Your brown skin is inspirational to
Me,
Because I’m not afraid of whom I am,
I now have strength, courage and wisdom,
Because of you,
That I know,
Now that there are going
To be better days,
Apparatus talented obviously,
But moving lyrics that slip
From your tongue like lard,
Your superbly strumming
Of your guitar is like a
Flourish of sunflowers to
A bumble-bee,
I’m captivated,
I’m interested,
Mentally,
Morally,
And like no other
I can see the God in you.

Note: An ode to India Arie.
