Life

The sun sets and rises all over the world
African mornings
Are gold

The waves roll along the shores
The moon’s pull on them is constant

There are new beginnings as well as tragic endings 
The gentle lull of the boat is ever so soothing, and set sail far from the westward 
coast
My journey to the warm radiant sun is just beginning

Insignificant specks 
We
Are something
And yet at the same time nothing
I marvel in it
The outward reach of possibilities.
The universe does not unfold her mysteries 


Passion and Disgust
Hideously coexist
And yet this
Is a constant reminder
That life is beautiful.
Alone for the very first time, but still surrounded.
There is love and hate
Love yourself
Revel in your beauty, and loving life itself.
Revel in your life, because you’ve just got one chance to do it.
Revel in hope, because your lost without it.
Revel in finding yourself, and your life will never really finish.
