The Poetic Word

Be Yourself

BY GLORIA O’KOYEE

Every existence is like fingerprints,

Snowflakes,

Designs on leaves that have ever existed.

Even similar to the finest of details

Doesn’t equate to the exact same

Thoughts and feelings.

 

Every breath, step, laughter and tears

Shine bright in different characteristics.

Like the stars in the sky

Telling different stories.

No journey is identical,

Even if surface antics

Tricks the eyes into believing

Man made theories.

 

How rewarding it would be

To have faith that can move the universe

Without the power of technology.

Where divine intervention can be gentle

Reminders of our mission and purpose

For this lifetime and next.

 

Like how we continued our lives

Walking in the beauty of uniqueness

And strength.

Spiritual footprints

Will continue to tell your legacy

Long after you leave this current

 

Hollow shell.

Be yourself!

You are enough!!
