Beautiful Soul

 

Stars in eyes, let me stare at you like your the most beautiful thing i've ever seen, let me live around you with a joyful skip in my soul, let me teach you all how to pray, let me help you notice sunrises and sunsets and flowers, clouds and stars.  Beautiful soul let my innocence shine through, let my smile make your world ok, let me run from you across fields of flowers and when you catch me let me laugh heartily and let you lay your head in my lap as we watch her chase butterflies...

Beautiful soul let me wake you up with butterfly kisses, let me sing sweet things, let me stroke your hair and make you believe it's all ok, beautiful soul, let me peek at you around the door happy tears in eyes as i watch you rock our children to sleep, let me oh let me bring the beauty in the world to life for you every day.  Let me run you baths and cook your meals, let me sit and help you, i wanna read for you, encourage you, build you...

Beautiful soul let me dance around in circles and let my dress flow, let me stare at you so in love so sure,  hold me back as i playfully run, and watch me sleep , Beautiful soul let me have you captivated, Beautiful soul let me love you...through lifes journey, let me teach you to give to the poorest, to forgive the hardest, to carry the weakest, to appreciate the smallest....

   

Beautiful soul, let me love you....

AUTHENTIC ME

There aint nothing poetic about this blog simply because there aint nothing poetic about what i saw....as to not confuse you let me bring you up to speed.  Today i felt the need to change my desktop background to match my current journey, i wanted to find a picture that represented my african feminine hearts strength and desired surrender to God, something serene and graceful and not dripping with hopelessness that is companion to so many of us, i wanted a picture that would clearly represent that i was now fed up and ready to kick the devils butt and become who i am meant to be, that of course is a whole other blog which i will journal as soon as i've figured out how to journey it.... Any who so there i was googling and came across a sight with alot of african art, alot of it was beautiful but then i ran across two pictures that rubbed my african self up the wrong way!  We have forgotten our elegance and grace...

This aint us, this aint african beautiful, we have curves and grace and our own form of beauty, a wise friend of mine said if you judge a fish by its ability to climb trees it will live its whole life thinking it's stupid, we have lost our ability to appreciate our own beauty because we are accepting to be fish judged by our ability to climb, we swim and swim well, we need to unstraightin that hair and unflatten those hips, unrefine that accent and unlighten that skin, we need to love the true beauty that engulfs an african woman ...

"don't be hating on my hips, size twenty eight my curvatious toosh"

I LIVE !

Here’s to a list of things I don’t need no more (so I’m throwing you out)
Hurt you took up my time and too many of my tears so I’m waving good bye…
Disappointment you told me that was my last chance, that good would never come again, I soon discovered that’s a lie, so to you too a hearty goodbye
Fear you tried to box me, undermine me, leash me, all those things you thought I’d given up on watch this space, I’m burning you today
Insecurities, turns out you have no idea what so ever who I am, how amazing I am and just about anything about who I can be so I’m ending your reign
Hands full of things that don’t matter no more put them down,
Heart holding onto things that should have long left, say goodbye
Life I will  live you, hope I will trust you.
Every smile I claim you, every joy I embrace you,  every challenge I’ll face you, every success I’ll experience you, every heart beat you’ll count, garments of my past I shed you, pain, rejection, disappointment you have made an appearance but you weren’t the end of the story, here’s where I turn and walk away, no I won’t fight you for my all, I already have defeated your purpose, when I got on my knees and prayed, the God I serve He’s made you small, and now with my reclaimed all, beauty, strength, courage, love, I WILL LIVE!
 

^{Psalm 118}

¹⁹ Open to me the gates of righteousness;
         I will go through them,
         And I will praise the LORD.
 ²⁰ This is the gate of the LORD,
         Through which the righteous shall enter.
  
 ²¹ I will praise You,
         For You have answered me,
         And have become my salvation.
  
 ²² The stone which the builders rejected
         Has become the chief cornerstone.
 ²³ This was the LORD’s doing;
         It is marvelous in our eyes.
 ²⁴ This is the day the LORD has made;
         We will rejoice and be glad in it.

 

For the moment you come face to face with the knowledge of your destiny, mercy to all that from that point dares to try to stand in your way, we will not be broken!
" We can do ALL things! "
