Her Greatest Lesson

She leaned against the sink
Her Newport dangling from her fingers
Smoke rised, dancing across her face...
I fought the urge to run and squeeze her so tight
That she would reveal the recipe of life to me!
"Love is all you need baby"
She was pretty in a matter of fact way
I craved her approval
So I would dance and sing until tears swelled
in her eyes...
She taught me that tears could be happy
too.

Will I ever find peace?
Better yet why doesn't it seek me?
I'm Enraged with a sadness
That only comes to those who yearn to be set FREE...
Free of doubt, Free of worry, Free of burdens reals and implied
Free from measuring success through the phrase
"Well, at least I tried"
I owe...No WE owe more to the blood our ancestors shed
We owe Selma, We owe Tulsa, We owe Harlem
And all the ideologies that they bred
Expression in the midst of Oppression
Love in the throes of hate
I view my Brothers and Sisters as Kings and Queens
Who have yet to reach their castle's gate
And so I wonder...
Will WE ever find peace?
Better yet why doesn't it seek us?
And the answer to that question lies in God's hands
With whom we place our unwavering trust
