I am a drop of rain, a stream of consciousness; a humble soul with a human face. A child of the Nile.

The Echo of Silence
Is louder than a thundering voice
And vibration is transliterated through frequency. by @mystyksage

In the Mind of the Beholder.
It's your mind that tells whether someone of something is full of beauty. Your eyes only see what's on the surface. You comprehend from the subconscious not from the waves and ripples at the top.

Stardust Awakening
By Mystyk Sage

Your cells hold ancient whispers,
not of ancestors alone, but of dying stars.
Cosmic dust settled in the marrow, heavy and waiting
for the spark, the holy friction,
the Nkisi’s (channeled power) gentle, insistent nudge
against the ribs of your forgetting.

In the velvet dark of unknowing,
where the ego dissolves into the salt of the deep,
seeds of light unfurl like slow-blooming nebulae.
Roots of red earth reach downward,
anchoring the Nitu (physical body)
to the celestial beat that thrums beneath the soil.

Muntu (the conscious self) stirs—a silver wave
rising from the obsidian glass of Kalûnga’s (universal essence) boundless sea.
It is a memory of fire, a hum in the chambers of bone,
reminding you that the wave does not just travel the ocean;
the wave is the ocean, standing up to breathe.

Wake now, for the Great Cycle beckons.
Feel the cool mist of Kala (the dawn), where the soul is born in water,
then the searing gold of Tukula (the noon-fire), where the will is forged in heat.
Descend into Uzala’s (the fertile womb of dusk), where the spirit ripens in shadow,
and rest in Lwala’s (the midnight song), the silent spin of the Great Return.

You are the weaver and the thread,
the dancer and the drum.
The stars did not fall to earth to be buried,
they fell to be planted.
So rise, little wave, and crash against the shore of the world
until the salt of your truth is all that remains.

*Roots of Unity*

Africa's heartbeat pulses strong
enough, enough, enough
a mantra born
within the depths of our souls
a call to rise, to heal, to thrive

the Caribbean's vibrant branch
stretches out, a lifeline wide
the islands, fruits of love and strife
ripening, growing, interconnected

heal the wounds of the past
and the world's wounds will begin to mend
Ubuntu's spirit whispers loud
I am because we are, intertwined

leaves on the same tree, we sway
together, our roots run deep
Africa's heartbeat, the world's pulse
enough, enough, enough, we are one, we are leaves of the same tree.

Midnight Whispers*
By Mystyk Sage

in the hush of night's dark veil
shadows dance upon the wall
a silhouette of what remains
echoes of memories, a whispered refrain

the city's pulse, a heartbeat slow
a rhythm that throbs, a cadence low
in the streets, a sea of faces flow
each one a story, a life, a woe

but in the silence, a spark is lit
a flame that flickers, a heart that's split
between the darkness and the light
a soul is searching, for a glimpse of sight

in the in-between, where shadows play
a figure moves, with steps that sway
a whispered promise, a gentle breeze
a moment's peace, in the city's dissonance

the wind it howls, a mournful sigh
as petals fall, like tears from the sky
but in the stillness, a truth is born
that in the brokenness, beauty is reborn

so let the night, with all its might
wrap its shadows, around the light
for in the darkness, a spark remains
a beacon calling, through life's refrains

The Wake of Fifteen Percent
By Mystyk Sage

The horizon is a jagged line of salt and grief,
where twelve and a half million breaths
were pulled from the red earth
and packed into the cedar bellies of thirty-five thousand ghosts.

Below the waterline,
time is measured in the rhythmic groan of timber
and the silence of two million who went overboard—
stars that fell into the deep before they could touch the shore.

The ledger is written in a dozen tongues:
Portuguese sails heavy with the weight of the south,
British iron forged in the heat of a rising empire,
French ships dreaming of indigo and the pearls of the Antilles.
The Dutch merchant, the middleman of the tide,
counts his guilders as the Spanish crown waits for the mines to fill.

Even the silent echoes carry the cost—
Danish forts on the burning coast,
Prussian gold seeking a foothold in the dust,
and German looms weaving the cloth that bought a soul.
A continent of creditors, a world built on a debt
that no amount of sugar could ever repay.

The Atlantic does not forget.
It carries the vibration of the Middle Passage
in every wave that breaks upon the sand—
a long, salt-crusted echo
of the revelation found in the rhythm of survival.

I stand here now, the living proof of the endurance,
a witness to the strength that refused to break;
for I am one of those surviving branches
grown strong from the stolen roots.
