Within "Feeling Alive" are poems and prayers about the struggles with faith and the battles between reality, the mind, heartbreak, grief, and the sense of self.
excerpt from one of the poems "God is building his kingdom. God is getting everything into place. We hear his words, we see it in action, And everything is as it should be in his Great Plan. Maybe, I was confused at first. Maybe for once I believe that we don’t need to know everything We might be neighbors, We might not see inside each other’s homes But we are still beside each other, beside ourselves, inside the world’s house."
what a wonderful and reflective poetry collection. roxie has done it once again.
feeling alive is roxie’s second book of poetry, and dare i say, even more heartfelt than the first. roxie peels back so many layers, exuding a collection of honest, raw, and transparent pieces that will pierce the toughest of frames.
at the crux of feeling alive, roxie holds the reader’s hand as she gently guides them through some of life’s toughest challenges by imploring them to hold fast to their faith and inner strength.
