Her picture shouts louder than ranting crowds marching against the deprivation of freedom, with heads and fists up high they declare their liberty draws nigh That's why I won't let it speak for itself but I'll try my best to describe it myself Her pose and posture resemble a throne A queen in her Majesty will not be overthrown Her shoulders fortified pillars of gold able to carry waterfalls of teardrops like a drowning woman carrying what breath she has - a shoulder to cry on The sun's radiance falls shy to the incredible shine that is her face Many who are in darkness meet her face and forget entirely what darkness even looks like, you can feel the warmth of it even with the coldest of hearts For cold hearts melt like candle wax at the warmth of her façade Her chin-up utters the boldness of a roaring lion in its territory - A king with absolute dominance and rule From her chin looking up is her highly noticeable lips Red as fiery rubies, season ripe raspberries As if rose petals, most red fell on her lips and were merged with them When her lips part, they let way to a mighty outpouring of words like poetry Declarations of glory worth awe Incense valued and collected by cherubim Graciously put together by her anointed tongue Empowered by her billion angels choir of vocal cords I paused for what seemed centuries attempting to ponder words and phrases that would accurately describe her eyes Piercing diamonds, refined and washed in the sight of a Holy God They carry vision in them, a multigenerational dream - looking forward with purpose on purpose Like stars hanging ever so majestic in the dark night, her eyes hang on her African skin Her eyes could easily become pathways to a promise: "No eye has seen, no ear has heard" She wears her rich dark hair like a crown for her obedience, "Well done, oh good and faithful servant" Don't be deceived, she may look like she's trapped within the cage, behind its wires but I assure you, she is actually looking in from the outside, on green pastures Like when her life seems to be stuck in one place but she is actually just waiting to take others along with her, she's helpful like that Well, I guess I can now say that I've tried my best to describe her picture, imagine trying to describe her

Her Picture
Her picture shouts louder than ranting crowds marching against the deprivation of freedom, with heads and fists up high they declare their liberty draws nigh That's why I won't let it speak for itself but I'll try my best to describe it myself Her pose and posture resemble a throne A queen in her Majesty will not be overthrown Her shoulders fortified pillars of gold able to carry waterfalls of teardrops like a drowning woman carrying what breath she has - a shoulder to cry on The sun's radiance falls shy to the incredible shine that is her face Many who are in darkness meet her face and forget entirely what darkness even looks like, you can feel the warmth of it even with the coldest of hearts For cold hearts melt like candle wax at the warmth of her façade Her chin-up utters the boldness of a roaring lion in its territory - A king with absolute dominance and rule From her chin looking up is her highly noticeable lips Red as fiery rubies, season ripe raspberries As if rose petals, most red fell on her lips and were merged with them When her lips part, they let way to a mighty outpouring of words like poetry Declarations of glory worth awe Incense valued and collected by cherubim Graciously put together by her anointed tongue Empowered by her billion angels choir of vocal cords I paused for what seemed centuries attempting to ponder words and phrases that would accurately describe her eyes Piercing diamonds, refined and washed in the sight of a Holy God They carry vision in them, a multigenerational dream - looking forward with purpose on purpose Like stars hanging ever so majestic in the dark night, her eyes hang on her African skin Her eyes could easily become pathways to a promise: "No eye has seen, no ear has heard" She wears her rich dark hair like a crown for her obedience, "Well done, oh good and faithful servant" Don't be deceived, she may look like she's trapped within the cage, behind its wires but I assure you, she is actually looking in from the outside, on green pastures Like when her life seems to be stuck in one place but she is actually just waiting to take others along with her, she's helpful like that Well, I guess I can now say that I've tried my best to describe her picture, imagine trying to describe her
