Paul Barratt Poems

We are all just
Just here looking all around
Around the world, we have come
Come to a land
...

A memory lost.
A tear forms,
But I'm not sad.
Sad of the loss
...

Take pride,
Take pride for a walk.
Show it off,
Show it everywhere,
...

Of light by day I see your beauty
Of light by night I see your beauty
Your beauty shines in your eyes
Your beauty shines in side
...

Take time to really breath,
your life depends upon it.

Take time to really see,
...

The nature of rain remains the same.
It grows thorns in the marshes, and flowers in the lane,
And offers rainbows of beauty to ease the pain.
As life's pot holes can seem to drive us insane,
...

why does the cloud in the sky pass you by
when you can be looking down at the ground around
at this time in your mind
the past went so fast
...

Wanna look, I can hide
Nowhere to run
Run in my mind
To look on the inside
...

I awoke from a nightmare, an illusion of a dream.
Clutching, grasping for reality it seemed.
Was it real, was it really true?
Controlling the masses, chosen by a few.
...

So precious and fragile
We walk away
Taken for granted
We live to see another day
...
