A different kind of light poetry, resilient and 'enlightening'.

'Ubunthu' is an African concept of communal togetherness and spiritual philosophy of light from darkness.

Lumina is not light hearted at first, but she searched for the light and followed its beam.

Lumina’s Light Light had faded in reflection from start to finish bitter battered final end Bright mirror’s prisms a blinding darkened prison in her luscious name Long lost love conceived in lust and lustre looming large from liquored loins Undone contaminated utterly unscripted used usurped unleashed by man in Manic malice corrupted massacred monstrously moving through murky mud Innocent inconceivably conscripted to illness indecision incisive icicles imbibed No nascent numinous naivety just noxious narrative concealed in naked novelty Arrived at audacious ardour converted authenticity anticipated from her axes Life had burnt Lumina’s candle at both ends from start to finish in a never ending Loop towards atrocity and back from awful angst to loops and loops of loneliness Long last she searched her name for lighter meaning for Life Ubunthu Magnitude Illustrious Namely Absolution and shone in radiant light of who she truly was 26th July 2017
