C’est Moi – September 10, 2021

children's, Grief, life, poetry 1 Minute

It’s how I see you

Whole

And kind

With an outer shell

That sometimes

Keeps you from your own heart

Blind

And focused

I see you

For the person you are

And have always been

The little you

So full of life

And smiling

The cracks

That have been so carefully placed

Shaping everything

Loved and hated

    1. Thank you so much. The day is good, but it is turning cold here fast. And all the trees seemed to dump their leaves yesterday. So now instead of looking up to see the beauty, I find myself looking down…under the best of terms.

      I hope the same for you 😊

      1. We lost most of our leaves last week on a very windy day. That’s all it took! Things are good. I’m keeping busy in the studio and getting the garden ready for winter! Glad to hear you are well!

  2. Just wonderful. I read it out aloud. I don’t know why, but it felt good to do it that way and it worked. “I see you /For the person you are / And have always been / The little you / So full of life”
    Simply wonderful 💚

    1. Sometimes I wonder if people read poems out loud, like I do 😊. I usually read it through once in my head (trying to figure out the mood of the piece), and a second time out loud, and I love when a rhythm emerges…it’s almost music with words.

      Thank you for sharing this, I am so very happy you enjoyed the feeling ❤️
