She Smiles At the Sun


She smiles at the sun

Taking in its rays with joy

She rejoices in its light

Dances in its presence 

And admires its everlasting beauty 

And the way it shines over her golden skin.

Skin that was toasted to perfection

Dipped in chocolate the same color as the soil beneath her feet.

The same soil that gave birth to life itself.

Here she is the foundation.

Carrying the world on her back.

She strength

She is wonder

She beauty and everything more. 

Hips sway the melody of life.

Eyes gently look on.

As she ponders revels in the thought,

of the storm that is to come.
