Seeking Sacred

Seeking sacred
seeking to find the peace in nature 
that peace
I’ve been declined. 

It’s beauty is beautiful 
it’s nature divine 
seeking that that’s sacred 
enveloping, 
making it part of me and mine.

Haven’t Found The Words

Haven’t found the words 
to say things 
buried
deep in my heart 
hidden 
far, far away. 

Will they give me 
the secret
the key to my life 
what needs to be said 
what needs
forgiving? 

Or 

Have they already been said 
those words
I’ve been seeking
needing  
buried deep   
already giving?

Seeking Help

Seeking help, seeking closure 
seeing the way
with the vision
from all
that
surround me. 

Grateful, amazed
that
this could happen 
be
my salvation
within, around
and
enveloping me.

Holding Up The Light

Holding up the light
searching all thru the night
seeking happiness
in the darkest places
trying desperately to turn on
even a glimmer of light.

Maybe tomorrow
when the sun shines it’s light
I’ll fine the joy and happiness
I’ve been searching
seeking
all thru this dark, dark night.

Now

Patrice Clarkson's Blog

Wandering now
Where I’ve never been

Seeking now
Things I’ve won’t begin

Leaving now
Thoughts I shouldn’t have held so tight

Gone now
From the darkest night

Flowing now
On a path not so straight

Holding now
Promise as I go to the light.

Farther Away Yesterday

The farther I go
The farther away
I get from
What has happened
Yesterday.

Seeking no remorse
Nothing to say
All is in the past
That I did
Yesterday.

Maybe tomorrow
When I’m farther away
Maybe then
I’ll understand the past
All that happened
Yesterday.

Searching, Seeking

Patrice Clarkson's Blog

Searching, seeking
Where I need to be
Wondering
What will be, be my destiny.

Answers come
From where I don’t know when
Answers
I didn’t know or need til then.

Seeking, Helping The World Turn

Seeking
Helping the world turn away
From the horrors, destruction
Man has played
No virtue in it, no redeeming grace
Just sadness and wretched feelings
In this place.

Maybe tomorrow
When the sun does rise
Man will wake up and take pride
In making a place where all are alive
Living in harmony not needing
To just survive.

Seeking Gently

Seeking Gently
Life.

Nothing else matters
It makes you whole
Reaching for
Seeking that wonderful
Life.

Seeking, Seeing Frustration

Seeking, seeing frustration hurt
Haunting me
Move to the left, turn to the right
Nothing works, not tonight
Maybe tomorrow the sun will shine
Clouds escape to a happier time
Taking me with them on a path fluffy white
Filled with joy gentle and kind
No regrets
For I’m in that happier time.
