spittin' incarnation

spittin' reincarnation

(to sweet lydia rhythms)

zora neal hurston, hurtin'

'till alice walker awoken

with purple prosaic potions

now million zillies day walkin'

busy, buzz ze, just creatin'

jus' like wit dat spring time pollen-

zola, oprah ~ includin'

all them queen bees afri-can.

'afraid i can?' bzzzzz 'fraid i can!'

rise girl rise! ~ you alllllll happenin~

splendid miracle creation,

a 21^st renaissance ~

flyin', stingin' n' a' stylin

all day long nurturin', singin'

for faith resusitatin',

life style rejuvintatin

with that golden powder pollen,

bringin' souls to resurrection...

Can't argue with you. She is a master artist in many ways.

Wow....what a nice surprise! Aside from being completely flattered by the dedication, I am smiling at the cadence and the imagery that pops into my head reading these lines.

"now million zillies walkin" That alone gave me an awesome mental painting!

This is beautiful and inspiring. It's like soul resuscitation to have the menfolk behind all us "girls african" saying go! go! go! I would love to use this in the opening of a book one day. Thank you Patrick.

And hugs Sir Spencer! You know I am always honored by what you say! Thank you:)

menfolk behind all our queens- brothers need to recognize how great our ladies are, how fundamental to our realities and bow down, humble genuflection. please use as the opening chapter to your future love power novel.

nothing but.... blessings lady lydia...

if by bandwagon, you are paying homage to the width or girth of her talent- pretty easy to jump on- like being on earth and saying you are going to join earth-kind.

the movement- we are working on engineering some interesting undercurrents into something more prominent and pronounced. would love to work with you on it.
