In beauty I walk
With beauty before me I walk
With beauty behind me I walk
With beauty above me I walk
With beauty around me I walk
It has become beauty again

Hózhóogo naasháa doo. Shitsijí’ hózhóogo naasháa doo. Shikéédéé hózhóogo naasháa doo.Shideigi hózhóogo naasháa doo.
T’áá altso shinaagóó hózhóogo naasháa doo. Hózhó náhásdlíí’.
Hózhó náhásdlíí’. Hózhó náhásdlíí’. Hózhó náhásdlíí’

Today I will walk out, today everything negative will leave me
I will be as I was before, I will have a cool breeze over my body.
I will have a light body, I will be happy forever, nothing will hinder me.
I walk with beauty before me.
I walk with beauty behind me.
I walk with beauty below me.
I walk with beauty above me.
I walk with beauty around me.
My words will be beautiful.
In beauty all day long may I walk.
Through the returning seasons, may I walk.
On the trail marked with pollen may I walk.
With dew about my feet, may I walk.
With beauty before me may I walk.
With beauty behind me may I walk.
With beauty below me may I walk.
With beauty above me may I walk.
With beauty all around me may I walk.
In old age wandering on a trail of beauty, lively, may I walk.
In old age wandering on a trail of beauty, living again, may I walk.
My words will be beautiful…

An improv poem,
inspired by your post 😄
on beauty
I don't edit these. I usually type and run lol never look back.




Unfortunately
you are so beautiful
I can never get tired of you
Your beauty rises every day
it unfolds further in every moment
taking me away
Touched deeply by the most spectacular,
gentle,
quiet,
kindness

Today I was in the city
coughing, smog
blinded, by noise
made hard, as concrete

I try to look away, but see only art with oversaturated colors
I try to listen to music, to save my ears
I try to take a breath, but instantly close the window

You are woven into
the fabric of my senses
always with me
always with me

I came back to the magical forest
To the oceans melodies
I came back to your majestic open skies
and perfumes of the tropical evening wind
I came back to your colors,
and your silence
where my senses can unravel

It is alarming
seeing you hurt
It is tragic
seeing you desecrated
It's scary
to loose you, my home

I love you
You have spirited me away
You spoke into me a grace
You keep taking me away
luring me
singing me
enchanting me
into you
always have

You make me kind
You teach me how to listen
My feet learn where to step
and my hands how to touch

I love listening to you
I love breathing you in
I love climbing through your mysteries
I love your intensity
I love
love
love
you

woven into my soul
you are always inside me
with me
I am afraid sometimes
of falling in love with you
what if I loose you?
what if you are ripped out of me
what if you are raped and brutalized and transformed into lifeless dust
I will run from the pain,
as it's lightning strikes
through me

I am afraid to love you
I don't have the courage
I am not ready
never was
never will be

take me away...
