*LERATO'S DIMENSION
Lerato's dimension is door away.
let us walk thru that door,come!
do not choose to stay.
Lerato's dimension is a heavenly place.
her angels protect it and their blessings sweep the space.
so,do not be afraid but may you be told...
her world is upside down, so as we walk thru that door;
we will immediately fall.
do not wear your buckles,do not hold on tight.
we will drop to the sky, quicker than the speed of light.
we surely must go...it's extreme and fun.
we will exceed the sun,the stars and the planets beyond.
we will be free to spread our arms at will;
to fly, dive and drill...
to somersault and twist in the air
or close our eyes,until we get there.
on our way down to the top, we will land on a pink cloud
and sink within the cotton candy.
we will laugh and we will munch as hard as we can.
our bodies will rain from the cloud, entering her heaven's womb.
pouring us down onto the soil of her mystical garden.
we will witness the greatest things, we will experience the great escape:
we will roar like the lions and watch as the giants flee and run away.
we will swim with the sharks
and we will purge with the wolves;
and we will dance around the fire that heals our wounds;
we will clap,
we will chant ,
we will glow in the dark,
and we will sing with the gypsies and be the loudest in the room.
(*Lerato is a Sepedi word for Love;it also is a common name for girls;in South Africa.)
