what
make
our
wings flutter
through
the
weary sky
we
go up
through
the
pastel blue clouds
if
we lean
against
the
windstorms
when
we
believe

what
make
our

the
silver blue sky
up
through

so high

the
things
we
see with our eyes

time
does wash
away the soul
into grains of sand
trapped in an hourglass
time is the ghost of the past
and it leaves a hole that last

once upon a time
mama said
son
when
i am
dead and gone
and
six feet under
bury me
in
a white silk robe
because
ain't nobody
gonna
steal my joy
Stu Harley Jan 14
The wind may howl, the clouds may roar,
Thunder crack and storms may pour,
But deep within, a fire burns bright,
Ain't nobody gonna steal my light.

Trials come, waves crash and churn,
Hope may flicker, embers turn,
But roots run deep, where joy takes hold,
Ain't nobody gonna sell me cold.

Shadows creep, doubt whispers low,
Fear may claw, a silent foe,
But I raise my voice, a joyful shout,
Ain't nobody gonna dim my doubt.

Through grit and grind, my spirit leaps,
Over hurdles, valleys steeps,
For in my heart, a song takes flight,
Ain't nobody gonna steal my night.

The world may spin, a dizzy chase,
Smiles may fade, leave an empty space,
But in my soul, a truth takes root,
Ain't nobody gonna steal my loot.

My joy, a treasure hard-won prize,
Sparkling fire in my eyes,
A radiant flame, a burning song,
Ain't nobody gonna do me wrong.

So let them scoff, let shadows fall,
I'll dance with joy, embrace it all,
For in this life, my own to claim,
Ain't nobody gonna steal my flame.

So raise your voice, let your spirit soar,
Sing your song, forevermore,
For in the depths, where joy takes hold,
Ain't nobody gonna steal your soul.

women of color
the color of
unbroken love
your coco butter skin
beams from
the moonlight above
a constant beauty
that radiate your love
the color of my queen
sit down by my side
you glow with a pride
together again
as we walk down the Nile
side by side
the color of a woman inside
rise from the ashes again
be the
women of color within
and
all eyes upon you
