A Sadness Deep Inside

A sadness deep inside 
festering, crying 
pleading
to be let out 
let outside. 

To be free 
to wander, find solace 
be happy 
come alive 

This is all 
that
sadness asks 
all’s needed 
for that sadness deep 
deep inside.

A Eagle Sits

A eagle sits up in a tree 
resting 
after fishing salmon
in
our tiny stream. 

Majestic and noble 
he doesn’t seem to see 
the trials, tribulations 
I’m burdened with
as I too wander by
that
tiny, fish laden stream. 

He brings it all into perspective 
he makes me see 
life goes on
regardless 
of what I want 
I need 
I perceive.

I Know You’re There

I know you’re there 
I’ve felt your sweet breath 
upon my face, my hair 
your soft voice sweetly calls 
from somewhere, somewhere
but I don’t know where 
your steps direct my feet 
they lead me in a way so discreet 
I can’t falter nor wander 
you guide me, guide me there 
I feel no despair 
you are with me where’er I go 
I know, I know you’re there.

My Heart Is Heavy, My Soul Cold

My heart is heavy, my soul cold

Wherever I wander
I know
The sky will be there
The earth a treasure trove
Of experiences

I will live, I will know

Together
They will pull me out
Out of this deep hole

My heart will lighten
My soul no longer be
A deathly cold.

So Divine

Seek and you shall find
Heaven, heaven
Oh so divine.

Lose and you are lost
To wander in a quandary
So complex no ending
Will be yours or mine.

But in between
Live a life free and joyful
And the universe will
Come together
To combine, both worlds
So divine.

Swirling, Whirling Round

Swirling, whirling round
What is right, what is wrong?

My heart doesn’t know
My mind denies
My breath gasps in
My soul cries.

I wander
Taking in, looking out
Screaming
What is this all about?

Another Idea Came To Mind

Another idea came to mind
Popped into my head
My mind
Write it down, ponder it
Express it
Make it become
A reality.

Cause if I let it be
It’ll wander and fade
To a fleeting thought
That once lived
Briefly
In my mind
In my psyche.

My Mind Does Wander

Patrice Clarkson's Blog

My mind does wander
My mind does see
Glories
In all their splendour
From here to eternity
Revel in their existence
Marvel that they be.

Yes, my mind does wander
My mind does see
Beauty all around
Beauty for all to see
Beauty in my heart
Beauty
Caressing me.

Have I Been Honest?

Have I been honest?
Have I been right?
Doesn’t matter it’s working tonight.

Isn’t it funny and mostly alright
Why not wander
To the far side of happy tonight?
