Quench of thirst
Ho water! Sustainer of life, You that has both life and death in your power, You show your wrath By fading out of our pounds, streams and rivers, Increasing your salinity. And tainting yourself with pathogens, These are the weapon of your vengeance When humanity abuse you. But with your fury you still love us, Like a mother's love for her first born child Your gentle touch eases my nerves And relaxes my muscles. From you I satisfy my thirst, You give free to the animals of the wide; From t...
The Eternal Dance
Water and Life Water, like life itself, is constantly in motion. It flows, it ebbs, and it nourishes. The interplay between water and life is a metaphor that has been explored by poets across cultures and times. Just as water sustains us physically, it also carries deeper symbolic meanings, representing renewal, purification, and the cyclical nature of existence. #AfricaJoyUnbound #Watersofafrica #Joy #MusicofAfrica #poetry #AfricamusicUnbound

Simple days, so full of grace, The warmth of youth we can't replace. Through the years, the image stays, Echoes of those cherished days. Though time may pass and paths may part, ...
