The Ripe Color Of My Skin Has Perished,
Along With The Wide Smile I Once Bore,
Music In My Soul Which I Once Cherished,
Has Fallen Flat And Crumbled To The Floor

The Sweet, Joyful Sun Has Dissipated,
The Flowers Within My Heart Have Withered,
My Mind Has Never Been Vindicated,
My Green Eyes Clouded With Blue Of Blizzard

The Autumn Leaves Are Ragged And Soggy,
As If They Wanted To Mimic My Lips,
The Moaning Voice Of The Breeze Is Groggy,
As It Caresses The Earth's Swinging Hips

O, I Remember The Smile I Wore,
Although, I Recall It Being A Chore
Absence of color,
Absence of inspiration,
motive,
and
mind...

Missed you all.
You are my world
You are the Earth
You are the sky
You are the dirt
You are the water
You are the clouds
You are my shelter
You make me proud
You have scars upon your skin
You are not perfect you committed sins
You are beautiful like a flower
You are a king raining with power
You are my gift like frankincense, gold and mirth
You my dear, are my most treasured gift on Earth...
Thinking about my future husband...
Not by me but by my awesome niece Jocelyn <3
Kindness is weakness in the eyes of those yet to see strength.
