the ending 
The beginning to be 
Something different 
Exceptional
For you and for me.

No retaliation, nor regrets 
For this ending 
Will begin a new beginning 
Better 
For you and for me.

I Hear Your Call

I hear your call 
Your quiet voice 
sounding throughout
the meadowland. 

I hear your call
resonate 
from place to place 
making all that hear it 
Take a stand. 

I hear your call  
I will be there too 
shoulder to shoulder
following
your command.

Butterfly Flutters

Patrice Clarkson's Blog

Butterfly flutters
Breathing in sunlight
Going from left
To right
Landing on a flower
That feeds just right.

Beauty encompasses
Wings in flight
Staying still
Only a second
To take a taste
Of the drink of life.

I’m Alive

My heart is empty 
A soul full of
nothing 
I walk thru the world 
a zombie 
feeling, hearing, seeing 
nothing. 

Will I wake 
I will arrive at a place
full of love 
joy and happiness 
a place where 
I can cry
I’m alive, I alive!
