I have been feeling
Not so great
Everything matters
But not at stake.
The life I live
Must be honoured
No too hard
Nor can’t be done.
Understand I can
And
Will overcome.

I don’t know the answer
nor the question
I was asked
I’m living with
what has happened
what has come to pass
Will it still be here tomorrow
will it be all I need
I need to ask
No answers come forth
because the answers
are hidden
Hidden deep
deep within
the questions asked.

Heaven help the world
Understand
There is no tomorrow
If we don’t stand and
Let nature be around.
We alone cannot supply
Our food nor make rain
Come pouring down.
Understand
We are but a small dot
In a world
Simply
Spinning round.

Heard them say
their words with feeling
Heard the tone
and
plaintive call.
Knew my words
compared to theirs
were small
overall.
Understand
they have the stature
believe
their words say
it all
But
I look within myself
and know
I still have to write
those words given me
I have to answer
that
inner call.

We’re ‘In It’s Grip’ but not the weather. Stay safe and well ❤
Patrice Clarkson's Blog

In it’s grip
It’s grip so tight
Hearing ice crack
As limbs fight to stay aloft
In the cruel, bleak night
Sparks shoot into the sky
Wires break, electricity dies.
We wait for help, to understand
A world changed, transformed
Across our little plot of land.
No cell phone works
No lights come on
Except from generators
Throttled up, throttled down.
While chainsaws roar cross the land
We do our best
To clean up, to understand.

Everyday I see something
That resembles twelve
Part of nature, earth, sky
The clouds.
Breathing in, breathing out
Spectacular
as I turn
Whirl about.
Maybe tomorrow
I’ll understand, take it all in
Then tell the rest of the world
What it’s all about.

I haven’t stopped to understand
Haven’t known which way
Is at my command
All seems so hard
To comprehend, to understand.
Please let me know
The knowledge needed
The way be seen
For without this where will I be
Except the same place
I’ve always been.

Never known where I belong
Seems to me my whole family
Is just wrong.
Why? Why?
Neither does my love’s
Seem willing to embrace
Me strong.
Why? Why?
I don’t know where I belong
Wherever I go
The same seems to apply.
Why? Why?
Am I from another earth?
Do I belong in a time
Gone by?
Can’t say
Don’t know what’s wrong.
Or should I just understand
The world belongs to those
That accept different as they are
Part of the woven web
Is what we are.
We belong, we belong
I now know where it is I belong.
