She walked right passed him. He who was a King. It hadn’t been intentional. And as he straightened his crown; flexing his pectorals. Hoping that the sun’s rays would hit his kingly. That this woman would see him. That she would fall to his feet. For he needed her to be his Queen. She might have been if he had come months sooner.
For in her a sea of intensity had raged. A hurricane of hunger surged through her. Its lightning and thunder awakened her. She could only see the very being she was striving to be. She was manifesting.
Dimensions she hadn’t seen. Dreams she hadn’t dreamt. She was inspired. She was ready to defy. She was ready to fly. She was manifesting. Her being had been rebooted. Schooled by knowledge that had been so empowering. She was manifesting.
She didn’t dress like a queen. Her hair was pulled back in a messy ponytail; sweat running down her face. In her denim jeans were patches of dirt. That represented the business she was building. The degree she was completing The integrity she held on to. The book she was writing. She was manifesting.
There, etched into her black skin were jewels of her hard work. All the things her sweat, blood and tears had achieved. She was manifesting. The king went in search of her. Resting his crown. Putting on his boots. Running towards her Trying to catch traces of the beauty that lingered in the wind; gracing time and changing lives. She was manifesting
My name is Shantae Gray. A proud Jamaican and a graduate of The Caribbean Maritime University. I enjoy long hours at the beach, reading and singing.
I can’t say that writing is just a hobby. For me, it is far more than that. It has become a way of life. A God given talent that I appreciate each day.
It’s funny how my emotions and feelings are tied to my writing. If I can feel it, I can write it. I love that about my craft. It is my feelings and emotions on paper.
I am working on my first book of poetry and aspire to be a renowned self-published author.
