My Heart Seems Broken

My heart seems broken
the world appears unfair
direction is lost
my world, my heart
are in
such deep despair.

It may be
tomorrow
the sun will shine
bringing healing, loving light
everywhere

But for now
in
this moment
all I feel is sadness, heartache
and
despair.
~ Patrice

My heart, my thoughts go out to those in Texas who have suffered such tragedy.

Hoping For A Way

Hoping for a way to belong 
belong to the day 
I see
unfolding 

Reach the morning light 
caress softly the fleeting sunset 
feel the rain 
let the wind blow 
empty
hollow thoughts away 
as
I embrace the magnificence
of an ever-changing
landscape 

This is where
I want to stand 
my feet firmly planted 
belonging 
in
this day, this world 
this land.

I Don’t Know Why

I don’t know why
You say the things you do

I don’t know why
I listen to you

I don’t know why
Nothing changes in the sea
The earth, the sky

I don’t know
Don’t know why.

As You Move Forward Into Eternity

Patrice Clarkson's Blog

As you move forward into eternity
Stop and look around
See majesty.

See forests, lawns, parks and lakes
See people, fawns and a most interesting place
Nothings ever dull if you but care to trace
The movement of the world
For it’s such a wondrous place.

Please move thru this time in space
With a light and tender thread
So they’ll only know you’ve been here
By all the good they felt
From your kind and gentle tread.

The Parcel Is Wrapped And Ready To Go

Patrice Clarkson's Blog

The parcel is wrapped and ready to go
To someone deserving this I know
But please let them see
Love wrapped happily and ready to go
To someone who’ll cherish it
And then let it go.

Don’t worry if it’s proper
Don’t worry if it’s right
Just send it off wrapped
Full of love
Tied lovingly tight.

Don’t wait for an answer
Nor expect one soon
Your love is the answer
Yours or someone who opens the parcel
All wrapped and ready to go
On to the world there to bestow
True love forever
Wherever it goes.

So just wrap a parcel
Fill it with love
Give it to someone
In need of a hug.

Let The World Go

Let the world go
Nothing more to be said
No regret, no should have or dread
Nothing more to be said
Let it go, let it go instead.

When The World Is Your Oyster

When the world is your oyster
And your heart filled with gold
Come tell me your story
And together we’ll build
Something breathtakingly bold.

Many The Border Cross

Many the border cross
Up to the promised land
Where joy
Wonder are lost.

No one is forsaken
Only lost in a world
Of no glory, sadness
Broken hearts.

Turn around
Turn back
The world you live in
Is not the one lost.

Only your way
That’s the thing
Lost.

Watch The Sun Filter Thru

Watch the sun filter thru
Watch your dreams come true
The world is yours to love
Yours to live
All is well as the sun comes
Brightly filtering thru.
