From Within

FROM WITHIN Have you ever seen, my beloved, where the river comes to you for comfort, oh no, you are the one who visits.. or where the sky wept just because you shattered it with your voice ranting untold words.. telling your miseries.. or where the grasses screamed because you stepped on it... no my friend, it doesn't fight back.. find yourself in yourself, not outside the self.. think of all the beauty still left around you and be happy my dear.. you can only be happy if it's from within.. I peeped through the window of your soul to see the thoughts of your heart. I heard the footsteps of your words walking in the garden of my heart. I feel the wind from the wings of butterfly in my stomach carassing my face like the raindrops from the clouds. I smell the fragrance from the lilac tree blooming under the sky in the love garden of a beautiful soul. Can you hear the songs of the birds outside your hut.. they beckons to your soul to come dance with me. ©2023,Emeka Mokeme.
