Dead Ends

I saw a bird in the garden

Enjoying sweet nectar

Then flowers danced 

At the thought of fruitfulness

I saw the wave break

to deliver

Then the sand in gratitude

released its treasures

to the sea

Even a cloud on some days

release water

to cool the said atmosphere

That made her

In life

There are givers and takers

But all one way streets

Lead to dead ends

Abraham's daughter

I am

Abraham's daughter

In a world of speculation

 ridicule,implicatins and lies


I am

Abraham's daughter

Not June, not May, not Shamfa


I see 

beyond flesh

I hear

beyond distances

I understand across realities


And I know

That all that you say

is speculative

wrapped in a sheet 

of implications


I am

Abraham's daughter

I hear you

And I see you

So I know

 That I am unworthy of your snicker


signed:

Abraham's daughter!

Time

Are you the one

standing with the sickle

and hour glass

waiting for some cliche

to pass

like : only time will tell?


Time my dear,

does not do that 

very well

But humans do

through actions

they define

what they think of you


Time

is the thing

investments are made of

but life is no investment

Life, is a gamble

so don't wait on time

to play you

some unfair game


Make your move

don't let time beat you

Throw your dice

because this thing called time

It is not nice

it is just another cliche:

Time waits on no one...
