Wrapped In Black ©Dawn Minott |a Dectina Refrain

On By Dawn MinottIn Poetry

Black,

She moves  

Calmly, in  

Her beauty, bold

No shadows she flows

In quiet strength she grows

Wrapped in mystery, untold

Essence spills, her truth unfolds

A heart deep, a soul’s revelation

Black, she moves calmly, in her beauty, bold

    I I don’t know what to say, except that I was blown away. I am astounded by the breath and depth of your knowledge of this discipline. There is an ease with which your words embody the styles to which you expose us. THANK YOU!
