*I saw with my heart* *In a summertime dream* *Something beautiful, awesome and pure:* *Two eagles, mid-air* *Above a clear lake* *Flying wingtips together and sure.* *Dipping low, soaring high* *With effortless skill* *They blended with rapturous ease.* *Like love on gold wings* *They flew in the light* *Just skimming the loftiest trees.* *Can something so wild,* *So fluid and free,* *Be a part of this life here below?* *Must we watch with our hearts* *Yet be tethered, in fact—* *Only agony-ecstasy know?* *Soaring up to the Light* *Our spirits are loosed—* *All encumbrance of circumstance gone.* *High gliding and chaste,* *Suspended and free,* *Our flight is rapturously long.* *Oh God, make a nest* *In the loftiest trees* *For these eagle-like spirits of ours.* *No more can we rest* *Far down on the earth* *So filled with its languid tomorrows.* *—Patricia Henderson Struntz, 1982*

In the Whirlwind by Tichaona Chinyelu

In the Whirlwind is a poetic storm that frees history from the cages of corruption and puts it in the hands of everyday people. Words are weaved into a new fashion statement that has nothing to do with runways but everything to do with projects!

Contraband Marriage by Tichaona Chinyelu

Contraband Marriage, traveling along the hemline of loving after incarceration, is a love story written in lyric and free form, set in reality with a different ever after.
