Ebony, Who Is She?

by Arthurine B. Rice


Who is Ebony?
Someone recently asked,
She is an African Queen
She is you, she is me.

Who is Ebony?
Someone recently asked,
She is dark waters of the earth
She is a mystery.

She is golden, light and black
She is strong, yet tender
She is blessed with rich
Spices other women lack.

Who is Ebony?
Someone recently asked,
She is warmth on your flesh
She is a breeze blowing tenderly.

Who is Ebony?
Someone recently asked,
She is the Mother of Color
She died to keep slave sons free.

Who is Ebony?
Someone recently asked,
She is every Black Woman
She is you, she is me

WE ARE ALL EBONY !
