What is Black Beauty?

"What is Black Beauty?"


      " I asked myself what is Black Beauty? 
   when looking at myself in the mirror."
          How my nature curled kinky and  linky hair twists . 
  See how long and short my braided hair ends. 
       to the top of my forehead or to my shoulder length.
           What is Black Beauty?
           Is it the darkest brown color of my eyes? 
              What is Black Beauty?
       Is it in the almond, coffee , chocolate shade.
     or the  rich black coal colored of my skin .
             What is Black Beauty?
     It goes : to how wide and flat is my nose .
     For it beginnings at the curl pattern of my hair ,
     to the fullness of my lips .
          But wait a minute now! 
       It goes straight down to my hips and my sexy thighs.
          What is Black Beauty?
         "I proudly say : it's me !”

I talk to God

             "  I talk to God"
         
        Although he already knows: what I'm about to say.
       He humors me of course at all times.
            I talk to God,
     Knowingly know that free Will was given from the beginning of creation and time.
         I talk to God,
     For opening up; his loving and forgiving arms to me.
        I talk to God,
      And he has  and will always welcome my company.
      Even when I'm complaining.
        I talk to God,

Happy Earth Day

Happy Earth Day 

            Nature is always in her beauty from sunrise to sunset, 
          Look at the colors that are on display.
                             Happy Earth Day,
                The birds showing off their pretty wings and the ability to fly.
                           Happy Earth Day,
                Flowers are ready in bloom, as the trees stand straight and tall.
                        Happy Earth Day ,
                     See how the grass grows.
         Vast oceans are deep; the seas love how the tide touches the sand .
                          Happy Earth Day,
                    Where people and creatures call home.
                        Happy Earth Day,
                       Thanks to God,  for the gift of all life here on earth.

Apologies

"Apologies"



    Apologies don't fit here anymore,
    This is why? 
  You must remove oneself from my door.
 Apologies has become: 
your main game of life strategies.

I Wonder?

If I was that bird flying so high, 
      would fear still: be able take a hold of me.
      Dearing not to look down, at what's beneath of me ?
                  I wonder?
            If was that ant , 
 would I be brave enough to crawl outside of that hill?
   To an environment beyond bigger than my size .
                      I wonder ?
      If I was  a rooster, can and would I .
Be on point every morning to sing cock-a doodle- doo:
 with the beautiful of the sunrise?
                    I wonder?
             If I could be just as busy as a worker bee.
    showing off such resilience,
     without stopping for a break from pollinate.
                    I wonder?
               Maybe that slow like lazy sloth:
   has the answer of how life and nature should go.
 At a pace where no fear and everything  is seen and nothing  is  a miss.
