"For I know the plans I have for you," declares the Lord, "plans to prosper and not to harm you, to give you a future and a hope." Jeremiah 29:11<br /> <br /> "And see, that’s how you end up headed to destruction/Pavin’ a road to nowhere/Pour your life out for nothin"- The Background by Lecrae


only here, is she alive

as she stands out in the grass

  dew

       like drops of moonbeam

                                               kisses her feet

living and breathing

sun’s 

       final rays

touch head

                       light of a thousand diamonds

she

             reaches up

                                         and light

balances on the tips of fingernails

           as she holds her hand stock-still

it waits

                           it is patient

          it slides down her forearm

               grazing shirt sleeve

                    as she stands, smiling

                        a dozen times yes

it leaps and dances through the trees

                                          so it can cover her

           and she is bathed in sun

If you have never stood outside in a sunset, you have really missed out.
