TONI MORRISON BEYOND THE CHAPTERS, A TRIBUTE

I remember at CUNY Medgar Evers College, Ms. Morrison came to speak about her Novel, “TAR BABY”

I thought, distinction

Author, Philosopher and Motivator all rolled into one Toni Morrison

Endless writing days and nights

Ms. Morrison’s life filled with words

Stories to tell

Her stories hit home like a ringing of the bell

Throughout her stories were assertions of her beginnings

Her own words with a devoted mind

Ms. Morrison a commodity at will

But there’s more to Toni Morrison even still

She was as Philosopher within

Her words of inspiration sounding like musical instruments with a device tempo

Taking only brief pauses in making sure her words were actually being taken in

As a Novelist, Ms. Toni Morrison strived

She lived her dream to write

Ms. Toni Morrison creativity was like a river turning into a rushing flowing stream

It was her freshness having golden delight to intrigue 

But it was Toni Morrison’s determination that told her to proceed

Ms. Morrison labored what she enjoyed and that was entertaining people through her writing and encouragement

Ms. Toni Morrison’s name will never be taken away

She is in Heaven and is simply ok

Until we meet again on the other side

Let my books and words continue to inspire 

When questions are in doubt about you

Did you see what I have accomplished?

When answers become uncertain?

I am a believer in hope and my hope comes from a higher authority

Toni Morrison answered that call

Her legacy has been established for all.
