shenice.

i am the poet & the poem. the gold lined in every word that first took root within.

i am the quiet evening. sun setting with amber hues.

setting the world alight with a single look. touch.

i am the settled morning. the warmth steadily rising

behind the clouds. the calm beyond the chaos. beyond the storm.

i am still water. tranquillity flows along the surface,

while streams heavy, full & unpredictable run deep.

i am soul music. the hearty melody that rattles your bones. the anchored voice that sinks beneath your skin. the song that sings life into your blood.

i am golden hour. summer solstice. an inevitable experience continuously anticipated. time after time.

i am black & woman. the gentle presence consuming a room. a disruptor of the comfortable. the artist & the art. soil & garden. the inspiration to become. to just be.
