I Am a Storyteller

I am a story teller born from the central parts of Zebediela district In Limpopo province. From Matome mountains inspiration boil from within my soul While the sounds of cows and goats in Makweng Village Continues to remind me about the beauty of story telling Missing those days when my grandmother used to tell the tales of Africa. From morning to evening Stories continues to flow from the rivers of my brain Voices I hear telling me the tales that my pen must keep on inking to narrate Because a storyteller I am and a storyteller i was born to be My voice rise to express the expressions of my life Giving birth to a new world built from the foundations of my imagination. The beauty of sunset in Ga rakgoatha village Makes my thoughts to continuously bleed With stories hidden deeper in the creative caves of my mind I am an African prince blessed with the magnificent gift of storytelling My voice roars to narrate the imaginary world that lives in the chambers of my imagination I am the son of the African soil blessed with the art originating From a generation that used to sit around the fire in a small hut to tell tales of Africa Storyteller I am, storyteller I will forever be Until my mouth emits voice no more For I will be resting in the African soil Where my forefathers are resting.
