I am who I am
A rock beneath the waters
The prince of the black sea
Silent listener to the soft breeze
That carries old tales of light and dark
And of the secret darkened rose of Africa
Whose distilled succulent scent
Commands the world to shut up and listen
Her ever-alert thorns
Horn and hush the decay of red earth
Rousing dreams and fantasies
Of the quiet ones
The dreamers
And misfits
Who carry
Gentle
Hearts
