Poem Artwork

My love, above all, is my dearest friend.
I would trust her with any thing we say.

If I had talent to paint her portrait,
Or sculpt her likeness out of earthen clay—
Orchids would form her innermost beauty;
Granite would become her outer display.
 

When time cools her soul to a dying ember,
Hardened stone will make Jen live forever.

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!
