Grace | Sihle Ntuli

Grace by Sihle Ntuli Agbowo Art African Art Literary

here my dear

flower with the wind

and drifting

 

just behind your breast plate

in front of your heart

there is a glow

that matches the textures of the neo-soul

 

state of mind

runs down

gentle stream

calm water

and a sound of gold.

 

open space

as space to breathe

time leaving

by the second

 

inhale your blues

exhale out mellow

 

rest your back

onto green suede couch

and soak under velvet sky

let the purple rain
