Breathe...
As much as you can.
Take in oxygen and give out carbon dioxide...
Breathe.
Do that thing where you gently touch your chest and close your eyes as if you're envisioning your inter-coastal muscles contracting and relaxing.
Art.
Yes that's what you are.
No scratch that...
That is WHO you are.
You bring life to the most inanimate object,
Beauty to the ugly ones...
I mean your smile awakens the mortal world...
You are the resurrection!
You are art.
Listen ... hear that? *silence*
That's how the room reacts when you grace it with your presence.
The "goldenness" of that applauding silence elevates your beauty from 100 to 2000 linking it to the number of years ago that Christ was born... why?
Because the occupants of that room give thanks to God for you.
He wasn't joking when He said "I know the plans that I have for you... to give you a hope and a future"
See you were His plan for me,
Your personality the hope,
And your heart together with the "yes" you will murmur when I ask you to marry me will be the future.
So breathe...
Because that's my assurance that "for as long as I live" is not just a statement.
Breathe because that is you effortlessly thanking God for the life WE share together.
Breathe so that I can watch you...
Because carbon dioxide never looked so good exiting and oxygen never looked so great entering.

The Genesis of it all
The beginning of it all,
The sentence said by one in the midst of roaring laughter,
The fire that brewed the eternal light we gladly roamed in
All started at the pool table one Friday night.
The story emerged as a few nods were made and greetings murmured.
We gave each other silent smiles and occasional hidden winks
Then finally birthed a friendship by hitting a few balls on a table.
Each page we scripted was filled with love and autographed with memories.
Pictures taken by a beautiful S4 and photo credit goes to an amazing snowman we all built.
We were frozen with duties and the lack of freedom
But the fun and laughter we shared were all worth melting for.
Revelations made it's way to us.
It reminded us that the end was near.
Cappuccino cups and creamed waffles with a dash of red bull with black wings stained the pages in resistance.
But the end still crept in.
We had the last supper at 1 p.m
Said our prayers and parted ways.
Even though the characters are physically apart,
This is the genesis of an eternal fire that burns beautifully in each of us
