Soft Like Sunday

She speaks in lullabies,

walks in blooms,

carries light

into heavy rooms.

She is warmth

in a cold-eyed world,

a soft Black woman

with edges curled.

Gentle, yes—

but don’t mistake:

there’s steel beneath

each breath she takes.

2025/4/22 Edited to

... Read moreThe poem "Soft Like Sunday" beautifully captures the essence of a nurturing spirit amid challenges. The imagery of lullabies and blooms conveys softness, while metaphors of steel reveal inner strength. This artistic expression speaks to the duality of vulnerability and resilience found within individuals, particularly in underrepresented communities. In literature and art, the representation of soft yet strong Black women is a crucial dialogue, highlighting their experiences and perspectives. Embracing softness does not diminish power; instead, it enhances the beauty of their truth. The intersection of these qualities inspires conversations about identity, representation, and the celebration of diverse narratives that often go unrecognized. The strength in gentleness resonates universally, appealing to readers seeking deeper connections and understanding in a complex world.
