Down With Gravity

Hikers pause for coffee with a view of plunging Grand Falls.

Labrador, Canada

Melanin from the South Asia: India, Bangladesh, Nepal, Sri Lanka, etc. 

Many people from those countries are underappreciated for their skin and beauty. Sometimes it’s our own people think the lighter skin is more glamorous than the darker/brown skin and because of that many people (especially young girls and women) feel insecure of their skin, including me. I just want to point out that having a dark or brown skin is not a flaw but, a blessing and those who have dark/ brown skin should embrace it. 

“The Eternal dance through morning light, Sunset years, And final nights. Two flowers spinning, Their golden waves singing. A silver sky clinging onto hopeful beginnings. Memories bring back the Red River visions, Each season changing with our young decisions. To bloom and to break, Too soon to try fate, With patterned time we choose to wait.

Let’s make a landing with shallow breathing, Still daydream but forget the meaning. We’ll cut the sand with broken hands, Colors bleeding, Sounds repeating, Never leaving. Always swimming in nectarine, Sunlit pools of reflecting scenes. These are the lucky days, looking for heavy healing. We’re forever the real thing, Sinking deeper into the summer feeling.”
