Moving On

As reflection occurs during an unknown time in life 

The question for me was I living life through myself or through another  

Was I smelling the flowers of my life or was I admiring the flowers blooming in the garden of others  

I began to gather the essentials to grow my garden of enjoyment  

The planting of seeds was step one 

It was truly time to begin the process of growing my own garden of life  

Step two get sun for photosynthesis to feed my life plants  

A Chance Ending

I saw her by chance on the fifth day of the week  

I was cautious in my approach 
Her look of surprise was warming  

An exchange of pleasantries ensued  

I asked how did your summer go  

I went out lived and loved through my own eyes she said  

I didn't live through social media, inside an apartment, or through someone else  

I immersed myself in my own life  

She kissed my cheek and whispered  

Time for you to do the same  

Summer Blues

     

As the summer drew to a close
I wondered if I'd see her again
This was more than missing her touch, voice or just the smell of her hair
I couldn't describe what it was I tried to put my finger on it
My mind was in an unfamiliar place
She was becoming more of a distant memory
It seemed like the sunset of our experience was starting
I wiped away the tears to enjoy the beauty of our sunset

Bar Moments

As I took a seat in a place to get away  

I ordered the usual spirit for my mind 

I sipped and felt a tap on the shoulder 

As I turned I already felt who it was 

She smiled and we exchanged pleasantries  

After a workout of mindful conversation  

Another round of spirits followed  

Conversation put me in a zone 

As I yearned for more she kissed my forehead  

Her lovely curves moved toward the door  

She turned around and smiled  

I knew that meant to keep going on my path 

I am getting closer to where I need to be

Return to Paradise

             

As I gathered myself mentally 

I strolled on the path meant for me  

A true spiritual awakening was happening  

Our physical paths crossed for the first time in a long time  

She said you feel better now 

I know you weren't yourself lately  

We laughed she because she knew without even speaking to me  

She said you never explained paradise  

I answered paradise was not seeing you physically but connecting mentally  

She closed her eyes and said yes that's the place I've been in lately 

She said you taught me to Trust my dopeness which helped me fly to new heights  

We hugged it was spiritual recharge for us both  

As she walked away she said welcome back to paradise I knew you'd be back
