As I look at my vanity box,

and see the hues of pink and white

the delicate makeup


something in me feels happy

feels fulfilled,

It doesnt have to come in pink and white

it could be green and blue

or flaming red

it is to see beauty

and smile at it

It is to hold the whole world inside of you

close to your  being

Gently

from breaking apart

It is to comfort the sad

be gentle with the young

and give happiness to the sick


Sure it is flowers blooming

but it is also the graying leaves

of autumn

because she can find beauty

even in the melancholy

feel the sweetness

even in Pain

It is a gift from God himself

this feminine touch

As I look at my vanity box

I see hues of pink and white

I feel something happy inside

And then as I look at the mirror

I see hues of courage and strength

I still feel something happy inside




**Something I penned to capture my lethargic mood**



I am Lost in the speed of Life

Cant find myself

Vaguely aware of some goals

That will come and go

on it's own

Accomplishing things

Yet Sleeping through it all

Not Awake inside

or Outside

Fulfillment, meaning

Love

All lost, in the foggy chaos

of a sleepy soul

until, that inner fighter

lights up a candle

and I jerk up awake

Eyes watery

Awake now

But tired

Trying to add wood

to the small flame

waiting for it to turn

into the fire

that will fuel

the warrior

the meaningful chaos.
