Blue,White and Red ♥

~ I have been contmeplating lately about visiting France. I have always wanted to visit the place where my ancestors came from. France is such a beautiful and exotic place to me! It has some of the most prestine beaches in Europe, as well as the highest mountains with lovely scenery, some of the finest historic monuments, the most beautiful cities, the most idyllic countryside, the most breathtaking castles and architectural marvels, and some of the finest food and distinct cultural heritage...not to mention France is one of the world’s great destinations for lovers and let's face it, who doesn't want to visit Paris! Paris, the city of light and love, is without a doubt one of the most beautiful cities on the planet! This glorious European country is a timeless land whose people have a natural joie de vivre and savoir- faire. I could go on and on about this dream-come-to-life-place~ It's all beautiful in every aspect in my eyes. I think I am very lucky to have ancestor bloodlines and roots stemming from this divine part of the world. It's kind of funny to me, every time I see the Red,White and Blue of the American flag I always think of the Blue,White and Red colors of the French flag. A visit to France is definitely on my list of things to do! ♥

.::Here I Am::. written by me

Unraveling myself, where shall I begin

Tangled within, again from the end

gently unwind the knots along my soul

I now feel my pieces becoming whole

Here I am

Eyes not set ahead, no hands reaching behind

Not giving without, no trail left behind

I am new

Unfolded throughout, lifted above

 Hatred forgotten, knowledge of love

forgive and accept, left and let go

Open a new chapter, I've paid what I owe

 I am free

Slate wiped clean, canvas cleared

Courage consumes me, digest what is feared

Back on my feet, head towards the sky

warmth returns to heart chambers

fire returns to my eyes

 I am eternal

Chance for beginning, lay to rest empathy

Lost the force of the crowd, no one here but me

Hand in hand with the unknowing

Embracing its complex simplicity

Here I am

.::Become::. written by me

Falling on me like the the moon at midnight sea

crashing down around me like the sun's reverie

pulling me from inside petal by petal in full bloom

my stem is pulled from my faulty roots

My hands held open hold many empty things

tightly tangled and tattered, ragged of my friction

fingers run along hearts maps and dream destinations

I feel the pulse of many apprehensive beats

Cohesion of thoughts blend behind my eyes

a mused embrace erupting under ardent will

images reflect a default world

visions seem to mimic the real

heart layered with familiar refuge

peeking through the cracks of a yearning sou

ldecadent horizons await a fervent arrival

boundaries left broken and bare

I stand against the sky and take in what I will

take from me only breath and memory to prevail

a canvas  awaiting vast refinement

a portrait flowing a virtuous spill
