Spring

I feel
The flesh of my skin 
Warming
To the now coming
Spring 

I see
My legs run
Across a path 
Laden with flowers 
Beauties of
Spring 

I hear
A call echoing thru
my chest 
Of geese making their flight 
To reaches north
In the now here
Spring 

No more
To wonder 
No more to wish 
My body knows winter is lost 
Chased away 
By beautiful, glorious
Spring.

A Place

I think the world has come
to 
a place 
of tremendous joy
or
deep sorrow 

Each step we take
will lead us
to
a place 
filled with happiness 
or
despair 

This place 
where I want to be 
is
not hidden 
but
open, right there 
in front of you 
of me 

Take the steps
you need 
to chose
the path to joy
this place
of
happy 

Tread not down 
the deep,
dark hole 
of
desperate agony 

This place 
I think I need 
I feel 
I see
I will be.

Beauty

Look out and see
Beauty 
Breathtaking beauty 
That
Seems not much 
You may say 

But 

See, feel and hear 
All the beauty 
The breathtaking beauty 
Unfolding
In front of you 
Each and everyday.

Holy Smokes, Holy Cow

Holy Smokes, Holy Cow 
The world it turns
It revolves 
But
Not around me 
No
Not at all. 

It may tomorrow 
Or
The day after that 
And
You know 
I’m not sure
Where it turned
Way far back. 

The only thing 
I do know,
I see 
Is that it turns 
And
I take the ride 
The ride for free.

I Have Seen You

I have seen you
your love, honesty
and
virtue.

Knowing
that in-between
are the other things
that
no one wants to see
feel or do.

All
are what makes up
an individual
a life, a soul
and
you.

I have seen you
and
I hope you’ve
seen me
too.

Hear The Call

Hear the call 
Beckoning 

For the heart lives 
Welcoming 

See love 
Opening 

Giving all 
Giving everything.

Seldom Do You See

Seldom do you see
Different species fight
Like you, like me
Seldom
Seldom do you see.

You Don’t Know What I Know

Patrice Clarkson's Blog

You don’t know what I know

You don’t feel what I feel

You don’t see what I see

You can’t hear what I hear

Because

You are not and never will be me.

Understand, Don’t Understand

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Understand, don’t understand
How the world turns round
Can’t conceive, see the concept
Of what will come to be.

All fits together, all is a mess
Nothing left undone
All’s well and is what
Is the outcome.
~ Patrice

When You See Myself

Patrice Clarkson's Blog

When you see myself
You see someone else
Not the one I want to be
But the one I let you see.

Therefore
I will try to appear to be
The person who’s good for you
And most of all the best of me.
~ Patrice
