Peaceful Fire

Inspiration 1 Minute

WDYS#174 and Suzetteb haiku: Is Lit!

Try to burn the pages of our history

Take away our voices

Make our dreams go up in flames

But, our hearts will burn for the path of those who paved it before us

Inscribed lyrics of hip hop artist and the branded lyrics of our ancestors ring fiercely and true

Spoken words, incendiary speeches, rewritten stories slaved by what you believe about us, but not for us

Smoldered Black History to one Month, but we be lit on the pages of daily reading and living

Trying to fan our blazing fire peacefully, (royally)

I am a Texas transplant from Virginia Beach and I love family, food, and entertaining with friends! On any given weekend you will find me out enjoying the city having dining & sipping moments with family and friends. Besides being a foodie and an avid sports fan, l love writing as well! I enjoy writing poetry, articles on my dining experiences and short stories. Look for my musings and written expression each day and let me know what is on your mind too. As my cousin, Kendra Edozie, quoted: It All Begins With Just A Thought.

  2. Beautifully said, Pamelap. I particularly like the line, ‘Smoldered Black History to one Month, but we be lit on the pages of daily reading and living.’ That says it all and is full of meaningful truth. Xx 🌼💞
