Life

The curtain tears at the centre stage On a dancing mother and her saddled baby Birds whistle, trees dance as the cock crows The fire, whir, caresses her to ash The new sizzling act oozing panache The herald of a new dawn The snoring clouds will give birth to a novel day Poco a poco, the journey commences Whoa! He makes it to the cast in life The number one movie in the box office See! The smouldering sun, fireballs everywhere The boy, a man, a lion... Rolling in the deep Solomon please last forever Progressively the day bids farewell as the sun fades away The stage illuminates in her consummate intimacy with the moon Basking in the euphoria of virginity long lost Solomon, a boy, bag of bones The moon wax stronger as the night crawls in stealthily Zero, oh! Oh, zero! Time of reckoning calling The weary act takes a big bow as the centre stage closes And his shadow fades back to oblivion.
