The Widower.
An ordinary full moon Not a whisper of warning No signs to alert me Night came in stealth, so suddenly As I lay here in sleep Beside the keeper of my heart And in her womb nestled my unborn seed Night came at that pregnant hour When dusk and dawn meet in embrace And like a coward, it scurried away before I awoke It left long before I could catch my breath Night came empty-handed And left with both hands full
And so when she died The music died with her too And as they put her down Beneath the udala tree I sank to my knees and cried And mourned for the loss of two Seasons have come, seasons have gone And yet the keeper of my heart Holds on to it still I feel her breath fanning my skin In the rustlings of the cassava leaves She sings a lonely melody With the lost creatures of the night And once and again She comes with the rain And as the waters touch my lips I weep, for I taste her salty tears And on every night with a full moon I go to sleep and pray That tonight be the night That night comes again in stealth, so suddenly And finally takes me to the keeper of my heart.
I am what I am. Alive; Unafraid; Evolving; ordinary yet dynamic, totally open to the creator's plans for me, so beautiful and special because a King fought a war and died for ME!
