Reflection Internal

The Journey   

By Rebekah A. Frimpong

We grasps stars filling our fists with beams of light

our dreams reached beyond borders

we met in tears and blood and sweat

liquid for life vital knowledge shared in conversation

our hearts were free and open

walking in each other shoes 

the path was narrow that we traveled together

holding hands we saw the sun reflecting off lakes and oceans

we had arrived; destination peace

Love in the City

I usually don't write love poems, because I cannot define what love is in just one word or two words, and so on.  Love is so different for everyone that is can be anything.  I can love my friend, my community, or my mother.  Love can be shared between two individuals in an intimate way.  But the most important love is self love; loving one's self enough to care, respect, and learn from other individuals.  The love of thy self is ultimately the key to loving others unconditionally.

Day One (excerpt)

By Rebekah Frimpong

This was Day One: The Awakening

My mirror's reflection was empty as I stood before it

All of me gone..taken by a god-like creature claiming to be peace

Yet starting a war in my belly that brought forth loneliness

Making me a victim to a lost cause; Love
