Ubuntu

I am 
 simply 
   because 
          you are…
    Your breath 
     suckles
  the Esse
in me….
                                                      
  Your 
eye 
bathes 
 my path
     in light…
                  My 
                     heart
                        binges 
                              on the
                         sweetness 
                                        of
                                      your 
                                       nectar…
                                           My
                                       weary 
                                        soul 
                                      finds
                                      rest
                       
                               beneath 
                                 your 
                          wings…
      
                         My
                     sails
              heaving
        with your 
         infinite
abundance..

   My wits
   are but
   a mote     
   of your  
 limitless      
brilliance 
There is
  no me
without 
  You….
                                    

                      
     
           
              * Ubuntu or Botho is 
               an original African
               path of 
               enlightenment 
               It’s not a religion 
               It’s simply respect
               for life in all its forms.
