Love Remains
I don’t see
The graceful flap
Of butterflies
Hovering over flowers
When love is on my
Mind
Even though,
I understand the
circular nature of time
And I’ve been to this
Place before
I’m an amnesiac
So I’m still living
Blind
Each
Traversal
Of the circle of
Life
Causes
The soul’s cage
To be redefined
The soul
retains its identity
But with each trip
We lose the
Contents of our mind
Sometimes
We just lose our mind
But the love remains.
The Love Remains
Love Tsunami
Bring your smiles
Bring your positive attitudes
Bring the beauty of God’s creation
Let us create a Tsunami of love
That will roll under
Over the top of
Right through the negativity
Until the world has been replenished
With goodness,
Until there is nothing left
Except Light
Life
and Love
Africa, Where Are You?
I couldn’t escape
Your hook captured me
Right off the coast
The boat ride was dramatic
The waters, turbulent
I lay exhausted
In a new environment
Comforted only by the tranquility
Of your shores
My life depended on your mercy
Strange sensations
As foreign fingers
Caressed me
We stared
Helplessly
Our destiny
Predetermined
The Fisherman and
The captured Fish
Both with mouths to feed
You unhooked me
You stared into my eyes
We were almost out of time
My mouth gaped wide open
For a brief moment
You understood
I too, am God’s creation
You threw me back in the sea
Feeling like you did the right thing
It was too late
I was already lost
Africa
Where are you?
