I stared into the abyss

Into the place void of hope

Into the chasm that swallows all dreams

I stared into the darkness before me

Shut your eyes the voice said

Look inside, I was instructed

Look beyond what is before you

See, I said see all that resides within

All you see, is not all there is

There is more inside

There is more set up for you

Look to me and...

Seasons

The changing of times come

Many are aware, yet few are prepared

The transitioning from one state to another

The falling away and new birth witnessed

Of harvests and sowing

Of building up and tearing down

Of holding up and pruning some

Seasons

Inevitable in all their ways

Slightly different with every year

The colours though appearing the same, uniquely chan...

There is a beauty in humanity that goes beyond skin deep

A marvel that resides beyond the colour of one’s skin

That is seen when you peer through one’s heart

When intensions are deciphered and love is revealed

When uniqueness is celebrated, and diversity appreciated

When we all realise that the blood that courses through our veins remains the same

That in the variety of personali...

Ignorance is the deceiver of all men

The fate of which can come close to death

As though not knowing gravity exists will prevent you from falling

Nor that laws set in place will keep you out of prison

Ignorance is a dangerous mistress

It lures you in only to leave you stranded

It will strip you of your independence

Leave you bare for all to ridicule

Knowledge, how...

The tears that flow when loss occurs

The hurt that follows when absence is felt

To hold on to the physical, not possible

Only memories remain

The silence that comes when one is not around

The reminiscing of times past, and unsaid words

Of forgotten praises and missed calls

Of passing of time, and evolving of relating

Living a life worth rejoicing essential

To see life through your eyes

To walk this life through your feet

To hear the world with your ears

To embrace experiences with your arms

To rejoice and celebrate with your emotions

To appreciate all in a way that only you can

To know all that your mind harbours

To appreciate you as God intended

To look and see beyond this physical space

The calmness of the sea

On a warm summer’s day

The stillness of the air when all is at rest

I want you to see me, that which your eyes cannot

I want you to hear, that which your ears are closed to hear

The still quiet voice that whispers all

That reveals all that which you wish to see

The simplicity of life

The complexity of man

Of expectations not heard

And intentions hidden in the crevices deep within one’s heart

The double standards that exist

Yet the respect that is demanded

The trust that is violated

All in the name of self-love

Many avoid to be used

Yet find themselves culprits of being users

Of trampling on others, and leaving them...

The art of friendship is a marvel to behold

A masterpiece that takes years to uphold

The colours that mingle and the paint that dries

Leaves a print that will not pass

The shapes that take form and the angles that are defined

Boundaries that are set and space assigned

The depth that it carries and the minds that holds it

The hands that form it, and the hearts that envisio...

Though we are different in many ways

The blood that runs deep within our veins

Red it remains, all the same

I will learn to love you

Though our language different it may be

And our ways parallel and not the same

Our hearts beat, every second of everyday

I will see the value in you

Though our interactions different at times

Arguments arise and opinions apart

Time wasted, words lost
Laughter subdued, all in the name of friendship
Many say it, yet few do it
Walk away, let it go
Deep inside you know the truth
The one you can’t deceive is you
Out of sight out of mind is the saying

Ears shut to the cries of many
Eyes closed so as to ignore the pain of others
Arms clenched in readiness of survival
Hearts cold, selfishness at the centre

The illusions that delude us

The intangible that send us chasing the wind

The dreams of others we pursue

Without the understanding nor reasoning to see them through

Seeking to relate with the shadow

Yet ignoring the person

Which then is more real to you?

The shadow will fade yet the person remains

Why disguise yourself like another in the pursuit to belong

Dear Friends,

My countenance may not be the best, nor my affect much to be desired.

When misunderstanding is my current predicament and the fuzzies my current companion.

In the pursuit to be heard, I was ignored.

In the pursuit to preserve, I was tossed aside.

In the pursuit to uphold what I believed to be instructions, I was deemed an outcast, an outlaw. Were my endeavours far-fe...

The evolving and metamorphosing of life

The birthing of ideas and innovations

The inspirations and visons that enlighten the simple

The voices that wakeup nations

Many run from this, hoping to stay in their old ways

Thinking if they run fast enough, change won’t come to stay

In vain they hold on to that which is obsolete

Hoping, yes wishing, they would just remain the sam...

Sunsets are glorious in my eyes
Many start but not all finish
Races are started but yet not completed
Dreams are written but never fulfilled
Sunsets remind me that all things must come to an end
As wonderful a beginning is, the end must be more glorious
What we do in our life matters
How we run our lives matter
Glorious finishes are possible
All we have to do is see it through

Hellos and goodbyes, we hear all day
The articulation of words in speech
When gestures can confer many meanings
Yet silence can speak a thousand words
How is it that some speak, and others hear nothing?

In communicating, thoughts and ideas are exchanged
In actions, miscommunication may occur, but discussion can clear it all
Many wish to know others yet their hearts have they closed off

From a distance you explore
Intrigued by interactions
The interplay of lives

The deciphering of actions
Of intents not spoken
Of desires not revealed
The mystery of the heart

Imagination your friend
Decoding of spoken words
And of brushing of hands
Of winking of eyes

As memories meander and one remembers

Of times past and tales untold 

The challenges that built character 

The longing that birthed passion

And the words heard in stillness

The love that was kept, and pain released

Memories of lessons learnt and growth attained

Today I was challenged, to think beyond the now

Today I was challenged, to let go and move one

Today I was challenged, to embrace all regardless the form

To hold on even when it hurts

To push on even when the body tires

The tears cried invisible to others

The hurt hidden, so deep no search can find

The memories that flood the mind, only you can live through

Memories is all that is tangible

I went through and rearranged

I went through and culled it all

I went through and cleared the dirt

I went through and shined it all

One by one, I sorted through

All that I had, and all that was through

I repositioned and examined some

Threw out a few, as change needed to be done

Saying goodbye isn’t always nice

But at times needed, if progress is to be achieved

A canvas was given to do with as you like
An empty page given for you to behold your insight
To lay down your visions and secret desires
Only to him to be revealed

The canvas before one’s eyes
Empty was it received
Endless possibilities, not set in stone
Many came and left their marks
Some everlasting beauty while others stains

Many fingers but not the same hand

If silence could speak of treasured thoughts
If desires could be disseminated in the hush-ness of no sound
If we could discern the thought and intents of those close to us
Their reasoning and planning made plain for us
Then communication would not be required
And life made easier
But alas that is not the case…….
No communication means no relations

The crossings and weavings we encounter

The hellos and goodbyes

The strangers that blessed us

The friends that left us

All in the hopes to assimilate

All in hopes to conform

I will talk of beauties that entice us with their ...

Every step choreographed by on high
The flow of music queing me on
The next move known by HIM alone

As we move to the rhythm of the beats
Progress we will make, lessons will be learnt
Though we might part ways in the end

There is a quietness only my soul knows

Memories are a funny thing

They can make you laugh but also cry

They are the basis of reliving the past

And for some, staying there

They hold secrets encapsulated in time

They hold feelings hidden from the world

A special place that one can visit as they wish

To hear voices and see smiles

To feel joy and love of those past

Memories, they hold the power to prope...

And all you have done
My heart is full of joy
That it pours out

When I think about where I was
And where I am now
My mouth is full of songs
No man can hold me down

That liquid love
My eyes are full of tears
A fountain that won’t dry out

When I think of your peace
That garrisons my heart
All my fears fade away
Like a distant memory

In the direst challenges does strength reveal itself

Mediocrity is averted when one chooses to be the difference

Impact is made when one dares to do the impossible
