When all eyes turn to nature
When all hearts brush the trees
Whisper into the leaves

When all feet steps the grass
When all hands grasps the seeds
Speak into the trees

When all lips breathe the wind
When all bodies swamp the waves
Shout into the sea

Very much Alive
Very much Here
Very much waiting for a Career
ummm Idk maybe a feeling
Try living in paradise

Still recovering from trauma

Thinking about the ones left behind



Feeling sun on brown skin

While buildings burn down

Today was like any other



Enjoying cool ocean waters

While salt washes festering wounds

Fresh flesh like grapefruit is pink



Looking to the distant stars

Trampling on growing daisies

Only to lay in a field of them



Howling loud at worship

While fearing the whites of saved eyes

Lift every voice and sing



To dance and to be joyful

While quakes lulls sleeping babies

When the dust settles what remains

It took 30 years

For me

To feel powerful

It may take

Another

To

Believe it
In 30 years where do you see yourself?

I have lived 30 years

Living 30 years of experiences

All of them the same me
A reflection on turning 30 last year.

Am I an empty cup
Are my contents used up
Or are you still filling
Only to be over spilling
I’m about to topple over
From the stress around my corners
So hurry lift me up
And please drink up
Tamara Walker Mar 2022
Burning incenses in my room
Scents engulfing my brain
In hand one drink or two
My way to stay sane
Just wanna drink alone
Without company I’m fine
Others think otherwise
I know what it looks like
Choosing loneliness for comfort
To me it’s a complete feeling
But my cup is never empty
It keeps me good company
