The ART of my Existence
I consider myself to be an artist in every facet of my existence
My art is my everthing; not confined, it's unbound, not grounded but profound
It evokes good vibrations or electricity that resonates with others and fulfills my special needs
An epiphany in thought brings joy to the nerve of my being
An enlightened phrase worthy of immortality
An eloquent tongue pleasures all ears
Art for a song, a video or the library
When I paint my face, it is none other than she with a love for self-expression and creativity
Makeup does not create fictious false image
But is a beautiful canvas that I have the pleasure to work with
It is color, it is value, it is shape, it is form
Anything you create is Not of the Norm
Salone Girl, Fine Titi, Headwrap showing the culture of me
Dress to Impress yourself
You know what you can do
African Golden Queen,YOU be so in love with YOU
However you dress can be as it may
It is the garment you chose for the day
You are beyond radiant, no one can take that away
It inspires my heart that Monae, Bailey Rae and Varner make music that is Art
Miss Keys, Miss Scott and Miss Ambrosius, the words that you sing make me feel so golden
Badu, Hill and Arie are ladies whose music can truly influence she
Such courage is a rarity
Bold women sharing well-informed beliefs
Music that reflects positive ideologies
Soul, Realness and Love
they have all of the above
Is it not refreshing to see a woman in a suit and tie; still beautiful as ever!
Natural girls with fluffy curls and melodic soothing voices
With songs that show their sultry side and some ambitious choices
I listen to my Sistah Soul Songs for a lifting up
I listen to my Sistah Soul Songs to learn, to live and love
I listen to my Sistah Soul Songs while I do my twist out
I listen to my Sistah Soul Songs to dance and sing and twist and shout
If not to enlighten
If not to uplift
If not to enrich
If not to empower
Then music ain't doing shit
Excuse my reference to defecation but
GREAT MUSIC HAS THE POWER TO HEAL THE NATIONS
I have a great appreciation for the beauty in all of which is creation
I'll take a long walk simply just to visualize variations
Nature is a testimony just in its own existence
The beauty seems unreal yet it is true non-fiction
A rainbow sighting is much more than an arch leading to treasure
but a fascinating slide to your imagination without measure
Every flower, every snowflake, every animal on the planet
Is made as an individual on a unique tangent
When I seep into my reverie
and think of all possibilities
I realize my
Joy is everlasting
Happiness is only temporary
In all thought, In all speech, In all dress
What you think, What you feel, What you know that is real
Let it give you peace that is eternal; not ephemeral
Let it give you wisdom full of purpose; not pretension-full
Let it give you understanding so unconditional; not pre-screened by something unalterable
I am proud of me
My physically curved identity
My thick curls coming out of my follicles
My roots connected to Africa
My speech articulate and adaptable
My art authenic and it's variety
My taste ecletic open to learning
My ambition driven to the power of working
My intellect curious about many things
My overall goal is excellence
My joy is present because I know I am blessed
