My heart seems broken
the world appears unfair
direction is lost
my world, my heart
are in
such deep despair.
It may be
tomorrow
the sun will shine
bringing healing, loving light
everywhere
But for now
in
this moment
all I feel is sadness, heartache
and
despair.
~ Patrice
My heart, my thoughts go out to those in Texas who have suffered such tragedy.
@ Patrice Clarkson – 2022
Rain flows, thunder roars
Skies dark
The world holds its breath.
A storm races through
Her heartless devastation clearly shows
Nature knows what she can do.
Later the skies will clear
The sun will shine
Birds glide on breezes
Blowing softly in blue, blue skies.
All is clear
The storm’s destruction
Has disappeared.
Everything is calm
We have weathered another storm.

Fill the store
Empty the heart of things vicious
Tearing you apart
Please go
Please depart
Let the sun shine in
The love to flow
The world know you are gentle
All good things fill
Your store and loving heart.

Falling down
Getting up
Feeling rain
pouring in
Sky
thunderous blue
Earth
drenched.
Holding on
getting thru
storm ends
Sun shines
and
once again
I’ll be with you.

Holding still, holding fast
Waiting, waiting For the terrible, the bad
To pass.
Then the sun will shine, rivers flow
Lives will live, love and give
To all they know.

May my soul find the secrets
Hidden deep in my heart
May the pleasure never
Ever, ever depart.
May I find justice
For the things unfairly done
And may the sun shine
On all those I love
Each and everyone.
May I find the strength
To stand up straight
And not waiver
In the thoughts
That can make me see
Greatness
Greatness in all of thee.
Yes
May my soul believe
And see
All that is wondrous
In this secret place
Called me.

When I see delight in your eyes
A smile fades and my soul cries.
No longer am I the one to bring pleasure
Or shine like the sun in your realm, in your life
No longer am I.
No longer am I
The one bringing delight to your eyes
A smile fades, my soul cries.

May my soul find the secrets
Hidden deep in my heart
May the pleasure never
Ever, ever depart.
May I find justice
For the things unfairly done
And may the sun shine
On all those I love
Each and everyone.
May I find the strength
To stand up straight
And not waiver
In the thoughts
That can make me see
Greatness
Greatness in all of thee.
Yes
May my soul believe
And see
All that is wondrous
In this secret place
Called me.
