I Haven’t Got The Answer

Patrice Clarkson's Blog

I haven’t got the answer
Don’t know what is the fight
But standing, hands on hips
Feet planted on the ground
Ready to fight and stand
Stand my ground.

Fight for
What I know is good
And what I know is right
Guess that’s my answer
Guess that’s my fight.

Once Again

Hoping for, not knowing when
I’ll see your sweet face
Once again.

Will it be tomorrow
Or
The day after that?

When I do
I’ll weep, I’ll cry
For
I’ve seen your lovely face

Once again.

Lick Your Wounds

Lick your wounds
Forget your ego
Dust that battered self off
While looking
To the future

See what’s best for you 
Feel no regrets
Lose no sleep wondering why
What happened
Happened

Don’t go deep inside self-pity
Know this was a message
Sent 
To keep you well
Moving forward 

Not
Skipping a single
Beat.

You Heard Me Call

You heard me call. 

You heard me speak.

Whatever happened
that
you didn’t seek? 

Help
with all that’s wrong
makes you sad
makes you weep?

No help will come
If
we do not know.

No trouble solved
when
the answer isn’t seen
the question asked.

And
you sit in the midst
of what
you
just don’t know.

When I Hear Your Heart Beat

When I hear your heart beat 
I know you are near 
embracing
me 
comforting
 supporting
me 

When I hear your heart beat.

Need To Find

Need to find 
So desperately
The source of happiness 
All things that give life 
Making a life 
So divine 

May I forget 
Miserable 
May I need not
Remorse 
For I’ve found the beauty and joy
In this life 
This
That’s my life 
Of course.

I Know I’ve Been Lost

I know
I’ve been lost 
in the wilderness
of
low self esteem 

Climbing out 
has been hard 
rocks, crevasses 
unholy shards
pierce my skin, my life
my thoughts 

Still I climb 
I push, pull and shove 
to
a glorious world 
full of
grace, courage 
and
self-love.

Pull Me To The Centre

Patrice Clarkson's Blog

Pull me to the centre
Stand in front of me
Protect me from whatever comes
Wanting
To inflict harm on me.

If

If
a raven can hold a grudge 
a squirrel remember where she hid her pine cones and nuts 
trees alert their neighbouring trees that they have been attacked

What makes us humans so special?

I Know

I know
my heart is broken 

I know
life has stood still 

I know
I must move forward 

I know
my head, my heart, my legs, my feet are standing still 

I know
that anguish will be a ever present 

I know
that tears will flow 

I know 

I know 
but still 

still 

I love you so.
