We grow wild, running in the sun. Cast your shadow and keep company with the shine of the day.
I think I need a carefree, fun kind of day. Didn't you ever just want to run up to a stranger on the street and say "YOU'RE IT!!" and then run away?
Raise your hand and confess! You know you wanted to!
Today is brought to you by #BeautifulSunday by @Ace108 where you show off how you spend your day and also #SublimeSunday by @c0ff33a where any random post will do.
And, of course, we must have a flower, always...to color my world. I dedicate this picture to #SundayPurple for the #ColorChallenge by @Kalemandra. Nobody colors like she does.
Today I woke to the sound of rain beating against the windows. Dashing my plans, I looked for other things I wanted to do, but, decided it was a day to clean out closets instead. Oh, the need to be clean overrode the fun in me. But, there will always be another day, another day. So, while I am cleaning closets (and no, Ace, you may not see them) I will bring you a few words and verse.
Behind those beautiful flowers, after the day is done, the air – it fills with quiet, my heart beat clearly slow. Oh, the beauty behind the flowers, it’s not in what you see. It’s those thousand tears that have fallen, the light beyond what's seen.
Cleaning the closet, I came across a treasure found in my purse: A paid lunch receipt from an unknown person. The random act rekindled in my heart, more than a year later. Wherever you are, you kind and thoughtful somebody, I think often of the acts of kindness bestowed upon me.
A whisper left upon my lips. The shadow of night caressing my soul. The stillness in my heart, as the sweetest of dreams gently kiss me goodnight.
Oh, your loveliness carries soft delicate feelings - like a warm whisper passing swiftly by.
And just like that, these musings are done. I want to thank @ace108 and @c0ff33a for hosting these challenges and just so you know, while it may still raining, I can guarantee that there is still a little sunshine left in my heart. Have a most fabulous day!
Thank you for visiting my post 💖 Because of you, I come back to post again and again, I am encouraged by you, for the time you take to visit, comment or even upvote. For all of these reasons, I am eternally grateful. Don't ever forget what a wonderful world we live in, people. Let's hold hands around the globe and make this earth really spin. Some days, it is not as easy to see, how wonderful it really is. Kindness counts. Wherever you go, whatever you do.
I always post this poem down at the bottom of my posts. It is one that has become so near and dear to my heart. I only post the most famous part of it, but, wanted to post it in its entirety today.
they set my aunts house on fire
i cried the way women on tv do
folding at the middle
like a five pound note.
i called the boy who use to love me
tried to ‘okay’ my voice
i said hello
he said warsan, what’s wrong, what’s happened?
i’ve been praying,
and these are what my prayers look like;
dear god
i come from two countries
one is thirsty
the other is on fire
both need water.
later that night
i held an atlas in my lap
ran my fingers across the whole world
and whispered,
"where does it hurt?"
it answered,
"everywhere"
"everywhere"
"everywhere"
