Sleep, love sleep,
The night winds sigh,
In soft lullaby.
The lark is at rest
With the dew on her breast.
So close those dear eyes,
That borrowed their hue from the heavens so blue
Sleep, love sleep
-Mary Weston Fordham

Black Poetry Day is a celebration of rhythm, resilience, and radiant truth. Today, we honor the poets who turned survival into art, and memory into movement. Their words rise—and so do we.

to know injustice
to endure the reality of
others supporting fear, not love,
to not give up…
