Caged

CAGED Death knocked on my door In what seemed like a wraith I wailed in fear Sought for grace in every place Yet in my heart I knew I was caged in what seemed like fate The tunnels of life became dark and strange I knelt down with a riddled heart And pleaded to God not to let my soul weep in vast While death stood at the glance of my flesh, in need of my soul The sun sank in the woods nest The days went to the West The moon closed her eyes to rest The sky stood in her chest And the oceans traced the East My heart dropped, and my face became a wreck Yet still I stayed with recondite faith In the range of God Pleading for anew anfractuous life Mbabazi Stellah
