I’d like to meet you again, for the first time…

I’d like to meet you again, for the first time…
📸 Bronwyn Janse
 

Meeting new people is an experience

A glorified experience at that, it’s the hopes

in your cheeks that make you smile uncontrollably

The pure experience of acceptance and genuine connection in the eyes of a stranger

You meet someone for some inexplicable reason

It’s unexpected but yet surprisingly delightful

 

Though some are for a season and some for a lifetime

Time runs out and the sun burns late

Why don't we talk about the pain of friendships breakups?

A bond that was once strong, being vulnerable and open up

How they become so dear then quickly turn into a stranger

 

Perhaps this person was only supposed to carry us through a season

Or sent for a higher purpose or lesson

They say the reason for people’s presence will become clear in due time.

But still it hurts when they go away, how can you un-know every memory and their existence?

But if incarnation would be true I’d would like to meet you again

Just one more time, live a thousand years of only good memories with you

A life condensed and liquefied as the stream waters of life

Each encounter embodied within love, peace and happiness.

    This was so evocative and made me think of the coming and going -- and staying -- of those in my life that made me feel this way. Thanks for sharing!

📸iamprosperk It’s a force to express out loud and unapologetically The moment of contentment with self Where you say what you feel and think Being comfortable talking bout’ the unthinkable, and the forbidden A canvas of powerful scenic images, constructs of silenced stories and opinions One art at a time building a generation of wild, confident young minds Small steps it may seem but through open-mindedness, stories are molded A map that shows a trail of being comfortable in your own skin A thousand words of discouragement crafted for good, through art Staying true to self, telling your story in your own words, in its rawest form Being heard. Being seen. Being experienced…………… “Having a Voice.” Creative. Unique. Raw. And Loud The lyrics that shouts from the mountain top the ills around us The pictures that capture our deepest darkest moments The canvas that paints nature to remind us how important it is The cocktail of words filled with encourag

We Are Only But Pawns In A Game Of Chase

📷 Apaha Spi Broken dreams, broken souls We are all a mess, a fallen generation We bleed, but nobody cares Somehow it is our fault We cry, nobody listens All they care about is more coin in their pockets We’re only but pawns In a game, we cannot fathom Our pain in their eyes is unnecessary drama, Our sorrow gives them an adrenaline rush, Our struggle is their entertainment They thrive from our sweat, blood and tears As it pours, so does coin drop in their pockets Every dime we earn they find ways to chuff it To them it is change, to us, it is means of survival Greedy grim reapers are what they are Always scheming of ways to suck the last coin out of us The pain inflicted by the people we traded for our hope and future It worsens by the day, but we continue to sing songs of hope It is not by choice, it is a survival instinct The thought of better days is what is keeping us sane, Nowhere to turn, refuge is the new slave To stay and
