Sixth sense


I got my ocean eyes from my mother. “love the night, for you may not always be standing in the light” I lost sight of my father. He would say that if you cant see it, don't bother.” “love cannot be seen, not everything is black and white. if anything at all, believe in yellow light and red kites." My sister gave me strength and faith, to believe and put up a fight. My mothers mother told me to never become chained. I am the light in the darkest of rooms, the most graceful flowers take seasons to bloom. Your faces are painted on the inside of my eyelids, my anchors forever framed. "Fall in love, or never truly live" Free vanilla skies are a gift only the clouds can give. Thank you for my sixth sense.
