An ebony goddess
of beauty never seen
she is African
Caribbean
a Nubian Queen.
She the essence of
her father
she the essence of
her mother
in heart she is
our sister
in heart we are
her brother
in heart we are
one in her
as a fire
like no other
with her
the world does
turn
with her
our bellies
burn
as we long to be
near her
we love her
not fear her
she sings out
we can hear her
as she moves
we can mirror
all the light
she projects
what she adores
she protects
what is foreign
she respects
what is hostile
she rejects.
She is precious
she is priceless
with her presence
we are warmly
acquainted
with her blessings
we are joyfully
painted.
