Eseberuo, Do Not Despair
do not weep over
a pot that is broken
nor grieve for a petal that withers
I may not bring back your lover
nor mend your broken heart
but I bring comfort
in the knowledge that
it is the way of things
for a pot to be broken
for a petal to wither
for a lover to go
paving way for a superior one
the one who comes after him
be patient and do not despair
i once lost a pot
it got broken
all my love in it
and i waited.
