Never Saw It Coming

Patrice Clarkson's Blog

Never saw it coming
Didn’t know it would
Now have to accommodate
With everything I should.

Never chose the situation
Didn’t know I could
But will immerse myself
Make it all that I should.

When Your Heart Is Sore

Patrice Clarkson's Blog

 

When your heart is sore
Your tears won’t dry
Remember
You’re not alone
We hear your cries.

Remember too
All who we’ve said goodbye
Are with us still
Only running now
Where angels fly.
~ Patrice

– My deepest sympathies to Jan and Doug in their heartbreaking loss.

The Morning Doesn’t Run Away

The morning doesn’t run away
It stands and looks ahead
To what will come to be
On this now, breaking day.

No regrets should start the way
no ‘what if’ nor nothing negative
Be brought to this new day.

Only anticipation, happiness
With excitement on the face
That stands, looks forward
To this one bright, perfect day.

My Heart

My heart rules, my heart says
Be the best and then leave the rest
Don’t look for bad nor tolerate those
That bring it.

My heart hears all kinds of things
Water crashing on distant shores
A baby bird looking for some more
The calling of a lonesome wolf.

My heart feels the touch of necessity
A coffee warm, so tasty
The gentle caress from one
So loved.

My heart does all these things
While beating life and breathe
Into everything.

There I Stand

There I stand
Soul, hat in hand
Searching, looking for the right way
The right stand.

Should I turn left
Or maybe right
Go forward or
Retreat into the dark of night?

No answer comes
No word spoken clear
Quiet, gentle silence moves me
Our bond unbroken here.

The Heart Is A Treasure

The heart is a treasure
Hopefully, never to be seen
It guides, beats life in a body
Where she is queen.

The mind may be king
But the heart, she is queen
Without her
The mind can’t do anything.

Giving life, birthing life
Holding life in between
No one lives a life without a heart
Hopefully, never to be seen.

Knows

I sit here and hope nothing will happen
Knowing well that is what will.

Not always the best but assured it will rest
In the arms of a heart that knows all
Knows best.
