the ocean blue

 i recall when first mine eyes captured the beauty of the ocean blue, my heart fluttered, my breathing became full and deep, i could feel my spirit dancing in rhythm with the tides washing in, knowing that they are moving away and come toward me because the Earth is moving round and round


when mine eyes close for the last time to give this body its time to rest, i shall leave the challenges that it's met along the way, in the years gifted with life on this mundane sojourn, the winds against its face, the jagged stones underneath the naked feet, and the dehydration from tears shed of loss and sad but also of smiles and joy of love

self love

 

it is this that must be known, that must be embraced

the mountain that stands before you, although grand and tall,

is not unlike yourself, for both seem to be tethered to the earth

below yet the mountain tip lives amongst the clouds and kisses the sky,

so too with you, although not as tall or maybe as grand in size,

you can reach up and tough the wind that allows the clouds to hover by

and if you look up, you too can kiss the sky...
