i want quiet mornings by the seaside
with a cup of coffee and a fishing rod
even though I don't know how to fish
I just want to have an excuse
to sit there peacefully and breathe
stare at the early morning sun
Allow my pupils to be flooded
with its rays and UVA
addicting, oh yes it is
the invisible red light and its glare
soothing, calming, comforting, healing
takes me to another level
of mitochondrial high
that I can't explain
that dimly mood curving to a smile
fluttering heart
electrons recharged
light being stored in the pigments of my skin
and I have never been more proud
of having this much melanin
carrying such amount of light in me
truly we are- Beings of light
and so I breathe in deeply
in appreciation and gratitude
for when the dusk starts to fall
I go back outside to greet
the rays of the glorious sunset
signaling each cells' timed responses
diving deeply into health
through the lenses
of a melanin filled mitochondriac.
