Today, I found out that I could walk away from you and even though I may look back at past moments shared, I'll never be fond of you in the same way, ever. I also found hope in the little steps I've taken to express myself through art. Therapeutic.

Behold a lady

The classic lady is a rare breed indeed.

I love Nikki Giovanni's Ego Trip. It describes a lady, perfectly.

 

I was born in the Congo

I walked to the fertile crescent and built the Sphinx

I designed a pyramid so tough that a star

that glows every one hundred years falls into

the center giving divine perfect light

I AM BAD

I sat on the throne

drinking nectar with Allah

I got hot and sent an ice age to Europe

to cool my thirst.

My oldest daughter is Nefertiti

the tears from by birth pains created the Nile

I am a beautiful woman

I gazed on a forest and burned out the

Sahara Desert

With a packet of goat’s meat

and a change of clothes-

I crossed it in two hours

I am a gazelle so swift-

so swift- you can’t catch me

For a birthday present when he was three

I gave my son Hannibal an elephant-

He gave me Rome for Mother’s Day

My strength flows ever on

My son Noah built new/ark and

I stood proudly at the helm

as we sailed on a soft summer day

I turned myself into myself-

and was Jesus!

men intone my loving name

All praises- All praises

I am one who would save

I sowed diamonds in my backyard

My bowels deliver uranium

the filings from my fingernails

are semi-precious jewels

On a trip north I caught a cold and blew my nose

giving oil to the Arab world

I am so hip- even my errors are correct

I sailed east to reach west- and had to round off the

earth as I went

The hair from my head thinned and gold was laid

across three continents

I am so perfect, so divine, so ethereal, so surreal

I cannot be comprehended

except by my permission

I mean … I … can fly

like a bird in the sky..

Now, that is a lady.

I've missed you...oh so much.

By TeaandKittens

I am on a quest to rekindle my relationship with everything I've ever loved & that loved me in return...

the warm and fuzzy feeling lattes bring.
quiet moments surrounded by jazz and enlightening conversation.
smiles and laughs in conjunction, with loved ones-- only muted by the enjoyment of food.
being free in mind & spirit-- in traveling, doing "something," giving "something," and being "me."
drowning in passion....unrestricted by none, bold & respected by many, and beautiful in every way.

Faith

"...the natural man does not receive the things of the Spirit of God, for they are foolishness to him; nor can he know them, because they are spiritually discerned."

1 Corinthians 2:14-15

I'm thankful that time can heal all wounds and so, today is better than yesterday. Tears must be constant when there is something to purify and people/things must be shed in order to reveal a greater purpose...a better being.
