The Day
Tija Hawkins Feb 2019
I fall in love with the day, the suns ray hits the side of my face. Feels like a soft warm kiss. I feel loved. I appreciate the way I am able to live and breath. Inhale & exhale as the wind blows by - such a cool breeze. I look up and see the birds as they fly together in a pack - a bird in the front and one in the back. They work together to get to their destination. I commend them because they seem to work with no hesitation. Maybe, we, humans can learn a thing or two. Work cohesively as we do what we do. Less fighting more peace! Is that the next chant? The day is beautiful, so I want to cherish it. I won’t take it for granted as hours, minutes, seconds pass by. Hold your head up girl, you’re doing fine. Take a moment , think about life. I think about the goals that I set that seem pretty high. Life is Something so short but it could have me up thinking all night. I won’t let no thoughts faze me. I have learned to love the day cause i.d.k. if I will have another chance. Everyday is a blessing, do and be your very best. Learn to smile and give love till you are laid to rest. And if the day is bad , don’t be vexed but remember the day that is coming up next.

Stay dope.

Imagination
Tija Hawkins Sep 2017
It sounded like a knock on the door, I answer it hoping that it was the being I have been wanting to see.
I guess it was just my unsteady imagination steadily waiting to see who I have been meaning, waiting, longing to see.
It played me. Dang.
The imagination can come up with a image that you can imagine that will take you throughout all the nations.
Imagination.
Picture in your head an image of a nation you always wanted to visit. It's so realistic so firm and so vivid.
But in a blink of an eye the nation you imaged was gone.
You're imagination played you once again.
Sike it said; don't be so quick to pull that trigger to escape from this wonderland.
Everything you see that may seem nice isn't good for you.
That's something you should've learned sitting around in your old neighborhood.
Don't be hoodwinked by this thing again.
Snap back into reality and renew your mind.
If you do that it's the only way you can be renewed from the inside.
