The Love In All Eyes

Hats and pearls and 2 beautiful girls
in the infancy of their promise
Time takes its toll but also bestows
a grace that it truly time-honored

Their crowns are strong, they were all along
their tresses were wild— like fire
They couldn’t be tamed, why should that be the aim?
It’s their wildness conducting the choir 

They’d met long before— it’s cosmic allure—
knowing something harmonious would rise
Truth, contemplation, no sticky stagnation
And savoring the love in all eyes

The pearls hung with care— little beads of prayer
round the bright blue voices they owned
Speaking their minds with strength redefined
surfing the vibes they belovedly honed

They’ve donned their hats— released hooks from the past
each using their hands to heal
From heart centered truth— each a hopeful recruit
on the mission towards divinity’s reveal

Mingling & What Not

Art Source: Ashley Percival

Went out last night— to a party.
Very brave of me, mingling and what not.
Talked with some, avoided others. 
Stares morphed into quick look-aways.
Snap judgments were tiny darts.
Damn, always feeling what others blessedly miss.
Too damn sensitive-- true, I am.
How dare they? They don’t know me.  
Shame on them. 
I’m fantastic.
