The Dogwoods are in their element and yet I know this is the last of them. They will be waving goodbye soon until we meet again. Again.

She sighs...

A flower. There must always be a flower to color my world. This flower is dedicated to #WednesdayYellow #ColorChallenge with @Kalemandra.

And just like that, this walk is over. But, never forgotten. The beauty of my day is colored in happiness and a tad of sunshine. I trust you all got out for a spin around the block to move it around, if only for a moment or three. I want to thank @Tattoodjay for hosting the #WednesdayWalk and you can find his post on how you can join here!

I always post this poem down at the bottom of my posts. It is one that has become so near and dear to my heart. I only post the most famous part of it, but, wanted to post it in its entirety today.

they set my aunts house on fire
i cried the way women on tv do
folding at the middle
like a five pound note.
i called the boy who use to love me
tried to ‘okay’ my voice
i said hello
he said warsan, what’s wrong, what’s happened?

i’ve been praying,
and these are what my prayers look like;
dear god
i come from two countries
one is thirsty
the other is on fire
both need water.

later that night
i held an atlas in my lap
ran my fingers across the whole world
and whispered,
"where does it hurt?"
it answered,

"everywhere"
"everywhere"
"everywhere"
