Your Untold Story.


  • Leaves have withered away
    for harmattan
    and the sun is hot coals
    in your heart
    as you walk the path of shadows
    and the unknown.

    I have seen your eagle
    wings
    from afar
    and so long a time I have
    wondered
    who you are.

    I sense you are one who
    grows with the winds
    and tell stories of
    thin weak strings.

    I sense your fears too.
    They overflow as rivers,
    they tell of your gallantry,
    they tell your untold story.

  1. Would have loved to title this piece ''AFRICA''. It knits her story well with a perfective imagery
