Beauty Is

Posted on February 20, 2013 by boomiebol

Beauty is
These two girls
A perfect half of me& you
Rushing into our hay at dawn’s call
Quietly brushing our lips as night falls

Beauty is
These two girls
A blend of my shy& your quiet
Putting on a show every Saturday noon
Tiny legs and hands flipping in strange directions

Beauty is
These two girls
Part me part you all God
Hugging me through time outs and more
Loving me even when I say enough

Beauty is
These two girls
A reflection of you& me

Nawarka nodded again in admiration and filliped his fingers. ( Arrow of God ) — just one of so many lovely sentences.

  I am so glad you are enjoying this. I want to send you another one…I am in the process of reading it myself. It’s by another author…but a really good read. “Say you are one of them”

    I thank you for sharing them. One thing, these stories have no lack of conflict as the giant change surrounding them all forces them to decide. Clara still haunts me, cursed and beyond forgiveness.

    I think you’d even look great with very little hair, with an afro cropped close to the head like mine! It seems you have the face for it.

    You know aunt Sandee, i have been bald many times and i must say i like it. I wear my hair in an Afro sometimes but on lazy days i straighten it lol
  - Sandee on February 21, 2013 at 6:55 pm said:
    
    Oh yeah, I think I recall you saying you’ve worn your hair this way — I’ll bet it’s really cute!
