her aura gleams

I dance in her reflection

I dance to the sight of the beauty

I dance in admiration

I dance in celebration.

“This, too, I carefully explored: Even though the actions of godly and wise people are in God’s hands, no one knows whether God will show them favor. The same destiny ultimately awaits everyone, whether righteous or wicked, good or bad, ceremonially clean or unclean, religious or irreligious. Good people receive the same treatment as sinners, and people who make promises to God are treated like people who don’t. It seems so wrong that everyone under the sun suffers the same fate. Already twisted by evil, people choose their own mad course, for they have no hope. There is nothing ahead but death anyway. There is hope only for the living. As they say, “It’s better to be a live dog than a dead lion!” The living at least know they will die, but the dead know nothing. They have no further reward, nor are they remembered. Whatever they did in their lifetime—loving, hating, envying—is all long gone. They no longer play a part in anything here on earth. So go ahead. Eat your food with joy, and drink your wine with a happy heart, for God approves of this! Wear fine clothes, with a splash of cologne! Live happily with the woman you love through all the meaningless days of life that God has given you under the sun. The wife God gives you is your reward for all your earthly toil. Whatever you do, do well. For when you go to the grave, there will be no work or planning or knowledge or wisdom. I have observed something else under the sun. The fastest runner doesn’t always win the race, and the strongest warrior doesn’t always win the battle. The wise sometimes go hungry, and the skillful are not necessarily wealthy. And those who are educated don’t always lead successful lives. It is all decided by chance, by being in the right place at the right time. People can never predict when hard times might come. Like fish in a net or birds in a trap, people are caught by sudden tragedy.”

Beach babe

Ocean breeze

Met with

Ocean waves

The vibrance

The color

The melanin

The color

The expectation

The warped reality

What a trip this was

What a trip I wanted it to be

The sun can fuel your spirit

It can melt away The negativity of your mind

It can do so much if you let it

It also allows you to hide yourself behind the shade or your hands

To escape into hats, mask, and shadows

Tears can fall as you shiver under the breeze of the beach

You have to give to receive

I tried to recieve the light

Without letting go

I asked the sun to wash away my strife

And it required me to offer it up

But instead i received more

I added to my pile of dismay

And let it cook under the pressure of the heat

I clutched onto my layers of aggravation

And added heat

A photo

An image

An idea

An ideal

But a memory

The story behind it

Behind the editing

Behind the “candidacy”

The memory will last

And the longer I ponder on it

The less I’ll remember

The more I recall

The less I’ll get right

So this photo stands

But who knows where this trip will fall

We use each other to move each other

We push and pull

Till we’re both fulfilled

I speak you listen

You guide I follow

You challenge me to be it all

You challenge me to be my best self

I inspire you I think

I challenge you to see a different point of view

I challenge you to be great

You love me

Purely

You love me in a way I’ve never seen before

You loved me as God Loves us all

You loved me unconditionally.

You never forget about me. I always said I was a Christian, but I saw God when I met you.

You were always there when I needed.

You didn’t know I needed you but you knew to call.

I didn’t always know I needed you but I was always glad when you called.

You are always patient with me

You give me the space to be

You make me want to

Your spirit gives me permission to open up

Your being gave me the encouragement to want to be free.

I always wanted to meet someone

I could grow with

And here I am

catching myself bloom

I always said I was a Christian

But I never met God until I met you

One day you said I love you

and it felt like the most comforting words. I felt accepted.

It felt so Pure

You said you loved me and I believed you

you said it again and again

And I couldn’t breathe

you thanked God for making me

and I thanked God for making you.

One day you said you didn’t love me

Because of how I looked or what I could do. You didn’t love me because I made you feel a certain way

You said you loved me because you loved God

You said you loved me simply because you do.

Your spirit saw mine and they grew and glowed.

They loved each other

We brightened each other’s lights

I saw God in you and it brought to life the God in me.

I’ve heard that words 1,000 times

That God is Love

But I never knew those word till the Day you said them

I had never met God until I met you
