I Am Serenity
Inspired by the profound photo of a woman in the Black Lives Matter, Baton Rouge Protest... Ieshia Evans... July 2016 ... Photo by Jonathan Bachman, for Reuters
I am serenity ... standing here flowing...
Seeking justice...
Seeking peace...
Pronounced with calm breaths...
fearing not the chaos of the hatred armor and fists you bear...
My face of clarity speaking with unspoken words...
Yet loudly, stance proudly... with spirit from head to toe
Look into the mirror of my eyes...
See how torrid and wrong your acts are...
Against me, against us, against skin that is beauty from the colors of early dawn...
to the whispers of night's shade...
You make haste and rage against us...
You bring hate to attempt to erase us...
But I stand here... flowing with spirit of winds gentle around me
In my motion... see... that I Am Meant To Be...
Free of your haste...
Free of your rage ...
Free of your hate...
I am serenity... standing here flowing...
Seeking justice...
Seeking Peace...
