They Thought I Was Crazy

They thought
I was crazy 
they thought I was nuts 
I heard laughter, jeering
silence, smirks
that did suck. 

From there I went forward 
farther than most 
believing in my worth 
holding tight to that dream
I brought to fruition 
this life
I hold close.

We Sat Silently Together

Patrice Clarkson's Blog

We sat silently together
No one saying anything
Silently wishing
We could bridge the chasm
That that silence brings.

I forgot
What day this was
I forget if a saddened sun shone
I forget what I had for lunch.

But
I didn’t forget the thousands that did die
I didn’t forget those that did get out alive
I haven’t forgot you helped those survive.

I can not forget the clouds of smoke
Rising ash, people stunned, sirens wailing
Unholy hell reigning
It seemed to last I have not forgot.

I can not forget
A silence as planes flew into concrete
Smashing trust, crushing hopes
This I won’t and have not forgot.

Silent Silence

Silent silence
Thundering thru my head
Clouding all that might be said
Nothing left to be undone.

Silent silence
Makes me run.

Silence

 

Silence Can Be Peace and Tranquility.

Silence,

Silence,

That is what it is to me.

I See A Rabbit Hopping

I see a rabbit hopping
Out along the back
All is quiet, except honking
No one could miss that!

Honking geese as they fly
In for their morning feast
They can’t afford to miss that!

Freezing rain has coated
Covered all
While trees hang in silence
Bowing to extremes.

Not one bird ventures out
Other than the geese
I see no one there about.

Waiting, riding out the storm
We all hunker down
And just sit it out.

Duty Must Absolute Demand

Duty must absolute demand
Sorry for nothing nor
Furrow no brow
Masters of divine now in a scowl
Unholy bliss lifting up
Only those who think of buttercups.
Make it right, don’t deny
All those that suffer
In silence nigh.
