Looking out into the midst
i see the stages of
different colors blending
into the beyond, as if the
color goes on forever.
You never see where they
join into one beautiful
rainbow.
You just have faith it
happens eventually somewhere
even though it is never
seen with your eyes.

Lay the golden crowns a second cut made
Drying in neat rows from a twirling rake
My tractor idles in the chestnut’s shade
We rest from chores taking a little break
Once long days of summer growing shorter
Less urgent the cries of the feeding young
When harvest moon enters its first quarter
Seen rising when an evening song is sung
Now a light breeze rattles the drying leaves
From the warm earth lifts an afternoon haze
Find peace ‘tween a man and what he believes
Thoughtful recollections of good old days
A long slow circle back to tractor’s shed
Basks in glow of setting sun, blazing red

WHAT well you are with the wind, rain, and snow.....
Something does it to us when the time changes so does earth,,
People come and go and the wind blows in another direction..
Finding you and finding me is rare....
Oh the doorbell rang thought it might be you :)
Then i saw it was the the windchimes telling me it was earth..
I wake to the thought of you....
Go each day in wonder who you are?
Will we see time turn after we meet...
Only one know how the world turns without you.....

It´s not the treasures of the world
which invoken my longing
Far from selfish greed, I write these words
about seeing the one, my flower in her grace
I am not dreaming, or sleeping aswell
understanding, my life was a slumber for years.
Sharpen the senses, give the abstract a body,
Conflict between passion and praise
The sweet ordeur of youth surrounds it
the soft light of morning shines upon
the taste of a new season unfolds
its fine lining from unfullfilled embrace
Protecting the most valuable
the memory of every single moment
exploring insatiable the deepest empathy
for the few moments in this glaze

Windows pelted as rain's falling down
Obscured triple sight of landscape surround
Green grass flows by like a rivers current drive
Pane hosting flow, meanderings alive.
Silhouetted rainbow's find favourable sun
Art of refraction second to none
Seismic spectrum arched in a row
Rain laden breeze dancing their show.
Black cluster cloud's in flight passing by
Spectrum retain's as rays pass on by
Through the cracks of the clouds
Brilliant and free, humbly so proud.
A little thing overlooked from many with sight
Gone in a flash, expelled cast out bright
As black cluster clouds hide them from you
A little thing that's missed, from out of the blue~

About this poem:
One day during a sun shower I was watching the rain on the window, a little thing I know, yet what was given to me to see was simply beautiful. Try it sometime, it's very cool to see. Cheers.

A good Black Woman is proud of herself.
She respects herself and others.
She is aware of who she is.
She neither seeks definition from the person she is with, or does she expect them to read her mind.
She is quite capable of articulating her needs.
A good black woman is hopeful.
She is strong enough to make all her dreams come true.
She knows love, therefore she gives love.
She recognises that her love has great value and must be reciprocated.
If her love is taken for granted, it soon disappears.
A good black woman has a dash of inspiration, a dabble of endurance.
She knows that she will, at times, have to inspire others to reach the potential God gave them.
A good black woman knows her past, understands her present and moves toward the future.
A good black woman knows God.
She knows that with God the world is her playground, but without God she will just be played.
A good black woman does not live in fear of the future because of her past.
Instead, she understands that her life experiences are merely lessons,
meant to bring her closer to self knowledge and unconditional self love.

What If I Am A Black Woman?
Is it a disease? Well, if it is, I sure hope its catching
Because they need to pour it into a bottle,
label it, and sprinkle it All over the people
men and women who Ever loved or cried,
worked or died For any one of us.
So...What if I am a Black woman?
Is it a crime? Arrest me!
Because I'm strong, but I'm gentle,
I'm smart, but I'm learning, I'm loving, but I'm hateful.
And I like to work because
I like to eat and feed and
clothe and house Me, mine
and yours and everybody's,
Like I've been doing for the
past 300 years.
What if I am a Black woman?
Is it insane? Commit me!!
Because I want Happiness, not tears;
Truths not lies; Pleasure not pain;
Sunshine not rain; A man not a child!
What if I am a Black woman? Is it a sin?
Pray for me! And pray for you too,
If you don't like women of color
because we are... Midnight Black,
Chestnut Brown, Honey Bronzed,
Chocolate Covered, Cocoa Dipped,
Big Lipped, Big Breasted, and BEAUTIFUL
all at the same time!
So what if I am a Black Woman?
Does it bother you that much because
I want a man who wants me...
Loves me and trusts me, and respects me
And gives me everything because
I give him everything back, PLUS!!
What if I am a Black woman? I've got rights,
same as you! I have worked for them,
died for them, played and laid for them,
What if I am a Black woman?
I love me, and I want you to love me too,
But I am as I've always been,
Near you, close to you, beside you,
strong giving, loving,
For over 300 years, Your Black woman...Love me!

Colour...
When I born, I black;
When I grow up I black;
When I go in sun I black; When I scared, I black;
When I sick, I black;
And when I die, I still black;
And U White fellows;
When U born, U pink;
When U grow up, U white;
When U go in sun, U red;
When U cold, U blue;
When U scared, U yellow;
When U sick, U green;
When U die, U grey;
And U call me coloured...
