Elahmadi Goba Poem
As I Woke Up I Started To Remember The Storm From The Night Before.
As I Felt A Lump Grow In My Throat; Water Filled My Eyes.
What Happened To My Flower?Where Did Five Years Of My Life Go?
Five Years Of Watering,Five Years Of Caring,
And Five Years Of Loving!
What Happened To My Flower?
Why Do I Feel The Weight Of Mount Everest On My Chest And Shoulders?
Why Do I Feel The Cold Waters Of Niagara Falls Flowing Off The Cliffs Of My Face?
What Happened To The Feelings Of Happiness That I Felt?
My Flower I Gone!Gods Most Beautiful Creation On Earth. Gone!
Please God Give Me The Strength To Overcome My Loss,
And Give Me The Courage To Grow A New Flower.
As I Sit Here And Wait,
I Pray For The Strength And Courage To Fill My Heart,
In Place Of The Emptiness.
The Emptiness That Is Of A Desert Thirsty For Water.
An Emptiness Hard To Fill.
What Can I Do Next?
Should I Search For My Flower?
My Empty Heart Tells Me Yes.
Can I Search For My Flower?
My Mind Tells Me No.
Now I Feels Like A Clown Juggling My Heart, Mind, Soul, And Feelings.
Why Were We Created To Love And Be Loved,And Hurt Or Get Hurt?
Is That What Life Is All About?
Who Can Help Me By Answering The Questions I Have No Answer To?
Must I Travel To China And Seek A Wise Man In A Temple?
Or Just Look Up In The Sky And Ask Why?

Elahmadi Goba Poem
As I strolled through the prairie, I stumbled across the most enchanting fairy.
Transparent wings and a sparkling wand, a soft silky dress she made me
respond.
Surprised and amazed I just stood there and dazed into her eyes, wondering if
she came down from above the skies.
I wondered if all that is happening can be true, so I started to ask a question or two.
Are u real? Or are you fake?
Am I asleep? Or am I awake?
I pinched my arm so hard it started to ache.
Then I seen the most beautiful sight.
The fairy started to glow a rainbow of light.
She spoke to me, her words polite ...
She said"please do not wake up its a dark night, I will always be there for you."
Then she disappeared out of sight.
Now I realize it was just a dream, but in the dream world I have her on my
team.

Elahmadi Goba Poem
why did u look at me that way?
it caught my sight, then you walked away.
like the butter fly i seen this shiny spring day.
it looked at me from the top of a flower.
like a king on his throne who has all the power.
it finished its cycle of nature as i approached.
then it flew to the next flower as if it was coached.
the beauty of nature.
gods creation and human temptation made me follow her.
as i approached i waved to her with my hand.
like the butter fly flapping his wings as he lands on the flower.
she greets me with open arms.
that are like the open petals of the flower.
then the course of nature repeats itself, the cycle of life.
