BIPOC WRITING PROMPT # 1: FLOWERS IN OUR HAIR


Adorned with lush pink petals in my long black hair,
They bloom, its sweet aroma emitting from my soul, 
My dark eyes glowing bright as onyx stones, 
My brown skin sunkissed by eons of my ancestors,
I step out into the moonlight, look upon the heavenly skies
O Allah, I call upon Mother Earth
To dress upon me Her Beauty
As I carefully walk upon the green pasture, 
I close my eyes and bow my head,
O Universe, 
I thank thee for blessing us with your riches.
