Hang On

Hang on
Gripping tight 
See the light 
Let go of negatives 
Bask in rays of beauty 
Light. 

Be blessed 
Be right
With all nature 
As you let go
Of
Controls you needn’t need 
Tonight.

What Is Right

Don’t know what to do
What is right
My mind is in
A quandary, a plight.

Will tomorrow
Shed some light
On this dilemma
That I’m struggling with
Tonight.

Or will I go on wondering
What’s best
What is right?

Desperate Happenings

Desperate happenings
Unfolding tonight
Leaving wonder
Far in the distant twilight
No time for remorse
Anger and fury is what
Is coming tonight.

For tomorrow
In the board, bright daylight
Could it be all will be
As if it never happened
Never made you cry
In the dead of the dark
Dark night.

Deep In The Rest

Patrice Clarkson's Blog

Deep in the rest of sleep tonight
My soul does dream so vividly
Life is full, time is dear
Honoured by those held so near.

I awaken rested, never knowing
Time has passed
Troubles solved and circumstance
Seems not to be the threat I feared
So horribly.

No one drew or threw a veil
Upon my sight
Just goodness does
And will prevail.

I slumber now in perfect rest
No concern, no distress
Awakening to light cascading down
Upon my life where goodness
Does and will abound.

There I Am

Patrice Clarkson's Blog

There I am in my robe
Watching closely as the earth disrobes
All it’s ugly, nasty things
Rising up in beauty
Filled with summer and with spring.
Winter’s cold, bitter hate
Melted here, no distaste
Only warm, fulfilling beams
Creating more lovely dreams.

Bless the ground I stand upon
Know it gives me faith true and strong
Trusting I’ll be here long after
Spring flowers fade and go
But memories of what has been
Or yet to come
Will hold my own sheltering robe so tight
That I know I will be safe
On earth’s soft ground tonight.

Tonight

Treacherous feelings I harbour
Tonight
Anger seething in my blood
Tonight.

Each footstep taken
Keeps me in a raging hold
Tonight.

No answer, no salvation
In the black, bleak darkness
Tonight.

Holding On, Holding Tight

Holding on, holding tight
Steeling to make it thru the night
While thinking of basking
In the broad daylight
Making no matter of the matters
That matter tonight.

Sitting Down

Patrice Clarkson's Blog

Sitting down
To think of something
Intelligently bright and just right
For the discussion I’m having
With myself tonight.

Decisions

Making decisions
Some I don’t like
Making them in darkness
And board daylight.

Answering all questions
That’ll make things right
Make people believe in me
Today, tonight.

I don’t have all answers
Still decisions
Decisions will be made
By tonight.
