She's a Dreamer

I wanna tell you a story about a little girl A beautiful sweet little girl who enjoys living in her own world of recluse hopscotching to the beat of her own drum She's a dreamer and boy let me tell you her imagination loves to run wild You may find her gazing at the stars envisioning the birth of an ORANGE MOON while love RAINS DOWN Once gray skies dissipate Heaven then opens up as the GOLDEN LIGHT OF THE SUN sticks to her skin like HONEY MOLASSES She imagines taking A LONG WALK to admire the beauty growing from the branches of an APPLE TREE reminding her that she too grew from her family roots to become BEAUTIFULLY HUMAN She is CROWN ROYAL BLESSED to have witnessed God line her journey with FOUR LEAF CLOVERS to impregnate her with luck in the form of strength It empowers her to move mountains and dismantle walls 20 FEET TALL Fearing no DANGER she marches ON AND ON like a SOLDIER pushing through rivers of obstacles GETTING IN THE WAY of her purpose The SPRING SUMMER FEELING leaves her SO IN LOVE as she quietly confides in the flowers by telling them "the ancestors are WATCHING ME" all while dancing to THE EARTH SONG wearing peace and blessings on her feet while basking in the manifestation of gratuity He mother nurtured her with food for thought refilling her with infinite wisdom She can hear her mother's gentle voice telling her "GON' BABY, DON'T BE LONG TIMES A WASTIN' and be sure to pack light TODAY so you don't hurt your back trying to reach your NEXT LIFETIME" The sticky sweetness of an EPIPHANY rest on her mind She levitates amongst the clouds to swing on a rainbow She don't want nobody next to her on this journey but the good Lord guiding her beyond the ROLLING HILLS and the valley low holding her hand until reaching her destination to the woman she aspires to be In her possession she has $3 and six dimes a bag full of scribes and a book filled with PENITENTIARY PHILOSOPHY written by Mumia Abu-Jamal I am proud of this beautiful sweet little girl who enjoys living in her own world of recluse hopscotching to the beat of her own drum She's a dreamer and boy let me tell you her imagination loves to run wild ©5-11-2020
