The Sky Is Bright

The sky is bright 
No clouds
In sight 
The way is open 
Light shows no notion of darkening
This glorious day 

I’ll move forward 
Positive 
Sure my path
Will be straightforward 
All obstacles
Moved 
Out of my way 

On, such a lovely day!

Once More I Write 2013

I wrote this 4 years ago but believe it still applies today.
Something to strive for, to accomplish.

Patrice Clarkson's Blog

Once more I write 2013. Still strange and scary in some way.

Gone, lost, done is the 2012 year.
Whatever I had wanted to accomplish in that year
I did – or – I didn’t.
It has ended now and I can’t change one bit of it.
Regrets? Yes.
Devastating? Most certainly.
Truly heart-warming? Yes, and much more.

Now I must move on, make this new year the best that I can.
Will I have setbacks and heartache?
Most likely.
But I know I will also have experiences that will take me to the top.
Joy, happiness, success and most of all, love.
This I know because I will make it so.
This is my plan. My resolution for this new year.

Come join me, make it your best year yet. Filled with happiness, love and those wonderful experiences that will carry you thru any dark days that do occur.
And be…

Painful Aspects

Painful aspects
Will not be something
I think of when
I relive my history, my art.

Onward, forward
Must be the march
No hesitation
No “What if my heart?”

Will be positive and pleased with all
Remembering the world
Gives you what you dare to dream
Dare to start.

Come join me, make it your best year yet. Filled with happiness, love and those wonderful experiences that will carry you thru any dark days that do occur.
And be assured, they will happen.
But change that negative, find something positive in even those dark moments.

Make the world a better place because you were here and chose to do so.

Shall we start?

Well, What Will It Be Today?

Well, what will it be today?
A poem?
A thought?
Or something filled
With disarray?

I think not.

Something positive.
Something bright
Something that fills
The night
With stars glistening
Ah so bright.

Yes, that’s what is going
To be today
Something happy
No disarray.

Won’t you stay
And play?
What a great day
A great day to play.

That’s what is going to be
Today.

My Delicate Deception

In my delicate deception
Brows furrow, cast aside
All that is positive in my life.
Without a glance at what could be
Down it goes into the darkest night
As my delicate deception cries
Cries for those left with not a right.
A right to live, a right to be
My delicate deception
I must make right for thee.
