There has and always will be  a constant love triangle between  the sun, the moon and me.  -anna sluder

I want love to radiate from the earth of this country,  From the earth of this world, I want it to radiate so much that it shakes us a little No, I want it to wildly quake our spirits I want it to shake down the walls and the borders  So that they crumble into dusty atoms I want it to shake down ignorance and racism, sexism  So much that the size of breasts and the color of skin will no longer determine our future  I want love to shake down human trafficking, murder and genocide, slavery  So much that evil will cower and whimper away in the shadow of love  I want love to strip the world to its bones  And make the marrow inside of them rattle too So much that we never again will forge evil with our souls  Because love will have knocked us off our feet with its challenge to love  For love is patient and love is kind But love is also a fierce bitch, and exactly what we need To pry our blind eyes open and show ...

There was a reason for everything she believed Like every color in a sunset was meant to be  And for whatever it is that you have grieved She would say "there is beauty that blooms from every tragedy"  -anna sluder

It was strange for the girl with the greenest eyes despised money.  -anna sluder

While they tell me I'm too loud too wild too weird I will be here, dancing to the music in my quirky head  While they sit on the sidelines  Wondering about the carefree life they could've lead.  -anna sluder
