    Hope Like Water

    I must admit I don’t know much about you The first ocean in which I’ve ever swam You were there in my mother’s womb And every other home in which I’ve ever lived I drink you And you consume me I cook with you From pieces of your soul I feed my children And we bathe in your arms Watching as you carry us Water Invisible Yet nurturing I know not what you are Not exactly I think you’re spiritual Because you left your DNA in my skin Your truth dripping as it clung onto my bones Like breath of life escaping my lips A misty cloud A forehead kiss Or a mother’s smile And the world is yours to conquer When she winks her eye And you know you got this You’re there to fulfill all our needs A spiritual fluid That man has not fully understood Like heaven right here on Earth Miracles In the desert If I could bottle hope I imagine it’ll look something like you If I could taste on my lips expectation I imagine paradise would taste Something like you If truth could be wrapped up in one word If hope could manifest itself… Continue reading

About Me

My name is Yecheilyah (e-see-li-yah), and my work confronts historical erasure and advocates for a more inclusive understanding of Black history. Through my literature and poetry, I uncover and preserve the rich, often underrepresented stories of African Americans. I also host an annual poetry contest.
