Honey look at me.
It saddens me to see water fall
From such a face.
A face that shows despair,
With ears that heard devastating words,
Lies, unkind names,
The end of a love.
With eyes that witnessed care,
Whatever was left of it.
But you haven't seen yourself in a while.
You glimmer in the light with a warm gold that seeps from your skin,
Revealing the imperishable rays of your persistence.
Your tears are diamonds.
Your face shows power. And with every drop of validity...
Your face tells us why you stayed here with us,
On this earth.

Nature Caressing Me
The earth below my feet grounded me. I was connected to the trees through the roots in the ground beneath my body. The wind brushing against my ears and skin, softly playing through my hair. It gave me a hug as it disintegrated me into air. The loud beauty of the rushing water could be heard from the lake nearby. No flowers around me, but I didn't mind. There were tall green trees instead. Only one bird could be heard. Hypnotized by its song, I followed and found a red jay. My eyes glued to it, until it flew away. If only I could perfectly explain how I see everything, but the words could only flow through the sensation of nature caressing me.
