Today I cried.
This time not for sadness but gladness that filled my heart walking through the library doors looking at what I did not know. Approaching near, not much of anywhere else to go, I ask a fellow what is this we see, she replied, “some poets, I think”, oh, I see... I walk further and sit on chair with the stare to this beauty dressed in deep fuscia. Her hair short, her words cut deep. My heart pinned me to my seat and no longer the world was bore. I listened deep because her words pierced my soul. Such dedication melting from her whole. I held my tears in to the vision I saw, oh this beautiful woman not afraid but determined to perform the talent God has bestowed upon her. I could sit there forever and listen to her heart scream out its thoughts and feelings, but soon it came to an end. I arose to applaud all that she knew not what she had done to my heart. Hold the tears in, I signed her mailing list and before leaving, gave her a hug from within. Thanking her for her existence and God’s perfect plan, to make me finish the test I had, at this campus which was never in my plan. A brief synopsis of my ambitions and achievements, not able to buy a cd, I said goodbye. Her father replied, and my attention she took, he bought me a cd in which I took, into my hands held close to not part, her signature to me a message from her heart. “Start Something” is the name and as I walked away the tears were not refrained, pouring down my face my heart smiling, feeling the confirmation of what God has planned for my life.
Today I cried. For many reasons, but right now it is because I know that this feeling is the “Start” of “Something” right.
