Tired and worn out, I strap up my Pointe shoes and stretch
Feet bleeding
Face dripping with sweat
Pirouettes and fetes back to back to back
Nothing stops me
Not even the fact that I just heard my knee crack
Leap after leap after leap
Soaring in the air, I do not feel the ache in my feet
Part One is done
On to the next
Hip Hop
My favorite type of dance
Sports bra, 23's, Sweats
Warm up vibe session since I'm already stretched
Music pumps through my soul
I feel it vibrate through my soul
My feet glide across the floor as I release the fire within
Left foot, then right
Body takes flight
Time stops and the Earth stops its ongoing rotation
I glide and move replaying each and every tear, argument, and moments of frustration
I dance every moment of everyday
I dance to make the pain go away
Dance to the rhythm of the African Drum
Dance to the rhythm of the bass in my favorite song
Dance to the pulse, to the heartbeat of my baby girl, my little one
Dance because its all I know
Dance until the tears, pain and heartache cease to flow...

"Tic"

a second added to infinity.
it's life gifted
by the death of countless seconds-
from the first generation to now-
this captured moment

but time, like nature, is indifferent;
obedient only to the Eternal.

once it gives,
it takes

"Toc"
Time flies. Each passing second renders our daily activities meaningless. What becomes of our seemingly eternal consciousness- "eternal" because we cannot remember when we first came into existence. Yes we have photographs and documents to tell the exact second we were concieved, but none to show us when we were borne.
Is life energy? Is life made of complex chemicals? Will our conscience survive when we die? Or is it not of the earth to begin with?

Your thoughts? (Comment below if you have one
You're the most beautiful person I've ever seen.
So I go up to you and say hi and become friends.
Friends.
Friends.
I wish I could just tell you I love you.
But I won't be able to take it if you don't feel the same.
My dad just recently told me he got a job and we're moving.
Far away.
I love you.
I want to be with you for the rest of my life.
I tell her.
SHE FEELS THE SAME.
We kiss and it's wonderful.
But I remember.
I'm going to miss you I say.
I will miss you too she says.
We kiss.
We say goodbye.
Tears roll down her cheek.
I whipe them away with my thumb and say.
I love you.
And everyone else around you loves you.
It will be okay.
she looks at me and smiles.
Her smile.
I get in the car.
We start rolling away.
I'll never see her again.
I love her.

                      Every single             One

From the beginning     knew of the end

Knew  of      Reasons and knew

Without any doubt

What it means to be good

For GOODNESS contains ALL meaning

And MEANING means form
And MEANING means purpose

And a sense of COMPLETION became the
foundation of what was the interplay of opposites

which came to be known as

NIGHT AND  DAY

And thus a sense of    Continuity

Developed

Such as

The first Day
The Second Day

She stares out the window
hoping to see
something beautiful
that will give her glee

She sees nothing
it's bare, hallow, empty
the only thing she sees
are the tears clumped up in her eyes
about to fall

Maybe someday
she'll look out of the window
and see the beauty
that lays within her

You’re showing me like i dont mean a thing.
Like a bird without a wing.
Honestly it’s a shame to see me crying.
And i can’t help this tears from falling.

Lonely breeze left me chilling.
The sun keep on hiding.
And i cant fool my feeling,
That my heart is dreaming.

I can’t run barefoot in thorns.
You can’t hide in thunderstorms.
When you laugh, I cry.
You turned your back,I die.

Scattered paper,
Full of notes and How much I care.
To show you how much you mean.
And to treasure you like a queen.
