The Sky

By Venus

The sky is aglow with serenity

Witnessing the endless beauty that manages to change daily but never do those gorgeous red diminish in passion.

Someone you were in the past

The alarm rang at 8:25am, preparing me for the grueling day ahead in lockdown. I brushed my teeth and washed my face, attempting to awaken the lifeless complexion. I opened the laptop and allowed the screen to engulf me. 

As dawn arrived, happiness slowly indulged in me as I got a hold of my bead set. 

Something that you value in the present

August 31st 2006. The day, the woman that shapes me, builds me and loves me, gave birth to me. This woman guides me and continues to inspire me through her determination, strength and bravery. This woman shows me how to love, how to be one with my emotions and how to have boundaries. This woman also fights with me, she tests me and she yells at me. This woman makes me cry, makes me scream, this woman makes me crazy. So why do I love this woman? There is no answer. I just do. After all the yells, screams, and fire, there’s a warm light, a light begging for me to apologise, to feel sorry, to love. To love who? To love the woman at the light, to run into her arms and feel comfort. This woman is my Mum. My best friend. My blood. My home.
