SOFT

SOFT

RADIANT

LIGHT

FLOWING

GRACEFUL

BRIGHT

These are the words

that come from my heart

to my mind

Seeing your face
In this chaotic place

Makes time stop for a moment

In this momentary eternity

I know that

Hope is still alive

Deep inside

You may or may not be

The one possibly the only
But from our glances
There must be something blissful, holy

Maybe be can sit and chat a while

I’m loving your laugh and smile
And your words and thoughts captivate me

Like not many have done before

It’s a shame that our time was short
But life is as such
We’ve come each other’s way in a coincidence
And I’m left with a heartfelt crush

This I don’t mind

Cuz I’ve grown to know
that life is a river
And I’ll just move with the flow

the depraved umbrella

His umbrella may have been depraved

But it weathered his travels

Through the storms and the rain

Through the unforgiving heat of the dry season
It stood and sheltered

Held by steady, caring hands

The umbrella though torn

Remained resilient

 

Bequeathed to him by those who didn’t care for it

It was his faithful companion

 

From south to north and back

It sheltered him like the hand of god over his head
And gave him the solitude to ponder his writings

and his journey in life while he walked

 

The world would look at him in amazement

“Why he doh get ah new one?!?!”
“Is cheap he cheap?!?!”

 

Yet he could not be all the more wealthy

For his heart and soul were ever radiant

Giving to the world more than they knew

 

For he wrote and spoke the hidden truths of our hearts

And in his wanderings he learnt more about humanity
About its despairs, about its hopes and dreams

 

He connects those who wanted to be heard
With those who would listen
And in the joy of connecting people
This became his reward and his own blessing

 

In the depraved umbrella

He realized the divine

And that the imperfect was perfect 
and sublime
