Dawn Is Breaking the Night

Different realities, life embeds Every day, valleys and plains, we walk Also, mountains, hills and rocks, we climb Fights we win and battles defeat us Such is the life of a human being Night comes to fling us into the bed Nightmares, we affront to govern our ambitions Hurdles we confront in dreams; wasps sting our faces Our faces and aisles inundated with sweat To end up tasting honey and milk To a human being, such are his dreams The sun’s beam has defeated the long night Horrible had been the darkness Hard it was to find the path in the dimness The night is calm but hugely petrifying For surrounded by obscurity, we cannot see. Disgusting, nights are often No darkness resists the mighty sunlight Mountains shrink; to then see green valleys Audacity and resilience restore our ambitions Through hurdles, we often go but to new life, we come Daniel, Jesus, Job, Jonas, Paul and Sarah of the Bible, inspire us We can now chant the melody of triumph Poem by Mugisho N Theophile
