Dropping off the page a bit
Got lost in the translation
Lit up my thoughts and took a hit
Tingling lingers, verbal sensations
The words had more than words to say
They led me down a path
Got me lost in yesterday
I had some trouble coming back
They spun me, weaving round in messages
The kind that linger for awhile
Magical, lyrical passages
Reviving long forgotten smiles
Paths of wonder, hope and fantasy
A never ending journey
Moments defying gravity
Completely wrapped up in the story
Oh, the places we will go
Without cost or consequences
The place only a story knows
When lost in our subconsciousness

Go Tell it on the Mountain by James Baldwin
Published on the 18th of May, 1953, ‘Go Tell it on the Mountain’ became the book that James Baldwin is probably most famous for. Including the very real impacts of violence upon the African American community during a time of turbulence for Civil Rights, James Baldwin became an absolute superstar not just of his race, but of the oppressed in every situation, in every country, all over the world. From Palestine to the Civil Rights Movement, from the LGBTQA+ to Muslim Migrants from war-torn countries, James Baldwin is the voice of the oppressed not just through the way he presents the division, but the way he presents a reality that the oppressors could not possibly be aware of. A reality in which every day is a fight to survive. What makes this even more real is that this is a semi-autobiographical novel. In my personal opinion, James Baldwin was the most articulate man in history.

Hopelessly lost in reverie, held captive with longing for what is past, yet to come, creativity itself.
Happy to see that you're back, Kelli! I loved this poem so much!
