-1-
Psalm of the spirit, 
Running deep like the Congo,
Hush me not, troubles.

-2-
Whispering promise,
Angels tears caress my face, 
Woman-child, breathe.

-3-
Heart, body, and soul, 
Longs the beautiful world of
Love, joy, and meaning.

-4-
Passion afire, 
Laud! The Sacrificial Gift,
A new beginning.

-5-
A jasmine incense,
Casts a sweet, righteous scent,
Penniless, yet rich.

-6- 
Swans mimic my grace,
Sugar-n-spice, I’m made of,
Jazz is what I breathe.

-7-
Flames of oppression,
Awake, thunder! Testify,
No, I shall not move.
