Oceans of Love: To Us From Us
by
Book Cover & Preview Text
Love: In The Flesh She’s up before the sun
Undaunted by the pile of tossed
And misplaced curls--some matted
Some dangling
Standing stalwartly looking to the heavens
She hurls rows upon rows of loving supplications
Which like a spiraling pyramid, ascend
Each floating upward--skyward
Meeting in heaven where every single one
Blends with another to form one of her
Loving prayers for her family--and the world.

About the Book
Delores King-Freeman voices deep love for her people in these poems. Her utmost belief is that love for self is the fundamental key to the survival and revival of a people grossly wronged, demeaned, dehumanized and partially destroyed. Her passionate plea is for universal love.
Her words are powerful and thought-provoking; some informative; some sympathetic; some stimulating; some frank and to the point; some highlight the real deal on self-love; some talk to what is owed to us; some make it known that we owe much to ourselves; some are fun loving; but all echo the black experience.
Delores emphasizes our ancestors are yet watching-hoping to see signs of victory over hatred imbedded within us during those inhumane slavery years. She states each generation is an investment in life, as the lives of our fore fathers influence ours today; and our evolution will be the foundation for our heirs. Each person has a duty to live, love and leave a legacy.
The poems can be of great benefit – touching, healing, awakening, and soothing. They encourage involvement. All can enjoy life’s journey, even though a risk . . . a tumultuous sea of ups and downs . . . it is yet a necessity. Enjoy the ride!

She sincerely hopes her words will benefit all who read them-gently touching, softly soothing, fervently healing, enthusiastically motivating, and delightfully awakening.
