Show Me the Patterns

Regina Coupar

 

show me the patterns

remind me that
I have stood
in this place
have said these words
have thought these thoughts
have cried these tears

remind me that
I have wallowed
in self pity
boasted with arrogance
cursed with anger
shriveled in fear
savoured both
bitterness and joy

remind me that
I have gathered
broken pieces
made new arrangements
I have sorted and measured
I have tested
and learned from my mistakes

remind me that
I have stood
in this place
said these words
thought these thoughts
cried these tears

show me the patterns
