Awake…Walking In Faith
Loneliness brings tears...
Togetherness brings tears too:
Despair can't bring joy...
With needles of pain
I crocheted emotions
into a web of depression
cocooning myself in defeat
Churning thoughts
shot a stone of memory
from the deepest cavern
of suppression
echoing the echo
of an ancestral Griots’ maxim:
“I cried because I had not shoes;
until I met a man who had not feet.”
Aroused and uplifted
from the inner sanctum
of doubt, I awoke,
arose, and took a walk
into fields
of possible realities:
walking free
as I wanted
and ought to be…
