You Heard Me Call

You heard me call. 

You heard me speak.

Whatever happened
that
you didn’t seek? 

Help
with all that’s wrong
makes you sad
makes you weep?

No help will come
If
we do not know.

No trouble solved
when
the answer isn’t seen
the question asked.

And
you sit in the midst
of what
you
just don’t know.

You Hold Me Close

You hold me close 
I seek 
listen to your advice 
the world seems small 
within my grasp 
when I follow 
your quiet, beckoning call. 

I may accomplish 
what needs to be done 
I may succeed 
not unravel 
become undone. 

But that depends upon 
my hearing your wise words 
of 
things happened 
and 
those yet to be heard.

A World Most Divine

I seek to find
the world
in a place divine

No hatred
killing
ever creeping slime

Caring places all
on the pedestal of sincere
and right

Full of joy
laughter
cuddling thru the night

This is where I want to be
this is how
all things should turn

A place I’ll seek, I’ll look
I’ll find
in a world most divine.

Knowing All

Knowing all
Does not help
To know
The best.

Knowing less
Leaves you open
To seek, question
All the rest.

Looking Back, I See Ahead

Looking Back, I see ahead
The twists and turns
I must not fear nor dread
The world will come
And be before my feet
It’s up to me to go forward
To find, to seek.

Going Once, Seeing Twice

Going once, seeing twice
The solution and necessary advice
Let be not in vain
Take the advantage seek and gain
A life lived with such divine
Will last forever
Throughout all time.

Looking For

Hoping, looking
For a breathing space
To be in harmony
Living life as I know
I can and should be.

Trust me, trust you
Trusting the world
To be what I need
What I’m looking for
And that I seek.

A Tear Drop

Patrice Clarkson's Blog

A tear drop
Runs down my cheek
Taking with it all I cherish
All I seek.

A tear wells up
Clouding my eyes
So they can’t see
The pain devouring me.

A tear drops quietly
On lips unable to cry
Any words that fit
These feelings I dispise.

A tear falls
Down my cheek
Landing on my broken heart
Whose pain won’t go away.

A tear flows down
Taking with it all love
All joy
I hoped I’d found.

I feel
A tear running down.

Me And My Shadow

Patrice Clarkson's Blog

Me and my Shadow
Are traveling thru
Life’s twists and turns
Purple haze of blue.

Me and my Shadow
Have come to see
Opportunities
Of the highest degree.

Me and my Shadow
Don’t lecture or seek
We follow the road
Where it seems to lead.

Me and my Shadow
Have long been together
Together we see
Yet she stays with me.

Me and my Shadow are traveling thru
The bumps and the curves
The ones we need too.

I thank you my Shadow
For all that you do
And standing behind me
No matter what I may ever do.

Helping Those Who Help

Helping those who help
Seeking ones who need
Whether it be you
Whether it be me.

Small steps in the midst
Of caring joy carrying
Helping
Those who seek.
