InHumanity

 

I am in myself I am in somebody else

The sky and lakes will feel our pain

‘Cause we are so round and so vain

Black trees could very well follow

And yet the ground still loves our feet

It knows absolutely nothing

But every secret in humanity

I found myself the day that I ignored myself

Like a kiss enlivens and wrecks a contented soul

The sun makes me feel so forgiving and grateful I cry

Its service is so perfect, so unselfish

So painfully right, so anxiously on time

Reflects us in our prime

One day in humanity

Don’t thrash yourself all about

Wanting to find all the secrets to s’quell your doubts

Truth is in reflection…A dream is in foresight…

Being is nativity, Purity is passion

I know some of you disagree right now

Your wheels run the opposite of my rambling about

And see that is the essence, the beauty, the glory, the secrecy

If you wish to understand our species in    humanity.

 

Black Daisy in a White Limousine: 77 Poems is an urban anthology of modern challenges, passages, spirituality, sexuality, love and family. This provocative collection of contemporary poetry eloquently embraces a multitude of subjects from the coming of age experiences of a teenage girl with the inevitable loss of love and innocence to an impassioned spirit in hopes of becoming a modern-day renaissance woman.

 

Filled with humor, cyniciscm, courage, vision, and unique twist of perception, you’ll walk away with a colorful outlook and the sense of a well worn journey that lands safely in a place of strength and hope. (I’m on a beautiful smile of endless sunshine / Music on my fears / Words trace these lovely tree lines / Prancing on the horizon / Wrapped in peaceful white)

 

At once embattled and courageous are the poems depicting the triumphant self-realization that comes with battling and eventually overcoming her own mental illness. Never self-indulgent, her naked depiction of her own battle portrays both confusion and angst yet seems to never lose sight of hopeful anticipation (So sensitive the untold are / Moving along like sound / Either living deeply bruised or forgotten / Or eternally found)

 

“Yashi’s poems are passionate and provocative. They include reflections about mental illness, but address themes to which just about everyone can relate.”

 

–Michael J. Fitzpatrick, Executive Director, NAMI (National Alliance on Mental Illness).
