a reason, season, or a lifetime" and for the most part I tend to agree! However, I've
discovered an additional purpose for some people to enter another's life, I call it "mic-time"!
I'm sure you are wondering what does it mean, mic-time. It's quite simple, it's when you
meet someone and they are filled with words that speak to you through experiences and
involvements that can be shared to promote wellness and wholeness within another.
There are a small number of individuals that we come across in life that share artistic gifts
that can uplift, inspire, and purge us into a better version of one's self. Although, these
interactions are powerful they may not be there for a season, one particular reason,
or a lifetime....just a mic-time!
Recently, I met this remarkable and courageous young lady who is full of life in various
ways. She's striking in the areas of self-awareness and education. Meeting this
sister reminded me of some of the reasons why I started this blog. We (sisters)
are often described in negative ways such as "angry, bitter, and hostile", however we
are much more than that! We are leaders, nurturers, trendsetters,
survivors and the list goes on. However, despite the most difficult situations
that have been placed on us, we remain vital and an essential
fabric to the future of all humanity!
Therefore, I'm elated to introduce to you an author, educator, poet, and sister,
Ms. Elle Capri! Ms. Capri is the author of "Metamorphosis", which is "
a collection of poems in which she shares an array of her feelings,
thoughts, and emotions including happiness, sadness, bluntness, disappointment,
joy, love, resilience, and her undeniable faith in GOD." After several discussions
with Elle, I was overwhelmed with the sense of life, which resonates from
her soul. I gathered that her life has been full of amazing twist and turns
that fashioned and shaped her into a unique being. Enjoy the read!
Buried Treasure
By Elle Capri
By Elle Capri
Sunlight accented melanin, beams of heat penetrate my skin.
Flowing with elegance and grace, the look of pride upon my face.
Head shining like the moon, turning heads as I grace the room.
Strong and forceful I walk the trail, waiting for the moment I exhale.
I’ve waited for this moment to come, a beautiful depiction of were my ancestors came from.
The smile is forming, I feel my face.
Small tear drops I began to taste, flashes of color take over the screen.
As I feel my insides scream Wakanda!!
I can’t help but wish this place did exist, as I marvel at these beautiful images.
My breath is taking and so is my speech, I gotta pee but can’t leave my seat.
The 3D is amazing I feel like I’m there, just another black woman moving in her chair.
Here come the credits I don’t wanna leave, now that was a movie I’d pay twice to see.
