Oh, the beauty in your eyes
Watching me
Embrace the passion
Of petals blooming
Listening to the sound
Of sun setting and greeting the night

I do so love trees. I love to run the palm of my hand along the length of them. They have the most amazing textures on their trunks and leaves. Then when you think you have seen it all, nature puts on a color show. I look off into the forest and listen to the trees whispering in the distance.

Oh! Behold its beauty!

Gather your feelings
Hide them in the clouds
Until the weight of time
Has blown them away
Forever

Branches showing off, the wild beauty of the blooms, delicate against the curve of its frame. Mother Earth cannot contain all of her beauty, she thrust it out for us to enjoy, my eyesight isolating her.

Nature is amazing, isn't it? These trees have adapted well, hanging on to the rocky beach. They actually act as a stabilizer, keeping everything in place.

Moving my boundaries,
Closer to you
Pushing my reach to see
How far my view can be

Some days you get the sunshine and other days, you are the sunshine. And just like that, this post is over. Come back tomorrow and we will do it again!

And a flower. There must be a flower to color my world. #alwaysalower This flower is dedicated to #TuesdayOrange #colorchallenge by @Kalemandra!

Thank you for visiting my post 💖 Because of you, I come back to post, again and again, Some days, it is not easy to see, how wonderful it really is. Kindness counts. Wherever you go, whatever you do.

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"
