As I Sit Here Facing Life

Patrice Clarkson's Blog

As I sit here facing life
Must decide my mission
The way I choose
To ride the ups and downs
The about face
The turnarounds
No road is straight
No path without a winding curve
Negotiate
Living life on your own terms.

Every Time

Every time 
I hear your heart beat 
my breath is taken away 
Every time 

Every time
my heart does race 
when I feel your love so near 
Every time 

Every time
my soul seeks
refuge in the love we share 
I know I will be safe 
Every time 

Every time

A Smile Changes You

A smile changes you
And
The world you smile upon.

Needing Forgiveness

Falling down
Needing forgiveness 
Falling down
Because of you 

I need no other 
I only need
The likes of you. 

You will show me
The way 
To redemption 
The path to forgiveness 

As
I see how forgiveness 
Has
Forgiven you.

I Feel Your Love

You touch me tenderly 
I feel your love 
No matter what happens 
I know I’ll forever be 
In forever love.

Life Holding Me

Sometimes
I feel life holding me 
embracing, protecting me 

Then
I’m invincible 
then I can do anything 

Yes
when life is holding me.

Horrors Be

Horrors be 
can’t take them
away
away from the head 
they stay  
mentally. 

The body will heal 
but 
the spirit, the soul
keep 
those things into
eternity. 

We know we must 
must let them
go 
throw them away 
don’t let them
crush 
your spirit
your kind soul. 

Today, just today 
let them go 
no more in your head 
to fester
create dread 
let them go, let them go
instead.

See It Happen

See it happen
Feel it be
Nothing is by accident
Only
Just as it should be.

My Birthday Is Near, Yours Was Today

My Birthday is near, yours was today

Without your birth 
My heart wouldn’t beat 
My eyes see
Or
My feet walk beneath
Blue skies and aside green seas 

It’s so long ago
You ceased to be amongst us
But still 
I feel your presence here
Inside/beside of me. 

May we love, be forever
Mother – Daughter 
Far
Far into eternity. 
~ Patrice  

Happy Birthday Mom!

The World Spins

The world spins 
Swirls around 
How we stand up is
Extremely profound. 

Not a sound is heard 
It’s all underground 
Just spinning thru space 
How exciting 
How profound.
