i am sorry that the world looks down
on your skin
on the darkness of it
calling it ugly
unsightly
i am sorry
for the comrades you've lost
(mothers fathers sisters brothers
innocents)

i am sorry that
people shame you for
the color of your skin
as if you can do something about it
as if it were a curse
when all it does is symbolize
the strength
the tenacity of your people

i am sorry that society
breathes down on your necks
burns your fingers
whips your backs
i am so sorry so sorry
for everything

what
make
our
wings flutter
through
the
silver blue sky
up
through
the
clouds
against
the
windstorms
so high
when
we believe
the
things
we
see with our eyes

A ruthless tempest roars
Above my shoulder &
A lightning bolt shoots from
The sky in fractious rage.

The tears that trickle down
My face are mingling with
The raindrops, tumbling down
To feed the muddy ground.

I am angry.

In my bitter anguish.
I will not be silent;
I will not cry alone.
The Earth will share my pain.

I am the sun; I am
The rain; I am the wet;
I am the dry; I am
All forces of nature!

& tonight the Earth shall **shake!

Eyes wide as dishes,
love flowing inward and outward,
intertwined hearts beating,
conversations deep and open,
true thoughts beholden naught to any ideal,
it is the raw you that shines,
this moment shared is magic,
when you dance forever.

We watch the thunder in the sky
Listen to the lightenings cry
Feel the rain drops fall like dreams
Tears upon an open stream
Hold onto this moment
While the waves of life passes by
See the sunshine fall away
With hope it sees another day
What a voyage our lives can be
So set out to sea

We are a part of everything
And everything is a part of us
Don't sleep
Just dream
Close your eyes when you kiss
