Beach Bod

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

I woke up like this

Today I woke up to such a strange feeling

I think it was love.

I woke up wanting to sing and I didn’t stop myself

I woke up wanting to kiss every inch of my body because I was overwhelmed with how much I appreciated it keeping me safe

How it’s kept me going

I kissed my gently crafted skin because it’s one of a kind

It was made just for me and it’ll stay just mine

How special is that

That this body was made for me by someone who loved me and wanted me to love it too

And I do

So I kissed my skin again and again

Thanking God for making it

Making me

Deeming me worthy to even wake up THIS morning.

For giving me the chance to use my being to do something Good today.

For filling me with this peace and gratitude for existence that I had been asking for.

This was no mere coincidence waking up this way

This was an answered prayer

I still haven’t left my bed

Wanting to float in this feeling

Not wanting to disturb the serenity that this moment of time has provided .

God I don’t know what I’ve done different.

But thank you

I’m excited to share this with someone

I know my smile to be contagious

And today’s glow,

I hope

better spread like a wild fire.

It malfunctioned

In the mist of it all

I shine

In the space of existence

I float

I swim

I tred

I become

I move though time

As my own light

I move with grace

I stumble

I fail

I make wrong turns

But each step I take

Is the right one

The journey is even more

If not

Just as

Important as the unknown destination

.

.

A beam of being slides through the universe

What would you call such a happenstance?

Our world was meant for loving

It’s human to love

The golden rule is treat others the way you want to be treated

Love each other as God has loved us

Unconditionally

If someone darked your day or night

Maybe even you’re life

It’s because they haven’t seen the light

They don’t even know what it looks like

They are clearly stuck under these clouds and need help

Yes it hurts

But they are hurt too

You have to

You must must must

Love everyone

You don’t have To like them

But love them please

Imagine a world where we all can shine

Where the sun covers every person and every inch of land

Love love love

Always
