African Lillies - By Wak


She Sits Poised & Regal, Tranquil But Strong Her Mahogany Skin, Being Kissed Slowly By The Sun Her Beauty Taste Of Honey, Her Lips Are Bee Stung Gaze Upon Her Too Long, You Will Hear Negro Spirituals Being Sung Wrapped In Silk Soaked In Peaches, The Sweetness Overflows Her Pride Swells Like A Seed & Begins To Grow, While Lillies Of Purity, Bask In The Glow A Crown Of Locs, Adorn Her Head, Sometimes Referred To, Simply As Dreads The Evidence Of Ancestors, As Strong As The Sea She Longs To Be No Other…She Longs Only To Be…….ME!!!!!!!

Kevin A. Williams aka WAK www.wak-art.com

Kevin A. Williams is an artist on a mission, but his is no solo trip: He wants to take you on the journey, too. His destination is a place where more African-Americans will appreciate, own and even create fine art that honors their rich heritage and hope filled destiny. So far, tens of thousands of people have willingly followed Williams to that vista – including talk-show host Oprah Winfrey, and actor comedian Bernie Mac. From celebrity homes to small businesses, corporate offices and women’s spas, Williams’ original and lithograph artwork hangs from coast to coast.
