Maybe Tomorrow

Maybe tomorrow 
Maybe
Another day
Maybe it’ll feel like forever
In the way you feel
Today.

But

Your end will come
In a moment
Or
It may have come
Yesterday.

Your purpose, your mission
Is
To live each moment
Each day  
With joy and happiness.

So
When you close your eyes
For forever
You’ll smile
And
You’ll say

“That was fun 
That was, a good day!”

I’m Not Sure

Patrice Clarkson's Blog

I’m not sure what I’ll write
Something about yesterday
Maybe something
That will occur tonight.

No rules in place
No sayings to follow
Just hear that soft voice speak
And my writing, my words
They follow.

Honoured To Be Part

Honoured to be part of
A world caring 
Generous and loving 
Even if tomorrow storms gather 
Obscuring laughter 

It doesn’t matter 
For those clouds will part 
Be blown away 
All will be lovely once again
As it was just yesterday.

You Heard Me Call

You heard me call 
I didn’t say words needed 
Not yesterday.

All was lonely, all was not right 
You heard me call but turned away. 

Words stung, they torn away 
A facade built up way before today. 

You heard me call and laughed away
The sights envisioned for tomorrow
Created just today. 

I have stopped, I call no more
For words must be by someone else 
It’s not my work, not anymore.

Yesterday

Patrice Clarkson's Blog

When I think
Of all the things
That have disappeared
Gone away
Happened yesterday
My heart joins forces
With my soul
To help me understand
Why it all had to go away

Yesterday.

Quietly

 

Quietly I lay 
waiting for the sky 
to take away 
all the hurt, pain 
I experienced 
yesterday 

Quietly, quietly I lay.

Yesterday

When it happened
What did you say
How did you rationalize
All the people breaching
The Capital building
Yesterday?

Nothing, no one
Can make it seem right
in
Today
Tomorrow
or
Yesterday.

Beginning A New Year

Patrice Clarkson's Blog

Beginning a new year
A new day
Leaving all that’s bad
In yesterday.

Bringing with me
Only love and joy
Created there
In my yesterday.

Let Me Be, Let Me See

©

Let me be, let me see

All the magic unfolding

Here in front of me

Let no one say

I didn’t laugh or cry

In the face of yesterday

Maybe then

I’ll be happy

In spite of all I think

I’ll never be

Today.

So Much To Say

So much to say
So little paper to write it
All out
What so many people are talking
Laughing, talking about.

Suffice to say
When I find that scrap of paper
Filed somewhere
Yesterday
I’ll laugh, I’ll cry.

Because even then
I know there’s been
So much to say
So little paper to write it
All out.
