Light is taking a step into the unknown, obedience, as you follow your destiny and as your shoes of peace  lead you closer to where you’re meant to be. Light is forgetting about the stage or achieving monetary gain;  when the pureness of your heart flows through your ink onto the page. When you celebrate your own words with pure intention;  creating an intimate conversation between you and yo...

Everything I’ve ever been grateful for My houseMy plantsMy bed that mum and dad builtDismantling the bed and moving it into the lounge where there’s a pretty view at the window seatThe furniture that I never paid for The furniture that I had to buy The furniture I gave away for another first home to beginThe way I hold my head high when others tear it down feetwardThe way I can be still and for...

This moment, I take a deep breath to reminisce on the journey long coming.What can I say.I jam my hands together, looking up to the skiesThanking God for good health and the food right in front of me.Once upon a time, it was a struggle to feed.God is the Greatest. Since I devoted myself to the service of humanity, I lack nothing. My needs are met like manners from heaven I feel so blessed that ...

My original music with a self-directed music video! 

Oh god I never knew That the pain of losing you Would leave me so alone So afraid, the world becoming A darker shade. I always wanted To find a way to make you see That I was worth loving Making my way, my way The only day I ever saw That my way wasn’t it, at all Was when you found me deep inside The mask I used to hide behind. 

An Ode To Twenty Years of Friendship by Olivia ThomakosSeneca Avenue summer was meeting at the stop sign halfway between our houses to chase the ice cream man a quarter mile to South School. Your ankle clicked like the window latch we broke jumping from the second story at midnight to meet basement boys playing video games.Autumn homecoming dresses filled albums of photos flower-surrounded in ...

Sunrise.I open my eyes.I hear the seagulls cry.I am alive.I have been granted another day on earth, while many have died during the night.Do I thrive or merely survive?Do I fill my day with happy thoughts or worries that most times come to nought and make my brow furrow?SunriseI see the sky and the clouds that float past my window.Be grateful for sunrise. One day there will be no tomorrow.Copy...

I am grateful to my mother for teaching me magic. She showed me how to pluck the hidden meanings in the words people spoke.The chants they tried to weave, the blessings to search for, the curses that threatened to choke. She traced the hillside of my nose and made me trace hers, too.“We share the same valleys and mounds,” she said. “It is a privilege for others to view.”She taught me the rollin...
