Terrible times do occur
Marching lines, men’s faces obscure
No more joy, lightly skipping breeze
Heartache, morse pretty bleak.
Then the sun shines oh so bright
Lighting the way both day and night
No more tears, sadness blame
All is well once again.

You see
I’ve been there too
I know the heartache, the sadness
Nothing, no one is left all alone
You see
someone, somewhere has been there too
we’ve never been alone
You see
now you can be for someone else
the same as was done for you
You see
I know you see now too.

Of course you don’t know
The sadness, the heartache
I shouldn’t know.
You see the life
That seems to glow.
Sometimes it’s a lie
Sometimes you see I cry
But
Then if course
You don’t know.

You haven’t seen
the last of heartbreak or the door
to
Happiness
Sadness, pain frolic on the path
tripping all attempts at prosperity
with
Happiness
They stand there laughing hard
mocking attempts at joy
and
Happiness
Take a breath, a deep sigh
all this will pass and once again
you’ll bask in the pleasures
of
Exquisite Happiness.

I feel your presence
I feel your breath
Warm and sweet
Upon my neck.
I reach for your arms
Your body most sublime
But empty handed
Here I stand.
I think I have lost my mind
My soul mourns
Wails a tale of sadness
Laughter gone.
Maybe tomorrow
I’ll join you
In the bye, in the already
Long gone.

Thinking
About the world today
About all the people who have
Died
Passed away.
Most not their fault
A virus
A plague raced thru
Taking
Their lives away.
Sadness
Not gladness
Is the atmosphere
In this
Our world today.

Not sure the reason why
The sky cries
Weeps and wails
Crashing thunder
Before my very eyes
Anger, sadness
Blessed love
Not sure
Not sure which is
The reason why.

Remember when a laugh and smile
Were the only thing that made
The day’s itinerary song?
Remember when laughter
And carefree days lasted
All year long
The thought of winter didn’t
Come to mind
Didn’t come along.
Then there was when
A door opened up
And seriousness came along.
No smiles, no laughter
The whole day long
Winter winds blew
And the heart was frozen
In sadness
Crying was the only song.
~ Patrice
@ Patrice Clarkson – 2020
Life is a joy
Nowhere is there room
For sadness
Heartache nor doom.
If you see that
All comes to be
Just what
Just what you need.
