VALIDATED DREAMS: SWEET LUPITA @Lupita_Nyongo
WRITTEN BY: J. Ivy
When beauty strikes it strokes the soul like fine feathers,
Softening the rough edges,
Tickling the spirit of life…
It is here we’re reminded of our joy.
Happiness loves company,
It is inviting from the inside out,
Contaminated with conviction,
It pours out of our pores,
This contagion soars,
It’s addictive,
It’s electric,
Inspiring.
She Is Inspiring...
A breath of fresh air floating on ambition,
A path that’s been vouched by her vision,
Her belief,
I believe that her beauty is pure,
Flawless,
Jaws drop when she walks by,
Conversations start,
Voices speak of the motion of this art,
Her movement is monumental,
Instrumental to the symphony we hear,
You can’t debate this taste,
Our desires have flavor,
When the appetite of hope is harmed by hate,
Hearts are healed by the love we hold,
Bold moves shape the royal steps we take,
Our walk is stimulated by waves of beauty,
Earth’s beautiful tones,
A palette of passion,
Her fashion is flowered with gorgeous brown skin,
Bronze light that shines like the finest gold,
Soft and pure like Nairobi’s Blues,
Her texture shattered the misconceptions of what beauty is,
She is what beauty is,
Little brown girls rejoiced when her moment was met,
They found a new appreciation for self,
Realized their value,
They now know how priceless they are,
How powerful they are,
That’s why admirers admire her,
Absorb her essence,
Her presence is regal,
Elegance eases out of the eternity of her,
Her beauty is forever,
Frozen are these moments,
The world will remember,
The future will forever revisit this landmark,
The winds will continue to catch her grace,
Carrying her goodness,
Spreading a sweet voice that speaks for millions,
Truth has been spoken,
She inspires freedom with the barriers she’s broken,
New universes have been open,
Without the weight of fear we have taken new flight,
The journey of a star starts with the beat of their light,
The beauty of their spirit,
In the depths of her soul this sweet spark sparked a multitude of magic,
And found that, “No matter where you're from,
Your dreams are valid.”
