The Essence of Me

Unpainted toes, earth-tones, and rainbows
a momma’s stare, her coiled hair blows
in the wind…Progression in its most humble form…
She’s weathered the storm.
Emerging to witness her own essence
to some it doesn’t make sense
that she can see through rose colored glasses accompanied by incense.
And now that the smoke has cleared,
moments of peace, love, and laughter have appeared.
She prays, and close she stays, sustained and understands
sweet mists of grace followed by inspiration from above
She carries a heart filled with a “Big Love”
and a tall order to heal and grow…sometimes its slow
but the lessons from being “Open” during her return,
have been learned.
Creating enterprise in “good” faith…as it should be
While present in this blessed moment of her journey
This is the essence of Me(amya).

The Unconscious Disadvantage

The unconscious mind says, it is what it is according to the universe
So what?...But for love and life, what could be worse?

How long can we continue to turn our cheeks as if everything is ok?
is our reality simply what we make it today?

Is disadvantaged unconscious awareness really worth short term satisfaction?
or is our reaction?

We must believe we can find solutions and proceed rationally
or else, it will be just another missed opportunity.

The truth lies within you and me
to give hope to future humanity.

And I say, so what if you hear about a green economy,
everywhere but your community!

Because it all starts with opening your mind,
and making a conscious choice not to be blind.

I'm doing my part,
and that's a start...

So what about you?
What are you going to do?

Never Lose Yourself
by Kimberly Lanell Edge

Never let them drift away in a whirl of wind

The dreams and goals, aspirations, you

Through my eyes, talent left to rot is a sin

Determine we must our lives, a clue

There are many talent-filled, but shiftless

Knowledge abounds, the potential, but trapped, forsaken

Obstacles, low self esteem, the plagues, one

Not I, I declare, not a piece but the pie I have taken

Your foundation, your chance that foot in the door, you must create

When an opportunity knocks, rend the door from its hinges

Never lose the faith that carries you, never wait

Perhaps I am extreme, one of the few, one of the fringes

Let us hasten together through the narrow opening, I transmit

Let us, not just I, remember the rest, fulfill the ultimate

I am only sure of one truth, my destiny

And as I rise, you shall rise with me.
