DARKNESS UPON THE FACE OF THE DEEP
SPIRIT OF GOD MOVE UPON US AS WE SLEEP
Hi, my name's Regina Pate
You may not know me by name
Although, I'm sure
You've seen me somewhere before
I am the daughter of creation
I have left my parents to begin my own journey
This is my life
I show up when you lest expect me
Or maybe when you need me the most
Sometimes you search for me
And that makes me happy
I am the one who was with your friend that time
at your house, and you welcomed me into your home
Also, that time when you need help around your house
It was me who offered my hand
Remember that time when you gave me a ride
and asked me where I'm going?
I'm the stranger you never knew
Listen,
I was born in Houston, TX
raised in San Antone
moved from there to Dallas
now I'm on my own
Wait a minute
I'm the one with the familiar face
whose name you seem to just misplace
Check it out
Nobody knows me
but everybody has their own idea
So,...
I am the daughter of your imagination
the only child of your creation
I am whatever you say I am
you made me this way
I am what you see
I know you haven't seen me in awhile
but,
I hope, I made you half-ass smile!
When will you see me again?
A day,
A week,
A month,
A year?
Several years may pass you by
before you stop and wonder why
but when you do, it won't be long
before you hear my sparrow's song
There are many people whom I call mom and dad
And I really hope their not too mad
I had to go
I'm not sure exactly why
but when I figure it out
I'll be sure to stop on by
I remain unafraid in the black of night
I'm lost, I know that now
I'll get there someday
I'm learning' how
There are some really nice people out there
Who really do sincerely care
They cross my path everyday
Give me my directions
Send me on my way
This is my story
I hope it's not to boring
Listen
If you want to see me
Here I am
I am not a famous movie star
I am not a fairy princess
no,
I AM
the daughter of your imagination
The only child of your creation

This is one of the most beautiful and well-written poems I have ever read. if you write poems for fifty more years, this will always be a classic.It will tug on every one's heart-strings, because The poem is not only about you. it is also about all of us.
It has been a while since I have read this, but I think it is much better than last time. The stanzas definitely help. There are still a couple of spelling errors, but who's counting. This work is very good.
This poem is one of the better ones I have read. I can almost see the emotion flowing out of it. I really feel inspired by it, but deep down, something reminds me I'm not that good at poetry. Anyway, I think this is a very good poem! Good job!
Ah, this reads much, much better. It flows easier and the imagery is well defined now. I'm glad you put it into stanzas. Again, I think that this poem speaks of the complexity of the human psyche and how one person can be now and for ever, so many things to so many people. I think you did a wonderful job here.
Regina, the only thing that comes to mind when I read this poem is, and here it comes, I'm going out on a limb, here, Jungian Archetypes. There are hundreds of archetypes, maybe thousands, there is really no way to know. But when I read this, it reminds me of all the different facets of an archetype. You have a lot to say and you say it with much conviction, but like David mentioned, you should divide your work into stanzas, it's easier on the reader and provides, as David mentioned, a breather between phrases. You also need to spell-check your work. There are some typos in your poem that need to be corrected.
Welcome !
