High tide

The tides may have changed

However, my feelings are the ocean

My love... the moon.

Song: Here Comes The Bride
Written & Performed by: Maryam "Alexandria." Zee
Beats by Genysis

Tell me why lately all we do is fight? If my intentions were clear and what i'd tried to do was right. You might as well look in me in my eyes and tell me my love was a lie. And if its here tonight --Well its wrapped in white. I paid the price. Its me or your prize. Here comes the bride. All dressed in a lie. I think its time to let you go, I think its time I let you go. I think its time to let you know, I think its time I let you know. I think its best if you go, I think its best if you'd go.
I think its time to let you go.
I think its time I let you go. I think its best if you leave. While I fought to make it right. You up and just would leave. Go ahead and roll your trees. You'll be back boy please next week. But we done for it and you sowed it. You love me boy and you know it. Sad that you cant show it. So I vow to give you good moments.  I'll teach you about romance. Sip slow this heres a slow dance. You drunk now off that champagne, and that purple, and that yurple.  His world moves and hers does too. In that same room where the bride glooms. Quick spin as the party grooves cause they're coming back to earth soon.
Here comes your bride.

"I did not begin when I was born, nor when I was conceived. I have been growing, developing, through incalculable myriads of millenniums. All my previous selves have their voices, echoes, promptings in me. Oh, incalculable times again shall I be born." —Jack London, The Star Rover

I was here ...

"I Was Here"

Written by: Diane Warren

Performed by: Beyonce Knowles

I wanna leave my footprints on the sands of time
Know there was something that, meant something that I left behind
When I leave this world, I'll leave no regrets
Leave something to remember, so they won't forget

I was here
I lived, I loved
I was here
I did, I've done everything that I wanted
And it was more than I thought it would be
I will leave my mark so everyone will know
I was here

On the road to healthier skin.

"Your skin tells your life story"

TIPS FOR HEALTHY, GLOWING SKIN:

-All the beauty products in the world  cannot make your skin glow if you are: Stressed, eating junk food, sleep-deprived and sedentary. First of all. 

-Second of all,  hydrate, hydrate, hydrate! Your body craves water, which removes toxins, hydrates your cells and gets rid of impurities.

-Third of all, start within ! Eat a variety of fruits and vegetables. Salmon and foods rich in omega 3’s make a positive impact. When it concerns your skin, you are what you eat. Note: Sugar is inflammatory.

-Keep your skin clean and moisturize dry skin; dermatologists recommend moisturizing dry skin twice a day and overnight.

- Green tea is anti-inflammatory and in the lab has been shown to heal skin.

-Exercise to shed stress hormones and improve circulation.

-Get your beauty sleep; skin regenerates and hormones balance.

- Make sure you're washing your pillowcase often, so you're not putting your face in the same oils every night.

-Aim for good health. When you are healthy, you look more youthful and act that way. Illness weighs you down and saps your energy.

-Smile.

-Don’t force your beauty. Enhance it. Avoid harsh chemicals and treatments. Avoid drastic changes and a lot of makeup. Simplify with a more natural approach. Express who you are — not some artificial ideal. Don’t mask the real you. Living the truth of who you are is gorgeous!

-Find a facial cleanser that matches your skin type. 

-Exfoliate. Your face doesn't need anything harsh or to be exfoliated too often -- it just strips the skin of moisture and will leave you red and flaky.

**"Before you reach for the bounty of cleansers, moisturizers, and toners in your bathroom, add the following seven foods to your diet to clear the way for a beautiful complexion." - Sue Moores, RD, spokeswoman for the American Dietetic Association. According to Moores, glowing skin starts at the supermarket.

A Girl - Poem by Ezra Pound

A Girl by Ezra Pound

The tree has entered my hands,
The sap has ascended my arms,
The tree has grown in my breast-
Downward,
The branches grow out of me, like arms.

Tree you are,
Moss you are,
You are violets with wind above them.
A child - so high - you are,
And all this is folly to the world.

The Road Not Taken -Robert Frost

Two roads diverged in a yellow wood,
And sorry I could not travel both
And be one traveler, long I stood
And looked down one as far as I could
To where it bent in the undergrowth;
Then took the other, as just as fair,
And having perhaps the better claim,
Because it was grassy and wanted wear;
Though as for that the passing there
Had worn them really about the same,
And both that morning equally lay
In leaves no step had trodden black.
Oh, I kept the first for another day!
Yet knowing how way leads on to way,
I doubted if I should ever come back.
I shall be telling this with a sigh
Somewhere ages and ages hence:
Two roads diverged in a wood, and I-
I took the one less traveled by,
And that has made all the difference.
