Nylynthial Greenland Poems

Who Cares...
Whether I am Haitian, Swedish, Chinese
Arabic, Russian, Polish, or Guyanese
American, Jamaican, Honduran, or French
...

If night was day and the night turned gray, would you still find a way to smile for me?
Or maybe the sun fell down on us during a winter storm and being too warm stopped you from calling.
Did His love for me intimidate you to the point you can’t see us together one day?
Sometimes love can be blind but you ain’t hearing what I’m saying to you. At times, I can be firm but that’s no reason to confirm that…I don’t love you.
...

SLEEP, WAKE-UP, SHOWER, and SHAVE.
COMB my hair, PRAY my sins away.
COOK, CLEAN, CLEAR my mind, then LEAVE.
INHALE the day, EXHALE, THINK, then BREATHE.
...

II Conceded

May the Lord be my Protector and guide me?
Yeeeesss... for He loves me
