There aren't words for her beauty except the ones she's written herself, so I quote.

Out of the huts of history's shame
I rise
Up from a past that's rooted in pain
I rise
I'm a black ocean, leaping and wide,
Welling and swelling I bear in the tide.
Leaving behind nights of terror and fear
I rise
Into a daybreak that's wondrously clear
I rise
Bringing the gifts that my ancestors gave,
I am the dream and the hope of the slave.
I rise
I rise
I rise.

Oh, wow. Rarely do I hear a poet read their works and find the oral version better than the text, but this is. Wow.

If only people like her could just live on forever.
