EBONY

by @Melanin_Princess

Ebony, Ebony is her name. Quite the character indeed She moves with such elegance Skin so soft and golden I stand by as I watch her take a bath underneath the beaming sun and absorb every single ray. Afterwards, she grabs a clean towel and dries off her glistening bronzed skin. Honey drips down. 10,000 bumble bees follow as she makes her way down the ocean. She buries her feet into the white sand and, leaves her imprint. Her hair stands erect, as though it had been crafted to defy all odds of gravity. Gradually, it blooms and I can't believe what my eyes are seeing. When she sings, it sounds like 10,000 angels. Voice as calming as gentle breeze. A tranquil melody. With every word she pours out, echoes the beautiful sound of brilliance. She's no ordinary one. Every single bone and flesh was carefully assembled and knitted by the Messiah himself. To her, he gifted an Enchanted soul which would be like nothing anyone has seen. If only everyone had the privilege to see what I just saw, they wouldn't hate her this much. She has been tied in chains, stripped down and wounded. But why would anyone despise a soul so magical? Was it out of jealousy? It might've also been out of pure ignorance. But after this day, I'll be damned to express such ignorance. Now I know for a fact that her level of carefreeness was built on the foundation of struggle. I think I might've come across a real life goddess. Ebony, Ebony is her name.
