Seen Poems - Poems about Seen

About my soul, I feel at peace. I know that it will make its flight to Heaven after that last breath. In thoughts of Heaven, I delight. Why am I sure of what transpires when children of the Savior die? Can I provide proof positive that what I hold to is not a lie? I can declare that I have faith: “the...

No! Nobody forgets you. They just remember themselves more. It’s not hate, not truly. It’s the noise of their lives that drowns out the quiet of yours. They don’t sit around thinking of you. Not because you don’t matter, but because their minds are crowded with unpaid bills, unfinished dreams, and mirrors that lie to them, too. Nobody misses a poor person. Not out loud. Not where it counts. Because poverty makes...

Stand up strong, let courage lead, Be the force the world may need. Though it may leave you weak or bare, Embrace the cause placed by His care. The difference you make will never fade, Through waters deep and unafraid. Though trials strike and illness rise, Heaven’s wisdom never dies. The fleeting earth will fade away, Yet God’s strong tower stays steady. Whatever comes, we...

Before you came I spoke through rivers and trees, the flat plains spilling distance out to where the world was a mirage and time shimmered dreamlike plunging downwards into a vast inner sea. Fish swam where now rocky outcrops rise above the red earth and exotic lifeforms floated silently through a celestial dark. All was an ocean of dream, creations womb where earth, sky and water were...

I have seen falling stars in the eyes of shadows, dancing on the dark sky of unspoken words. I have stood in ballrooms filled with sculpted smiles, hiding glass daggers in velvet pockets. I have shaken hands that seemed like contracts with forgotten spirits, promising loyalty that evaporates into subtle betrayals. I have seen good men bend under the weight of...

I’ve bloomed well past blossom season, no fleshy pink petals here. Wrinkles appear now. Feet left by crow. You see the grey in the brown, see a patch of scalp showing. You see the change in my gait, see my once brisk pace slowing. But what you don’t see is me: I am no longer desirable,...

When you don’t know What you can’t do Then the unimaginable Comes naturally to you When you've never seen What you couldn’t be Then your vision Grows wings that keep you free When you’re not aware of What tomorrow brings Then hope is a magnetic springboard That can attract anything When your dreams soar unencumbered By gender, age, ability, or space Then the very wind will propel your goals Onto...

he knew me in ways i didnt yet know myself saw the sharp edges i hid from the world and traced them gently like they were meant to be held, not feared he knew when silence meant i wasnt fine when my laughter was just a shield never asked me to change, took me whole and only held space for...

In my dream I've seen Rows and rows of cats Faces of different breeds They all stare at me Without speaking out Sliding slow to show A slide show to watch The many breeds shown As quickly they came they all disappeared...

Hey, Grace. Do you know where I last left my face? Did I happen to leave it in your lap, after taking that quick nap? Or perhaps, after that embrace, did I leave it in your narrow crawlspace? No? Oh, crap! She said, "Oh, that just can't be! This poem has no semblance to reality!" I said, "How can you say that, when...
