verses to remember

Many a dusty wind blew my way

To cover my white linen

Many my tear drop and itching, its passing

My sobbing, my sighing, so many

This never saw light of day

To leave effects unbearable today

In this memory distorted

In a smile my face will hide

A happy man for others, that I am

Indeed the good which therein lies

Scenes to reform my life

These fruits, soon alive to bloom

Fast my response will be

To close my eyes if another is fleeting

This lingering effect on me to reduce

Thus the legacy which it left

Along my drains so full it filled

Allowing not any to flow, freely at all times

A life satiated with blowing storms

A life bursting of collected deposits of impasse

A more affluent life to lead till the end of time

Weep but a little, oh worms in the sand

Leave your mind alert in all

To strike when it is hot

Lest, the bulk you’ll lose

Step at a time, at your pace

You must take, in all haste

Listen, lest you might miss another

Listen, not when down it weighs

Listen! That way, it lies ahead

Sound it on the roof top

Search it even on the path

Set it free, your lips, for the approaching ear

Be patient if it delays

Be perseverant in your wait

Anything is possible, even the little, regard it

It would not be like the world

What has been seen, heard, or done

But soon will be, go- man- go

On on you must go

On on it will go

On on to soon follow

Forget them not, especially her

Whose feet you often heard at your side

Should you be there and you hear no more

Forget not too, what came out

When your lips embraced their ear

Else like thorns in your flesh, your journey through

Like seeds scattered in a planted field

The crow high in the sky will search and dig

His search, try always to escape

Together they may dig and cover with earth

Their seed, their strength no more needed

When the sky, its gentle arrows descend

Each according to his strength

Each according to the soil, germinates

To taste sweet or bitter, its fruits

When the chickens finally come home to roost

May you be guiltless in their hoot

For the day is weary and darkness flaps its wings across the sky

Surely will return like a dog searching a prey

Will not forget its master’s door post

If even for years gone, to embrace

Fast about all, you could lie

Free in your mind, you would not hide

From reality weighing down on your neckline
