The vision in my thoughts
Gives me reason to pause
Whispering your name
Aloud
Senses the need to put some away
For that rainy day
Ahead
Stick a little sunshine and happiness in your pocket before you go out. You never know where there will be a shortage. — give a little, get a little.
Today is #TreeTuesday initiated by @Old-Guy-Photos. Let's put up some trees today! If you haven't guessed it by now, this tree is one of my favorites. I walk right by him whenever I go out for a run or walk. No matter which way I go, it always comes back to him.
Set aside the wonder - before cold invades my soul
Explore the splendor, preserve the joy
I can nearly form an image – a picture in my mind
A piece of the green, as it may be, will someday grow up to be a tree. Conceivably.
May I interrupt this #TreeTuesday for a moment or three? A flower. There must always be a flower. This flower is dedicated to #TuesdayOrange #ColorChallenge by @Kalemandra, who colors my world, every single day.
The intrusion of space
I close my eyes to the day, but, lay very much awake
Watching you disappear into obscurity
So the joy may touch your soul
Oh, the allure of all things lovely.
I always post this poem down at the bottom of my posts. It is one that has become so near and dear to my heart. I only post the most famous part of it, but, wanted to post it in its entirety today.
i cried the way women on tv do
folding at the middle
like a five pound note.
i called the boy who use to love me
tried to ‘okay’ my voice
i said hello
he said warsan, what’s wrong, what’s happened?
and these are what my prayers look like;
dear god
i come from two countries
one is thirsty
the other is on fire
both need water.
i held an atlas in my lap
ran my fingers across the whole world
and whispered,
"where does it hurt?"
it answered,
"everywhere"
"everywhere"
