It is said, "We must be careful what we wish for."

Or does the Almighty preside when we're lonely?

I believe in the visible and invisible.

It haunted me Sedated me Morning, noon and night It blurred my sight. Invisible to everyone I was bogged by steam and fog You could say I felt giddy I was somebody, hidden by Traumas barging in, and Muted by old school sayings Green stilled my mind Though smooth chocolate was I. The smell of salt and Sea The sight of pastels on canvas of sky Those fishermen casting nets, dawn and eve The sound of seagulls fishing The Caribbean Sea was near, yet foreign. I was lone virgin, when I called you forth as friend Together, we'd strum cords of life Surely, we would learn wrong from right. I would love the color blue again And savor perfume from wild flowers And sea breeze And share with you my past; Each limit of view I knew. Never again would I ingest loneliness My future I'd share with you, my friend I felt it in my bones. *
