Ducking Under Shadows

They say if it's not seen
Doesn't mean that its not there
Out of sight doesn't mean out of touch -
Your vision might not be as sharp
As the blind person - work on it!

I slipped into my dark clothes
And disappeared into thin air
Like transparency -
Eye observed a lot but a lot...
Failed to recognise the 'I's...

Salif Keita and Cesaria Evora

Mystery

I went down the shadow valleys of Kilimanjaro...
Walked crookedly on the hills of the Himalayas...
Manoeuvred through the hells of Soweto...
And paused for a meditative moment...
On the shores of Jupiter's infinite flow...

It was in search of a 'meaning' I forgot time ago
My journey of life from love to Live...
Escorted me through the turmoils of hot and cold
Wet and dry...like a season's birth and reason's death
My equilibrium was best described as lukewarmish

I headed down history's pathway into mysteries and myths
Accumulated experiences and knowledge's twists and turns...
Exploded my brains into the heaven's glory
The beauty of my mind - the stars' ensemble

The biggest story not to be told - they say is a mystery
But I say the biggest story unfolding is 'mystory'
I read me like a book; from page to page, I slowly
Unveiled the hidden treasures buried in my heart and my soul
I remembered my creator, remembered myself and lived my dreams

Good Day


I clothed myself with the day light
And took a walk amongst a world of
Puzzled faces and sorrowed hearts

On a simple voyage to change the this hour
I smiled and said Good day, ma'am
Good day sir, good day everybody
How are you living today?

Enya - Carribean Blue



This music is like errrrm, a snoozing hour for my soul. Very chilled and relaxed...

When God Slept

A nonillion dollars wasn't enough -
To rid this world of illnesses and afflictions
All the science, degrees and Phds- altered nothing
It's like reading a whole page of gibberish -
In the hope of reaching a striking sentence to uplift you

Not in this book of the world I suppose not
A billion leaders - billion men of God
And yet the grass wasn't green enough for the sheep
Now they're chewing through the wires and the metals
Spiralled out of control - where are the shepherds?!

Maybe it will be all right one day but...
Before that, it has to be all wrong for now -
I am thinking, either God is asleep
Or perhaps he can't hear our cries and screams
Any longer...

Now


The cat in me prowls and tiptoes
Slowly behind the shadows of
Ignorance - but he never realised...
That the time has come to arise - like the sun
