is in her step such grace
goes in the movement of her
arms & shoulders as she walks
such grace in how she holds
her head how graceful the
gestures of her hands such
grace in the way she slightly
tilts her face toward me when
a smile is beginning there
and float in air of a dan-cer
suspended flight of a
hummingbird always she goes
in grace there is such
grace in all her going.
Stand tall, no matter your heights, how dark your skin
Your spirit is all colors within
You are made of the finest woven light
From the iridescent love that formed your mothers, fathers
Your grandparents all the way back on the spiral road----
There is no end to this love
It has formed your bodies
Feeds your bright spirits
And no metter what happens in these times of breaking----
No matter dictators, the heartless, and liars
No matter----you are born of those
Who kept ceremonial embers burning in their hands
All through the miles of relntless exile
Those who sang the path through massacre
All the way to sunrise
You will make it through----
