It’s Week Two of National Poetry Month!

Today, I’m sharing another poem from my teens/early twenties. I wrote this one at twenty years old. I don’t really remember when or why—I was writing a lot during this time. But it’s one of my favorites. Enjoy!

Bones

You are bones

Covered with flesh

And skin to hold you in.

You are nerves

And cells

And organs

A heart that beats.

But that is not all you are.

You are essence.

A soul, a purpose,

Despite how you may appear.

What you are

Is who you are,

In dim lights

And reactions to fear.

You are not merely bones.

You are a purpose

A being of life

From which

A breeze of breath

God breathed into you

To pursue this journey.

To make you

ALIVE

Till Next Time,

Sarah
