Mystic blue is the color of the night sky
And the smell of rain.
It is the color deep within
Behind the eyes and flowing winds.
It is the color of unwhispered words
Of the way I feel about all things.
It is the color of the blue in a fires flame.
The sound that the wolves make
when the pack has united.
It is the way the cool wind comes from
The forest where the trees stand in welcome.
It is the way a heart is felt
When a hug has met its warm embrace.
It is the color of a tear drop
And the depths that draw beyond a laughter.
It is the way I feel, mystic blue,
When freedom has taken wing
And allowed me those graces
I am home again.

Hey everyone I had a great vacation, although some of my family still can’t understand why I became muslim. My Aunt is still hoping “I will come back to Jesus.” Well, today I wanted to remember a music legend. Tupac Shakur, it is the 10th anniversary since his death in 1996. Although Tupac did not always lead such a great lifestyle, he will always be greatly remembered in my heart. He saw beauty, pain, and introduced the world to a whole side of life that most people never knew existed. Towards the end of his life I truly hope, and believe he found “Allah” in his own right. Through his death, Tupac exposed the hatred that the black community has put upon itself. In Tupac’s song “Changes”, he wrote” We need to look at our selves as brothers, instead of two distant strangers.” ” The only time we heal is when we kill each other.” His words always brought wisdom to me. Let us not judge him, but learn from his life. From his songs, poetry,and legacy Tupac will always be remembered as a true “Hip Hop Legend.” There will never be any rapper before, or after like him. Tupac has touched people, in a way he could have never imagined.
