See those snowdrops? The grandma said. The child nodded her tiny blonde head. This is where faeries in the forest alight. They increase the flower’s hues so bright.

Today the sun rose Over a doleful earth Our hero, uTata Madiba, Whose life has given us worth, Has now set sail For a realm beyond our reach And now imprinted in mind His every word and belief A soul that cared So deeply for humanity Whose humility would dismiss All traces of vanity He strongly loved Every being of every race And fought for his land With sincerity and...

the dark side of the sun sunny side up i begin searching in the soul with light from the moon caressing deep dark space twinkling stars shining winking i look upon the moons face smiling silver shadows dancing fluttering light in the trees hiding seek and you will find as night speaks i whisper softly without a voice not lost dreaming something beautiful a lonely wolf upon a mountain top coming out of the shadows howling into night one with his...

i see an angel you light up in a faraway distance hope shines silent whispers rustling in the trees a white rose walking a beautiful path filled with sweet blossoms chosen as we speak enchanting spells light within a life the curtains begin to raise out of nowhere like a dream i begin talking beautiful words again the path begins changing each and every single day i found a lighthouse the goal...

Eyes alight How far shall stretch our lost regrets? Here where sanity dwells, Is it attained by those with wisdom Or some who rest within; Until a twilight fades in the brake of day And darkness no longer shines, Then ever waits the soft embrace In a place where eyes alight Softly break the morning rays And gone nights silent breath, And lost remains our...
