The Blackness

black grapes dangling from a vine
the darker the skin, the sweeter the wine


black clouds erupting across the sky
raindrops flowing profusely echoing a Nubian cry


black soil with all of its minerals and hidden richness 
solid terrain for life and growth,  a cornerstone for human bliss 


black midnight with bright stars abound
the peace and calm of night projects promise as a 
a new day comes around 


black coffee, no sugar, no cream 
a taste nothing less than bold, if you know 
what I mean
