Soul Twin Poem

Seeing Beauty In Our Differences

30
Soul Twin Poem
Lori Field

Walking through the forest of the ethereal

The unimaginable.

Galaxies of flowers

Super-duper silky elongated petals

Should we open the door now?

Let the heaven gates unveil

Mystical Narnia

Fairy-like blue butterfly

Giving us in the stadium spotlight.


Can’t you see?

We fallen baby girl, but now we shall rise.

Raise that head.

No.

Higher.

No, a little bit more.

Higher!!


You been wandering in the darkest, coldest valleys.

Through our beloved, dazing eyes

We look to the heavens where we gained our never-ending strength.

Rosy red cheeks never bothered me,

It’s a mark of my tribulations

The beauty that arose

From agonizing slavery.


From Mother Earth dirt, we planted ourselves.

From micro seeds to jumbo flowers

My vibrant soul of elegance.

My dark melanin astonishes while breaking insecurities

I’m flaunting it.


Looking and tilting down to get your attention

Eyes penetrating, needle-like to your simple soul

Teal along with golden emblems of my royal hood attire.

Two peachy pink pom poms

Hefty florals on my head.

My crowns of worth nature beauty,

Its rarity in form, its empowered strut

Stare in me and see the art at me.

Get some soul in you!


Take a look at my sister

A great pulchritude.

Her white skin as bright as angel’s wings


Hello, here I am!

Poising my soft, hard-working delicate hands near my heart

Feeling the rhythmic, pulsating energy radiating through these lushful flowers.

Wearing this purplish jellyfish jello-like bonnet,

Honey, use your imagination.


Plethora of flowers united wrapping like a scarf around me

Rather than giving me warmth, it keeps me confident.

Venom words thrown in my face

But haters will hate

I’ll lift up my chin

Majestic, silky orangey fabric.

We are diamonds in the rough

Cloud-like, long sleeve underdress

Softly, puffy white cheeks,

With a splash of rosal pink and a dash of blue.

Kissable pouting lips but

UH-UH!

Can’t touch.


My soul sister and I.

Racially different.

Dark pigmentation?

White Pigmentation?

Blue? Freckled? Scarred?

WHO CARES!

Color don’t matter in this floral heavenly body

Individually carved like a Greek sculpture

Ultimately designed from the Mighty High

United empowerment.

Honey, get yourselves an

“US”

and together we will conquer.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

These powerful lyrics remind us how much good is inside each of us and that sometimes we are too blinded by our imperfections to see the other side of the coin, to see all of that good.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

The song was sent to me late in the middle of the night. I was still awake enough to plug in my headphones and listen to it immediately. I always did this when my best friend sent me songs, never wasting a moment. She had sent a message with this one too, telling me it reminded her so much of both of us and what we have each been through in the past couple of months.

What's your sign? It's one of the first questions some of us are asked when approached by someone in a bar, at a party or even when having lunch with some of our friends. Astrology, for centuries, has been one of the largest phenomenons out there. There's a reason why many magazines and newspapers have a horoscope page, and there's also a reason why almost every bookstore or library has a section dedicated completely to astrology. Many of us could just be curious about why some of us act differently than others and whom we will get along with best, and others may just want to see if their sign does, in fact, match their personality.

Being a good person does not depend on your religion or status in life, your race or skin color, political views or culture. It depends on how good you treat others.

We are all born to do something great. Whether that be to grow up and become a doctor and save the lives of thousands of people, run a marathon, win the Noble Peace Prize, or be the greatest mother or father for your own future children one day. Regardless, we are all born with a purpose. But in between birth and death lies a path that life paves for us; a path that we must fill with something that gives our lives meaning.
