Love United

      

By Patrice Watley Williams

Patrice Watley Williams/Poetic Lyricist   Freedom to Write   A dream to be Successful and free Me, who am I? Or did I die? The sounds of new tomorrows If there is a tomorrow Clouds in my night And nights in my day All intertwined together I get confused on which is which Words from down in my soul Feel so cold, like I’ve been here before Blood running through my veins Am I insane? Or is it the pain that I feel, is it real? Then back on top of the world, so surreal Letters to God to free us all I’m sure he’s listening to my constant call A natural instinct to pen this paper Where my heart feels safer A free spirit, intriguingly guarded I pour it all out for me, for you No longer searching for my purpose Because God has given me the gift and freedom to write. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~   All in Black & White   I’m hanging up my tights No longer having to fight A natural at what I do For us, for you Writing through my spirit Recognizing the luxury of having words to express All in black and white Amazing messages relevant to all Spectacular struggles and triumphs A silver lining, not to overachieve Creating experimental portraits in the mind Transmitting to paper To capture the core and significance of living Running fast to catch up with every letter Every sound, every word To extend what I see To broaden what I’ve heard To contribute to what I feel Loving the sense of belonging And seeing it All in Black & White ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~   Racial Indifference We see and then…we don’t We hear and then…we don’t We do and then…we don’t Our culture often has no justice When we judge one another From the beginning of time  Instead of leaving this behavior behind. Going the distance But still not a world of equal justice. We inhale the same air… The same sunlight covers our bodies… And brings a different tone to our skin The same shadow hovers over us And brings back our unique color tone Yes our cultures are different and… There are those among us that won’t acknowledge There is racial indifference among us Some of us want to love and bond equally But our society makes it difficult to do We cannot continue to pretend it’s just me and you Fighting the struggle is hard enough to do Alone, wake up, we don’t have to. To be broken is to heal To feel your heart mending to reveal Your true hearts desire We are strangers to one another’s culture We always need more grace in our face To keep us grounded in faith. We say we love the Lord and all that he stands for But we repay him by differentiating and condemning, Not loving unconditionally. He created us all equally in the likeness of him Though we as judgmental creatures, Untouched by his sacrificing love We pray to live in the likeness of him But the opposite is what we portray. The sound of gentle rain filling our hearts Then the mystery of sudden despair People; open your eyes in exchange for the divine. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~   Poetically,   Patrice Watley Williams, Founder: Wearitgirlwigs.org   amazon.com/author/patricewatleywilliams Outreach Committee Chair/ http://www.iwillsurviveinc.org   ***to purchase my books click any link below: http://www.amazon.com/My-Pen-Speaks-Poetic-Vibes/dp/160911325X/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1313849129&sr=8-1 http://search.barnesandnoble.com/My-Pen-Speaks/Patrice-Watley-Williams/e/9781609113254/?itm=1&USRI=my+pen+speaks http://www.booksamillion.com/p/My-Pen-Speaks/Patrice-Watley-Williams/9781609113254?id=5058590506127 Thank you for allowing me the freedom to be expressive as my Caterpillars blossom into Butterflies!!!
