Poem: Sun Rise

My Beloved, have you ever watched the sun rise?

That lights up the land—the sky

Have you ever risen before the dawn, of the light?

And see the beauty in your own life,

Where peace stood still and brought;

On a great smile:

Have you ever, breathe in the fresh ocean?

That wash away residue of nature waste,

Ruins, and mankind footprints in the sand

There greatness lies

Have you ever my dearest watched the sunrise?

Not behind close door, through a shade

And see the magnificent sky,

Where love no longer seem small; love enlarge,

You and I life.

About the author

empressjournee

I am a graduate of Medgar Evers College (M.E.C.); mother of three, grandmother and great grand. I love to read great books and listen to podcasts that uplift my consciousness; sharing historical view of the different shades of color, the various culture, the way we all are connected, the musical genius throughout the world and the works that are done to help us tap into ourselves and know that we are worthy. I also love to write poetry and sing. There was a moment that now phase in another aspiration of my life, I felt singing was a forum—a path to take, that helps to voice, express my thoughts, in time where I was struggling, battling something I did not understand and what I was going through; feeling unsupportive. Although, there was some support, especially from my love ones, the challenges I faced was mostly internal.
I am so grateful for the grace I have been given to be able to write my poetic thoughts, that is my freedom. I was a part of a journey that taught me lessons and motivate me that preparation is a must to face a world that may not be ready for a new rising star. Thank you for taking the time to read my poetry. I especially wanted to give honor to my mother who is no longer in the physical, as well as my natural father for the knowledge of health before he departed from this planet. Also, I would like to thank you my supporter for being on this journey with me even at times when the journey seems unclear. May we appreciate the blessings that has been given to us, as we continue to soar, as we reach a place of true jubilee.
